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.

More
Few more bits done and ready to go back on.
Roof is on for trial fit and there is no room for it anywhere in the shed. It is an Australian roof of an F60s. Hopefully I can find a Canadian ford roof that hasnt been hacked in the future, but this'll do for the time being Steering box did turn out to be knackered. Swap meet at Corowa to the rescue. A very generous gesture from an MLU member who had first dib's on it allowed me to purchase it instead. Steering now feels like new, very tight. Box apparently only had 5000 miles on it.

Progress
Finally, after much procrastination. Ive hooked into the rear axle.
Brake shoes were OK. Bearings came out looking like new. Rebuilt the wheel cylinders of course. Handbrake cables had snapped and one was an absolute &%*# to get out. New old stock ones went in courtesy of Mr Keith Webb.
