HK Cement Mixer - Common Body Details
All
  • Part and Tool # are located on the underside of the rear deck behind the cab/spin post.
  • Bodies came from two Tools, while there are several differences on all sides, to tell them apart from the outside it's easiest to flip them over and look at circles (ejector pin marks) on the underside of the front of the cab:
Tool #1 - Hong Kong
  • Left Ejector Pin Circle: All the way on the left.
  • There are also some differences in the shapes of the 3 squares on either side of the bodies.
Tool #2 - Hong Kong
  • Left Ejector Pin Circle: Spaced the same as the one on the right
  • ??? still need to determine if both of these bodies were used until the end of the run.
