No connection to me.

Seen this cab for sale locally. Not sure how rare fibreglass cabs were? 

I can view for somebody and supply more pics and what not. 

In perth, Western Australia.

Note how the dashboard is a reverse R-model design, unlike the North American F-model dash.

Tim, when I think of a fiberglass F-model cab, I always recall the Leader brand trucks produced by Cyril Anderson. My understanding is he ran Mack Trucks Australia Pty Ltd, from 1963 to 1979, and produced Leader trucks at Toowoomba from 1972 to 1984.

I will have to have a look see at how the American F dash is. 

KS, I can see the similarities between the old Leaders and the f models. By memory, I think the Leader featured a fibreglass cab too?

Wow, yes they are completely different. Would make climbing into the bunk an excercise!

I would grab that one and put on my second R's chassis if it's closer or easier to ship.

On the other hand it seems attractive as such a crasy deal to do. Easier to go - less fun
