Mate she looks fantastic keep posting more pictures . I think a lot of us understand the effort you are putting in, and lets face it its a learning curve for us all.

Thanks Shane . As per a conversation with Bob C this morning, I rolled out some white strip caulk on the cab floor and set the back wall into place. Just put a couple bolts in for now, have to dig up the originals in a box somewhere ?

Go to TSC and by a few pounds of assorted bolts...... good luck finding the square nuts.

Truck is looking very good.

as it been reworked ready to fire up?

[Kirk Armitage]

Original bolts if possible or close , not too fussy about the grade marks on the heads of new bolts, on an antique, maybe underneath where their not visible. Engine wise, had the 239 bored out, needed one sleeve, so I put the bottom end together, also adjustable valves and its sitting on the end stand waiting to be finished. Wheels are probably seized !

Have 5 holes on the back of the cab , rht side of the window, any opinions , original or civvy mod ? One hole is ripped so something was there at one time.
Thanks K Armitage

I think there may have been a small thin box there Kirk (original fitment) for paperwork of some nature...

Have seen this sort of thing on some wrecks but have no photographic evidence that I can remember.

My suggestion, fill the holes with something you can paint over but dont weld them up.

Great job by the way - getting me inspired to kick on with my project.
