Default Chev C-15A Wire 5

Thank-you Both David and Rob.

A most fascinating variant of the CMP to say the least !

So now we know pretty much where the wires run and the batteries stand.

We know pretty much what equipment was carried , including masts, antennae rods .

Blackout switches and curtains , lights, ventilators , windows.

Q. Was there ever a Onan generator version during WW2 ?

Q. Was there another radio than the WS 19 used during WW2 ?

Basic and fundamental questions. Do we have references ?

Robert.

Has the Wiring Diagram on the inside of the panel box door survived in your truck? On many of the boxes I have seen, this diagram was either badly torn, badly stained, painted over or missing completely.

David,

The %?&*%$%? door is missing ... all the rest is there.

Why did someone feel the urge to tear off the darn generator compartment door and keep everything else ?

Sorry Robert.

I should have said the small white fuse box mounted on the right side wall between the two windows. It should have the Wiring Diagram on the inside of the door.

Default Map table location

Gents,

This nice picture by 8th Hussard shows where the map table would go.

Just underneath the 12 VDC power outlet with the little door with thumbhole in it.

I suggest the tent would extend from the roof lateraly over this workstation.

We see very well the ladder, mast , mudflaps, spare tire .
