CGT Restoration - Update

[Bob Carriere]

....but.....but...... I thought you were working on a cab 13.......

did you get a whole cab 12 body from Elliott.......

Boy that generates a whole bunch of questions..... and hopefully more pictures....

did you use a later 13 frame and swap the cab 12..... ??

What kind of problems did you run into with the floor plate of the cab 12 and fitting the levers......

Oh .... by the way... when you have a nice sunnt day and take out the COE inside the lean to..... can we have some pictures....pleeeeze! and its provenance... looks unusual.

No, the CGT cab 12 is not mine, it belongs to 15th field, just another west coast FAT. Mine is cab 13!
I was just making a point the rear end configuration of both CGT's is almost identical. Also a shot of 15th fields, limber and 25 pounder a couple years ago in a very wet Remembrance day parade. I rebuilt my booster from 2 parts boosters , not sure if it works right, it kills the engine when I press the brake pedal, probably due to a massive vacuum leak. I also used a 235 instead of the 216.
