IMHO () it seems to me that all 11cabs (Ford & Chev) had internal skins, and that Ford dropped the skins for the 12 cab. See This Photo originally linked by Hanno in the "Under New Management" Thread...

It is just possible we're looking at the outside of this door.

Well, Derr...
I humbly pull my head in...
But still stick by my theory!

Default Side Curtain Rods

Righto Chaps,

Im sure this has been discussed before but want to reignite it as a topic.

Side curtains on the 11/12 Cabs must have had support rods in them that go into the little die cast holders at each end of the top of the door.

Does any one have pictures or know what they look like?

My way of thinking is they must be similar to Model T or A curtain rods.

Any ideas gentlemen??

Default Side curtain rods.....

In all my years I have never seen a complete set of curtain rods.

I have seen pieces and know that they are partly round and flattened towards the end section............. would any one have a set to provide an actual tracing that we could scale up or down onthe computer...????

The door opening is laready ackward enough that many were dispensed with in field conditions ie North Africa.....in Canada in many historical parade square pictures they seem to prefver them tied back against the cargo box.......... and get in and out like a jeep........ I believe the same happened to the canvas side curtains.... the cargo box toe board and sometimes the bonnet or hood cover.

Luck would have it, I got a set of originals NOS curtains from Dirk years ago and fully intend to reproduce a set for my vehicle and keep the original for reference as the plastic window section is all yellow and brittle.

In reality they were not very useful and more cumbersome than we can imagine. In Canada they did use them but the Winter driving weather was a great motivation.
