the cab and panel is built much the same was as the rest of the hull, basically sandwich layers of steel bolted together. I’m sure it was easy to fix in the field , 70 years ago, but with corrosion in much of the upper cab section under the windshield, its tough, as we need ( well..want) to preserve as much of the delicate sheet metal dash and instrument boxes as we can, so its heat, oil, tap repeat !
