Sorry about the colour as that was the closest match that I could find If you want to see what our truck looked like when we got it, go to our web site, Comox Air Force Museum and under vehicles it's at the bottom

The truck was recovered from a gold mine, Boulder City, fourty miles inland to the east from Dease Lake. It was a great find for us as it had RCAF Comox on the door, so we think it was here during the war.
The truck was in great shape for it's age and still sat on the original tires with the RCAF brand in the side walls of the tires. It's an REL truck so we think it was here for base radar.
We have finished so far, a complete retore on the frame and engine and when we go back to the Skunk Works for the fall and winter season the cab floor will be put back on and we can start to rewire it.
TER engine rebuilders restored the original 216 engine and it runs great, so we have kept the same block, that has that important serial number.
Canmilair in London Ont. are the ones that have reproduced the decals for the switch plates and have also reproduced the decals for the speedometer face plate and the odometer wheels, still have not finished it yet, so no pictures.
I'm sure if you contact Bill he will be happy to supply you or anyone else with his great products.
I would also like to thank Barry Churcher, small drive shaft and Derk Leegwater, front wheel cylinders for their help, finding some of the missing parts
