thanks for the measurements phil I think my sender is dead so up to buy a new one. the trick with the oilpomp and the drill works fine thanks for the tipp guy's. after this I cranked the engine for the first time, that worked well. then I took some compression pressure measurements and this showed a little leaking in 2 cilinders (valves) so off go's the head again and the valves neaded a little bit more grinding and cleaning now they are oke. so the head is backon again and then try again. I also made the arge like new and placed it on the chassis now it starts looking more like a truck.
cheers jaap

Default How good??

She is starting to look awesome Jap!!!!

Before you go beserk with the cab. Id whack the drive shaft in, rig up a ignition system, put in the radiator and take her for a quick spin. That way you can check how she brakes and drives.

Not to mention the motivation it'll give you to keep at it.

Not that you seem to be lacking in energy.

Default Could you take a picture from the front

Hi Jaap

Could you take a photo head on of the cab frame? Want to see if there are any differences in the drivers side rail between the 11 and 12 Cab.

Truck is looking great.

Cheers Phil

Default No I'm just curious

Hi Bob

No just that the pictures Jaap posted makes the drivers side look straighter than the one on my Pat 12 or the frame you brought down for me.

May just be the angle, or I wondered if there was a difference on the Pat 11&12 that we had not noticed.

Cheers Phil

Default Vive la difference......

Hi Phil

The only differences I know of is that the driver's side has more curve to fit the steering wheel shaft than the curve on the pass. side.

I can take measurements of both cab 11 and 12 and photos if necessary.

Default cap frame pictures

tony youré right about the driveshaft it will drive a lot beter I think
first I have to do some more things before I can start her up for the first time.
the compression is oke now so now the ignition can be setup.
about phils question about head on pictures of the cap frame, here they are the driver side has more curves than the other side, hope this helps.
so ad the end of the week I am off for a short holyday to get my battery charged up.

cheers jaap
