1940 Cab 11 C8 Wireless restoration

[cletrac (RIP)]

Here it is after three coats of light stone paint. I used self priming corrosion resistant low lustre General enamel.
Note the overload springs. Were these common on 8 cwts? They were painted khaki before but they don't look like they were installed at the factory. Where the front stopper is bolted to the frame it's over the square washers on the shock absorber bolts. The other side is the same way. I don't think the factory would have done it that way.
I've used the blasting sand over about a half dozen times but it's getting so dusty now that it's hard to see what I'm doing. I guess it's time to blast some parts outside and let the sand go. It's good for the driveway anyway.
