1944 C-15A-Wire-5 Restoration

[David Dunlop]

For what it is worth, Robert, your Wire-5 Body was designed with two racks (one at each rear corner behind the wheel wells) for storage of the British 5-gallon Jerry Can. The racks were oriented for access from the sides, each holding just one Jerry Can. The can was slid into the rack on it's back side with the spout at the top and a diagonal strap of bar iron was swung down across the top of the Jerry Can to secure it in place. On the inside face of the left Jerry Can rack (facing the wheel), was a smaller bracket intended to hold a 1-gallon GWS flimsy containing oil.
