Jimh Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I hope this is the right place to put this but I started looking at the cab last night and I'd be interested to know what is meant to go in/on the following. This was bolted to the front panel; on the nearside. There has been a canvas strap which has long since rotted off. Fire extinguisher? Nearside of the cab close to the side window. The cab has had some bodges done on it in the past and a number of the panels have been partially replaced so I don't know if there is meant to be other brackets to support whatever this bit held in. Two for the price of one. What is the narrow steel cubby hole for? Clipboard? Packed lunch? And the wooden cupboard - what was emant to live in there? The internal shapes do seem quite specialised. Nearside of the body. What gets hooked on these? TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Batchelor Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 On third picture down can see botto of a fire extinguisher holder so maybe the bracket in the first shot is for another purpose? Have you got the oil can holder mounted inside the engine bay on the n/s chassis rail? I have an operators manual for a recovery truck, next time I'm home I'll see if any of the bits are mentioned.

Jimh Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Aye, the oil can clip was still there on the offside chassis rail. The little extinguisher was still in the cab but I couldn't think what else would be about the right size for the bigger bracket and round.

Ed Batchelor Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I could have sworn our oil can clip was on the n/s chassis rail but we did take it off 15yrs ago so will have to look back at the pre-strip pictures at home to refresh my memory...

Top box on rear of cab is for first aid kit Hooks on side of locker secure wire hawser for scotch pan ground anchor under this should be place to stow scotch pan held in place by a flat bar . Narrow steel box is for drivers work ticket. (similar to old style drivers log book) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
