New Hollander Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Small improvement but make it more realistic. Keep the steering wheel a bit more flat. Really curious about the resin rear mudguards. Are they wider than the originals? Edited October 15, 2020 by New Hollander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 i have tried google but cant find anything,im looking for a picture of a ford 6600 safety cab version showing the rear plough light,any ford fans got pictures of it?

844john Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 some tidy work there Paul, the wheels make a big difference on the 66. It's a shame about the superglue fogging the window but at least the weathering has hidden it ( as an aside, why does this phone insist on changing fogging to dogging ???) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say after almost 45 years off Saftey cabbed 7A Ford's being worked hard , you will find it hard to get a pic off an original one with the light still there , unless it's restored, best I can find is the rear off a UH 7600 if it helps Paul.

SPN Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Here are the two positions I recall (apologies for brutally hacking Justin's pic) Inside light cluster on right, but I also remember (could have been on a 4000) the ploughing light under/behind the toolbox on the left hand side. The difficulty with the position on the original UH pic is that it blocks the view of the indicator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
