Re: Some Cab Questions

As far as the data plate, that's going to likely be fun to try and clean up. I'd drill out the rivets and let it soak for a while (like days) in soapy water. Hopefully the paint used will soften up and you can slide it off with a fingernail. There are probably dozens of recommendations but if water doesn't work I'd start with mild paint removers like acetone... you're trying to take the silver off and leave the green. I want to kick guys in the nuts who are too lazy to take the time to mask these things off... it'd take about two minutes to mask this off.

Re: Some Cab Questions

Thanks for all the replies.
Would you consider the tunnel pictured a "high hump"
I can put the other section on and get a picture tomorrow

So true!! It should look something like this (only not sideways) before it was painted over by an ogre with a spray gun

Re: Some Cab Questions

I've got the data plate soaking, we'll see in a couple days.

Looks like I have a bolt in low hump. Apparently a 63 item (mine is a 63).
May have been a tall hump originally
I'm going to drill the welds out and bolt the front section in.

Any thoughts on this hole, rear of passenger floor, near the tunnel.

Re: Some Cab Questions

You can buy a replacement data plate at Classic Parts if that one doesn't strip off/
