Well said! One of the lovely things about our forum!......although it does usually mean going to bed in the middle of the night

what about GMC CCKW? Don't they use the same webbing stuff under the bonnet/hood? I did buy some NOS CCKW nails/screws a while ago, which are the same as used on the CMP to secure the seal.


Bob, Jacek; I have some pics of a C15 here in Holland with a 2A1 body (also came from France) and allthough I think Jacek's truck probably retains more original details, I will try to post some pics in the weekend.

Default Excuse me while I wipe eggs off my face,,,,

Alex

You were right....my cab 11 had rubber anti-squeak spacer.

It had canvass tape elsewhere but on the hood it was RUBBER...

Always learning is fine....... not remembering due to age is the pits.

Now I need to find some rubber material.

Cheers

Bob

Bob I am curious how these wingnuts You wrote about were securing the hood. Do You have any photo? I also can't find any bolts for wingnuts in engine cover panels. On the picture You have posted there are two hooks which purpose was probably to secure the hood. I don’t think it was original design as I can see any trace of it in my truck or on Cletrac vehicle.

Default Ah yes .... the details.

Hi Jacek

NO.... those two clips on my cab 11 are WRONG..... they were added by the previous owner and have no place on a cab 11

The hood on factory pictures was held by two nuts, one in each forward corner....... I have seen many pictures with washers welded upright on those nuts for easier dissassembly in routine maintenance..... they may have been replaced by wing nuts at the factgory eventually.

Will look for other pictures.

A friend of mine has found the supplier for the canvass web for the hood and I will forward to you separately.......

Cheers

Default A few quick pictures...

Showing the hood on an early C8 cab 11

the two bolt holes are marked

Also included the dash portion which has retained its lettering even thoguh the rest of the truck is totally rusted. Not sure if the lettering was only o the early no vent models.

Looking for other pics.

Cheers

There are 4 possible holes for bolts, but only two in the center could be used for wingnuts. Or it was not a wingnut but a wingbolt they used?
