Pulled out my fuel tank brackets that came with the truck today. They had been shortened to mount one tank under the 2B1 bed that was installed when I got it.
Enlarged all of the photos posted,(thanks again), and got my head around the linkage layout. Was the linkage mountings welded directly to the front fuel tank bracket? Neither of my brackets have any evidence of anything being cut off. The frame doesn't have the mounting holes circled in David's photo. Am I missing something else? Pulled out a 4-speed synchronized transmission today from a '57 Chev truck being sent to the scrapper. Figured if I was going to 'pimp my ride' with a later model 235 and high speed rear axle, might as well go all the way!

cable
Lucky for me I had the remains of the original cable ..I took it down to Col Bradford , the Chev parts dealer in Cheltenham, he's gone now . He found 2 NOS ones exactly the same ..he said they are from a late 30's chev ute ... dont know what model .
I was looking for the axle hub seals ..he looked up is old FLASEAL book, and I was knocked over ..In the Chev listing in the book was listed : C8 Canadian army truck . FLASEAL were a old Melbourne company , they made oil seals for years . He ended up selling me some NASCO brand seals ..NASCO was the GMH owned parts company . I found the C8 rear hub seals at AAA vintage auto seals in Rooks road, Mitcham ..they were FLASEAL brand , in old yellow boxes . The king pin kit came from Power Train ( Keith's old workplace , and another business now gone I believe ) ..but moved and run by Keith Downey. I just found the original boxes for the seals FLA-SEAL 11183 , on the box it reads : manufactured by A.FLAVELL PTY LTD Melbourne Australia NASCO 592441 ... this is the C8 front hub seal I think .. these are old felt and leather seals ... these days ..I would go for modern neoprene seals if available in the correct dimensions. Mike

Thanks Andrew for the great photos, and all for the help! The linkage should be fairly straight-foreward to to reproduce from the looks of it.
Thanks again! David
