Chevrolet C60S Restoration

[Howard Wade]

Hello Not sure about the headlights the small ones are Jeep, so not sure if they were fitted after the 41 rebuild or a later fitting. I now have some large Headlights to fit with the blackout guards. Ive also got the correct front side lights and rear lights. Ive managed to get more done and started the strip down. Howard

Appreciate the pictures Howard as I am working on a 1940 cab 11 Chev.

Now....could some one with good eyes confirm that the shifter for the tranny has the "reverse lock" on the wrong side????? mine is on the left of the shift lever??????? Does the lock lever work on iether side????? would be akward to activate the lever with your tumb.

I have also taken note of the location for the battery inside the cab right next to the 2 speed T case shift tower........ I relocated mine to the (cab 13) running board location as the 12 volt battery is too large for the original space ....... this is the first time I have seen an orignal set up.

Cheers

Hello Bob your right about the shift lever I had it out earlier its not in the correct way round, I removed it to remove a panel. I must have been getting tired at that point its been a long day. Yes the battery box sits on the two channels behind the gear lever. Howard

Mine is on the right of the stick and it is easy to operate, never had a problem with it.

Hi Robert

That implies that the reverse lock lever WILL work on either side when inserted in the tranny tower!!!!!! Interesting.

Well we achieved more work on the C60S today. Its now in a position to have the engine lifted out of her, Ive just got to weld up a stand to sit the engine in. The cab and front scuttle also was removed today, along with other various parts.

You're not mucking about, Howard!

Great to see this progress, going this quickly you will remember where all that Cab 12 tinwork goes when the time comes to put it back together.

PS: here's a "then" picture of a Ford F60S with the same 3C1 body to keep you motivated

Hello Hanno, I know what you mean there are alot of cab parts alone never mind every thing else. The cab has come apart four ways. I have taken lots of piuctures so it should be to bad. I should have an industrial steam cleaner coming Monday or tuesday next week or get rid of the dirt. It will then go under the blaster. Well we had a good day yesturday, I bought some angle iron and made up an engine cradle, we then lifted the engine from the chassis and fitted it to the cradle. Rest of the day was spent unbolting other parts, rear and front shocks, all side step brackets, front propshaft. Well thats the state of play to date. Howard
