Its all about finding out
Gday all
Keep it coming David, Bob, Hanno & anyone else - info & opinions....... its all welcome. After removing the spreader (Moment of silence for the 60 years of hard work its done) I noticed a couple of things. See photo's I suppose I'm not that sentimental after all as I still sent the spreader to the scrappies. I did however receive 30 pieces of silver* for my trouble. Now back to the Photo's. The last one is obviously the convoy light that shine onto the diff. (very pleased that was still there) The switch I suspect may be an original fitment as well. Im guessing this but the two little badges above and below the switch look very Blitzish** to me *90 dollars Australian **Adj/Like Blitz, bearing resemblance

Electrical bits
Yes Tony, that is indeed original and usually missing. The little plates say "red" and "white" and it's used to switch to blackout convoy lighting.

Righto - as I were
Okey Dokey
Will continue here........ Front shell is off. Oh boy! How much easier are the 13's to pull apart?? They would have half the number of bolts compared to a 12 Cab. The trucks are a great example of wartime development in improving design, reducing amount of materials used and speeding up production of units per day.

Interesting comparison
Interesting to go from restoring a cab 12 to 13 - undoubtedly the more satisfying way to go. Just wait till you drive it - you'll be amazed at how much room there is.
At this rate you'll have her finished in a couple of weeks! K Quote:

Back into it
Isnt it rude of normal life duties to get in the way of truck restoration.
Anyway they did... but they can"t forever!!  So Ive picked up where I left off. Decided to finish attacking the Cab. Managed to get all the floor screw headed bolts intact... bar two. Point for discussion. The webbing under the floor has definitely been impregenated with something from the Factory. Does anyone have a name for it apart from black sticky tarry stuff
