Default Pictures of inside of 5/4 ton pod

Hi Rob,
Do you have any pictures of the inside of the pod? There is a group in Hamilton, Ontario that are trying to restore a rad van pod and are looking for reference pics.

I do have some of the installation instructions, which will vary on what model of SEV is in the box. The back of mine was a radio van, and I could take some shots if you want that. Remember though that mine is off a CUCV, so the layout may slightly differ from the earlier gas 5/4

Rob,

Tempting, but as it stands my next set of tires and rims will be of the 16" size. I was not happy with the 16.5 tires from STA.

Hi Rob,

I think any instructions and pics would be great. At least it would give them a starting point, even if the layout is not exa tly the same. Here is the link to the group's Facebook page that are doing the project. They have posted their request for help about 4-5 posts down.

I am not directly involved, but would be happy to relay any pics and info you post.

Dave

I'll snap some shots, but quite frankly the backs of these trucks were very modular. Quite often guys would get a better idea of what they wanted, rip out the furniture, and then the plywood furniture would start.

When the boxes were removed and refurbished, most of the same style original furniture, lighting and book cases were put back into the boxes for use with the LSVW fleet. The refurbishments were done by corrections Canada, a good source of captive labor.

At this point the boxes on the LSVWs are over 40 years old.

Thanks Rob,

It will be more than they have right now, so that will at least be a starting point.

Do you know if the 5/4 pod came from 1 CBG headquarters and signals squadron? I only ask because I know they did some custom renovations on the interior of their pods in the 1980s.

Mine came off a CUCV that would have been in Winnipeg. It had been painted white, so I suspect it was one of the ones that went to Africa or something in the mid 90s. Mine is fairly stock, although did suffer some minor missing pieces inside.

Customizing them was quite common, although with the LSVW fleet there came instructions to leave things alone.
