BODIES AND CABS
Fig. 35. S-Series Cab Panels
SHEET METAL REPAIRS
A special feature of the S-Series Cab is the availability of
complete body panels for repairing the cab. The types of
panels available are shown in Fig. 35. These panels enable a
service man to restore a damaged cab to new condition
without the usual problems associated with cab rebuilding.
Extensive metal refinishing is not required and most
restoration welds are in areas of low stress.
SHEET METAL TOOLS
To perform the necessary cab sheet metal disassembly
and rebuild work, the special tools listed here should be on
hand. Most of these are common to any cab or body
rebuilding shop.
1.
Electric or pneumatic drill.
2.
Sheet metal drill bits.
3.
Pneumatic chisel (SE-2664 or SE-2129).
4.
An assortment of C-clamps.
5.
MIG welder (SE-2640).
6.
Weld wire Spec. No. E70S-3.
PREPARING CAB FOR PANEL REMOVAL
Before sheet metal repairs to cab can be started some
mechanical work must be performed. This will depend on cab
damage and which panel is being replaced. Since the side
panel (Fig. 36) or door frame is a commonly replaced panel,
let us use the left side panel replacement as an example for
what mechanical work is required. The following items must
be removed:
1.
Left door, seat and interior trim.
2.
Dash pad and instrument panel left side mounting.
3.
Roof and back panel liners.
4.
Left scuff plate and floor mat.
5.
Windshield and rear window glass.
6.
Junction boxes, relays, dimmer switch, wiring harness
and brake piping.
7.
Marker light harness and air horn supply line.
8.
Fuse block, junction block and starter solenoid.
9.
Fuel or air tanks.
10. Cowl top outer panel.
