The modified American tail lights were then considered a good way of fitting indicators but still being military and might suggest an older restoration.

Great truck for Normandy !

Thanks David,
I've just added the Jeep lights to give a little more illumination.
I was interested to find the markings today, but am not saying they are original...although that would be good.

Every HUP photo I can find seen has the serial numbers CZ42*****, so I am wary of a CZ39*****
