The adventure begins

While sorting through the pile of parts I discovered the coolant overflow tank. It took a bit of searching to figure out what it actually was. I’m assuming there should be a tube in the hole on the bottom to allow it to vent without the coolant coming out. Is this tube replaceable and if so are they available?

Also, is there a place to find dimensions and material sizes for the solid side door curtains for this truck?

I have purchased the manual for the truck but trying to keep busy while awaiting its arrival in a couple of weeks.

Hello Ray, nice project you have there.

Re. the side curtains, have a look on Phil Waterman's website: http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/

I’ve begun the job of replacing the sheet metal and rotten angle iron on the cab roof and back wall. To simplify things a bit I had the holes cut on the waterjet at Metals Plus in Whitby. A much neater job than I could have accomplished by hand. Still figuring out the settings on the spot welder with my buddy in the picture.
