That's a flash back in time. Not many of those guys are with us sadly , I see Dave Brown from the AMVCS was there ? Is that rare Morris Commercial still around , it looks like a CD model - How did it get to Canada ?

Gents,

Here is what i was doing today.

You collectively answered most of my questions.

All the metal shelves should be painted white.

What's the consensus on the metal black out curtain holders/frames after seeing the posted pictures by Goeff , Phill and Rob ?

Many thanks.

Thanks for the wonderful pictures of the Shilo model.

?????? in the Shilo model the right inside is different than the Oshawa model.... Oshawa has a bare no 5 charging panel...... is the charging panel covered in the white box in the Shilo model????

Can we have a picture of that white box open???? or the metal cabinet for the chore horse unit.

Or is the charging panel part of the metal shelf unit in the RH corner???

Asking all these questions because Grant, from the Barn, will be tackling a radio box in the future and we are very interested in what is what!!!!

Cheers

Cheers for Bob Carrière.

Let's see inside that white box and the gen compartment Rob. Please.

Good questions Bob.

I challenge Grant from the Barn to show his truck in Oshawa right besides mine and the Ontario Regiment's in the near future.

Then we could parade them in town.

Cheers.

Factory fresh blackout curtain frames are the same colour as the exterior of the wireless box.

David,

Just like the ones in Rob's pictures ?

Army green or whatever then ?

( i do not want to start a discussion about ww2 truck colour )

First of all, I won't swear to all the interior of the truck being correct. I think it was a base maintenance or a downtown job for the restoration, and there is a little bit of poetic license on the cab and frame of the truck. Hopefullly whomever restored the box made a consensus of the three boxes that were in Shilo. We still have two boxes out in the dustbowl that are untouched but partially stripped. We are not inundated with snow here at this point, so it might be possible for me to go to the dustbowl and snap some shots there as well. Thankfully the wasps and hornets have called it a year.....I seem to get stung in that compound a lot. And if it's not the wasps and hornets, then it is the ample poison ivy that is also in that location.

I'll climb into the back of the van tomorrow and get some shots of that charging panel etc.

Man.

Thanks.

Don't forget the blackout curtain frames..
