You're the MAN. Thanks for the pics of the top of the frame showing the fittings and location. I can tell where they go but I'll have to get the pieces from John at Midwest.
Thanks again,
Ron

Ron, You can make the two inside tabs, for that matter you could make both?
I'm sure that John has 'em also, do you still have the nut in the windscreen frame? Bolt one, weld the other.

Is it just me, or are the rear tires mounted backwards?

I know that some offroaders set directional tires this way so that they have some traction when backing out of a mud hole, but I can't see this shining example of a restoration being used this way.

Very nice truck Bruce, very nice...

you are correct about the tires ,being directional I either put up with it or have the tires removed off the rim and rotated ,predominantly the truck is on road so the groves don't touch the bitumen. Or I run the tire on the left or spare , but I want to rotate as much as often.

Bruce,
Thanks for the response. Yeah, the bolts are there and the hod down tabs are still there. They were cut at the edge of the frame. I had started to fab the hold down and they are going to be pretty much like your pic.

Ahh - I failed to consdier tire rotation. Most of these trucks get driven so little that problems with the alignment rarely affect the tires.

Good on you Bruce for driving it often enough to warrant rotating the tires!
