I've searched the forums and read what's there, but was wondering if anyone has any pictures of installation of the foward cab cowl patch panels on the '41 - '46 series? I purchased both the inner and outer for both sides but since there was nothing left of the originals I need some help.

Thanks,

Down2sea,
I replaced most of my lower cab on my 4t6. I made all of my panels. I took a lot of pictures. Don't know if they will help but have a look. Good luck.

Dan,

Thanks for the link - it looks like you've done some fantanstic work there; I hope my turns out as well. The area I'm specifically referring to is displayed on your picture # 83 in your album. In addition to the two diagonal "foot pieces, for a better word) the lower panels behind and just forward of them are pretty much shot. I ordered inner and outer patch panels for the skin but have yet to even locate the description for the two 45 degree "foot rest" looking parts.

Thanks again,

Don

As far as I know they are not avaliable. I had some left of mine for a pattern and had a sheet metal shop make mine. I made the rest of the panels for my truck.

Jim Carter has the 41 - 46 panels and the 39 40 appear on ebay from time to time.
If you need some installation advise on the panels please contact me at;

MM472,

I purchased the panels (same as shown on your item 200030919304 eBay ad) from Jim Carter. I must sheepishly admit that I'm not doing the work myself although I should have put my own skills to work after what I've observed by body guy doing.

Thanks to you and the others for the great feedback.

MM472,

I sent you a few shots of the first attempt by my body shop. Not sure what they thought I purchased patch panels for. Can you tell me a name for the left and right diagonal (gussets)pieces that run from the toe board to floor board? I see them in the parts and maintenance books but no one seems to offer them for sale. I would have asked my body guy to have his welder to fab them but the welder has been fired.
