Vent could work, also the grill guards are interchangeable.
Sorry vultures, I got plans for this and my others, but ya never know what tomorrow will bring.
EDIT: Data plate sez K-18-C
Delivery date to the Signal Corp is 1940, but I think it may be a '39 cab.
I would like to try to restore it as rare as they are. I saved this one from the crusher, literally. The guy was there with an excavator getting ready to pick it up. A lot of good old iron went for weight.

PB - from the plugged hole in the roof where the vent is MIA - some earlier pics Tin posted up clearly show a rectangle vent - the ones in the pics above show sort of a tear drop vent.
What I have noticed on the onces almost in tact - and the ones restored is right behind each door on the vertical radius panel - a Red and Green decal of some sort ??? I cannot enlarge it enough without loosing contrast of the picture to then read it - anyone know what these are that may be able to be duplicated ?
I will be calling that computer repair shop today I know that - see what the verdict is.

Computer suppose to be done tomorrow where I can pick it up - then get it hooked up and see all I have to do to get everything back on it.
Did I mention how many pics of the KC I have on Debs camera to post up !!!!!!!!! What a shame you cannot see them.
Rear interior paneling all removed - lot of ants - cockroaches - wasp nests under all that wood. See some major sealing issue that I will have to deal with upon assembly.
The rear roll up windows just shed water down that exterior wall on the inside just like you car door seals do - drains on the bottom were long gone filled with pine straw - soundcoating that has shed away over the years (maybe from all them rocks breaking the glass broke it loose).
Smells better every day in the back getting rid of that rotten wood - sheds apart just like wet paper.
Of course you could see all of this - IF I were able to post ALL these pictures up.

Gosh!!! You mean all that stuff happened in only 30 years sitting under a pine tree with the windows shot out? I thought they made em better back in the day!!
I think some of that smell may be squirrel poopoo.
