Default Inspiration

Rob,

Please continue with the updates and particularly the pictures. It is a great source of inspiration for those of us who have just started on the path to a restoration project.

A great piece of history that you have brought back to life.

Peter

Are you looking at the 3 beehive lamps sometimes called Identification lamps, indicating a larger vehicle (>80" wide)? Similar lamps were retrofitted to My M135 and I have seen the remnants on CMPs picked up. Normally they would be added when the truck was civil registered but my M135 had never been civilianized so DND must have been adding these lamps at some time.

The CMP in the background also has this 3-light fixture.

Many years ago at Princess Auto in Winnipeg, they had a late Chev Cab 13, 15-cwt Wireless truck sitting on it's frame in a field to the left of the front of the old Quonset hut building John used to work out of. It had been a traffic accident write off direct from the Army and it also had one of those 'clearance' lamps mounted, but not to the leading edge of the roof, as those in this photo appear to be. The lamps at Princess were mounted on top of the front edge of the roof, lamps pointing upwards.

David
