Looks like you'll need an Atari bucket like so:
Only know this because the Beast has two, and your bucket cutout in the cab looks just like the Beast's.
yotsuya:
Interesting cutout there. Most over/under doors I've seen have a full enclosure for the bucket.

Interesting, thanks I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

I've decided I'm going to use Electro-magicalness to clean up any rusty or corroded metal bits from the cab and then repaint them. This is more for my own education as I have never used a proper spray gun or done any electro-cleaning before so I'm quite excited to give it all a try.
Going to use a plastic planter 30"x8"x7" as my bath, line the edges inside with plastic gutter shielding to prevent any shorting between my sacrificial metal and my pieces that are being treated. Some cheap steel rods dotted around the edges between the bin edge and the gutter shield, secured with little 2" clamps above the solution line, daisy chained together for the positive anode. Then I'll just dump in the old Arm & Hammer cleaning soda solution and suspend the pieces to be treated in it from the negative anode using a car battery charger for my 12v DC current.
I can pick up an old Binks spray gun for $25 on CL and there's always someone selling or trading a compressor which is something I have been meaning to pick up for a long time. I'll post pics of course when I do all this, just getting it all out of my head and down here to stay organized.
