Well said Gilles.
Florprien all you can do is make your vehicle as accurate as possible and don't tell people it is something it isn't. It is amazing that you are even doing a Canadian vehicle. Most guys would be wanting to know if the US used them and mark them as such. If you look at the Dutch vehicles which are some of the best restored vehicles in the world, they are not 100% correct. They have to add certain lights etc to drive them on the road. They are still what they are, and people really enjoy watching them in parades. Unless you have a warehouse full of parts, like Dirk, or a field full of spare trucks, like the Hammond boys, you can only do what you can afford or find. In Normandy we saw a CCKW with a Weasel in the back and all I heard was "Wow, look at that!" No one ever said that they didn't think CCKW's ever carried Weasels. This is from people there with nicely restored vehicles. You efforts will be well received by anyone who sees the combination you have. I know most of us on MLU are waiting for photos of your work. Best of luck and get off the computer and get to work on the truck.
Cheers,
Barry
