Here we have the NOS MB/ GPW trailer socket in it’s place on the trailer frame facing sideways . It’s a perfect fit , even the four holes are pre drilled for the bolts . Only problem is if installed this way the trailer plug is facing sideways when inserted . An invitation to have it ripped out . I surmise that seeing this , someone at Army design woke up and suggested it be installed facing rearward . I Will illustrate in the next insert ... more to follow ...

traîler socket facing rearward
Here , this what i mean . The pictures from the manual posted by Jordan shows something on the left side. Because of the angle and it’s black & white we vaguely make it out . My suggestion is the trailer socket was put on a bracket on the left
facing the rear to plug the following trailer in a train , if they were so employed . I remain to see Canadian pictures of this ... Mystery solved , i think . What do you think Jordan ? Anyone else ?

The socket goes where you had it in the first picture down in the frame. It’s way more protected there then where you have it in the second picture. Also keep in mind the body as an assembly is removable from the frame and all of the wiring is located inside the frame.

Really nice work!
I am in the process of restoring a 10 CWT CDN trailer with a wooden cargo bed. It was quite original when I got it but the wood was mostly rotten and it have a few rust issues. Only missing part is the lunette. Any chance you know of any spare lunetts for the 10 CWT? best regards Frank..

10 Cwt trailer
Thanks Jordan & Ed . That’s where it will go . As far as an extra lunette sorry Frank i don’t have one but they can be reproduced with a bantam / M101 lunette is my guess . Here we have the original harness . I will restore it with new wire and NOS lights and socket .
