NOS shifter plate installed. It’s almost too nice to use.

I also installed the canvas hip ring cover. I put in some wooden strips for the stiffeners. I’ve got to make the metal retaining strip that goes up on the roof. Not too sure how I’ll bend it lengthwise but I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
Lastly I’m trying to find the proper maximum allowable weight for the truck. The original is from a C60. I may just go with a standard 15cwt truck.

Thanks Harry
Finally finished up the two canvas shifter boots for the cab. I used the proper government black snaps from DOT.

Another round of canvas. This time the windshield flaps that join to the side curtains.

One of the harder to find accessories for a Wireless truck. The Charging Board NoC5. I’m very glad I bought this years ago when I first got the truck. The metal mount is just speculation as I do not have any clear pictures of it for the Wire3 layout. I can’t wait to get it all wired up

Thanks Bob
I learned to double clutch years ago and it’s always stuck with me. I doubt the boot will make a difference. Lol Yes I just picked it up yesterday. This was my first piece I made on it and it went very well. I had to turn the motor speed down as how the factory set it up I was going to loose some fingers. This is a true industrial production machine made for heavy duty canvas and such.

In my spare moments I had today, I made up some stencils to match the original markings that I found on the NOS canvas. I also used the part number as found in the parts manual.
I’m quite happy how this little detail came out and looks.
