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 !

From an amateur
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.

Mystery holes
Sounds good Tony, I'll keep them. Already fixed the ripped one, will look for some pics of that cab area.

Get it done while its still warm.
Great weather today and looking the same for the weekend, so we are trying to get the roof in shape for paint. I'm not patient enough to perform miracles with bodyfiller, so very little was used, left a couple of kisses on the front center edge of the roof for "Character" . Hopefully paint will go on tomorrow.
Started on the front clip, by replacing one captured nut and cage on the drivers floor plate. This was the only one I remember breaking on teardown, pretty impressive for the age. A donor clip has come in handy for these parts, especially a side vent frame ,which will be replaced next. K Armitage

Roof goes on
Still working on the front clip, replaced the angle iron mount, the original had been cut in order to install a hydraulic pump.
The roof has been installed and rolled out the truck for a few pics. Other than the clip in primer, were out of parts to paint, so I guess its time to start sandblasting again. K Armitage (and crew )
