I came across these two photos on a Facebook group last night. They are courtesy of Norm Prestage. His late father took them while serving in the Sig det, Highland Bn, 27 Cnd Inf Bde, Hannover in 1952.

Its the first time I have come across actual pictures of the Wire-3 while in use.

I was kind of pleasantly surprised when those pictures showed up over there. It is a shame there isn't more.

I know. Like inside the back of the truck with the tail gate down and good lighting. I'd probably be able to see the hens teeth from the chicken dinner the crew had the night before too.

I would like to see some better pictures or even installation instructions for the chorehorse on the step. As mine is installed the gas tank won't fit back on.

Along with some cargo bed pictures to see the table and forward storage for the batteries.
