Hope it makes sense Shane. If not, ask away again....
As to the Cab assembly. Go to F60L recent pics thread in the softskin forum. Page 3 is about the best spot to start looking at Cab assembly pictures and any comments made at the time on hiccups and moments of frustration.

That, and take LOTS of disassembly photos prior! Even with those, I still have problems.
Mostly because I have the memory of a goldfish. Did I mention I have the memory of a goldfish......... Have you been acquiring the manuals? Sometimes takes several seperate manuals to show the detail you may need. On a different topic, I thought I had finally caught up with the guy I have been trying to track down for you. Turned out to be the meter reader, and he wasnt able to offer any help as to where the owner was. Wouldnt/couldnt even tell me the address that the power bills were being sent to. Swine!

Hi All
Tony hit the nail right on the head for the most important step in starting a restoration "....take LOTS of disassembly photos prior! Even with those, I still have problems. Mostly because I have the memory of a goldfish.........." None of us has the memory we wish we had and the pictures are great for that, but I can not count the number of times somebody has asked a question on MLU and somebody pops right back with a photo they already had in their computer. I would add take lots and lots of photos before you even start work every conceivable angle top side, inside, and underneath. Digital cameras, picture cell phones are great for this, but don't do as one member of our club did keep the photos on your cell phone, you guessed it he lost the cell phone. Store the photos off on a computer, print them out, do something to create a copy. Being a gold fish isn't all bad I just have to remember which way I swam around the bole yesterday, so I can go the opposite way today and see new stuff. Cheers Phil

Cheers for that Phil. Hey GT i cant find F60L recent pics thread. Also a big shout out to Hugh Davies we were going to work on the truck tonight. However i gave him a call to see if he was still coming over and the answer was no... thats because hes over in NSW fighting the fires, thats right Hugh has put something else in front of a blitz truck and for those that know him thats just well......a miracle.
