Other bits
Have two instrument clusters, both the early and the later one. Truck was fitted with the early type, but I do like the look of the later guages.
Anyway I decided to do both clusters and make my mind up later.. Located some impregnated webbing from a mate who had it "lying around" and didnt want it for anything he had. Bugger me if its not identical to the original stuff... its very good to work with. To make it a bit sticky I gave it just a light brush with a bit of petrol. Floor of cab is now in and working on seats and windscreen coming up. Went out to an old floor I had and found a perfect fuel tap. Cleaned it up and in it went.

Chipping away
A few more pictures..
Drivers seat in correct position, found the locators that go through the floor. Back of Cab now on... feels good to get that in place. Windscreen frames pulled apart, one was too far gone, had another luckily. Managed to save sufficent original nuts and bolts as well.

Thanks Dudley
Your truck is very impressive, body on the back is not one I'd ever seen before.
Please post some footage of you doing some laps in it when you're able. Interesting to note when I pulled the backing plates off these front mud guards the mud flap material was rubber. Judging from the colour of the paint, would suggest they were a fitment during military service.

Top Coat
Nice to have parts completed and ready to go back on,
Drivers door had a few cracks at the hinge area. Welded them up and ground them flat. Hard to see we'd been in there.
