Mud flaps - as per original design
I have been researching the issue of the Jerry can holders and the mudflaps for a while now .
The definite answer came from the picture posted a few months ago by Rob Love of Shilo.
The 2K1 body Wireless 5 van came with two Jerry can holders, one on each side and the mudflaps were bolted on the face of the holder behind the tires . It is only about half the size of a regular CMP mudflap because the Jerry can holder is quite large and acts as a mud flap already.
Here are a few views of my installation. To the best of my knowledge it conforms to original.
I have to work on my convoy , brake and position lights now.
In the holders , i have two original wartime British 5 Gal Jerry-cans.
In the text description of the 2K1 body we read that on the left side , there is a 1 Gal oil can support or holder in front of the 5 Gal Jerry can holder. I have yet to see a picture of that . Anyone can help ?
I found an original 1944 dated RCA Victor military speaker box recently. Re-wired it plugged it to a hidden modern multi-media player . It sounds great with the original carbon-magnet speaker. You see it on the generator door . I installed it there for now. Entertaining when working on the truck.
In the rear , we see the neatly stored original thanks to Reg Hodgson two step ladder in the rails under the floor . We also see the towing attachment.
The modern position, running and turn lights are there in an effort to stay alive on the modern fast traveled roads of today.
