Reunited at last .Now that the box has a good roof and good floor it was time to reunite it with the truck . It will be easier to move it in and out of the garage and take less room than when they were seperated .

Need a spare tire to fill that big hole on the side . Next a ladder to climb on the roof , Jerrican holders and tools & chain lockers for the underside . That will be it for this summer , i am flying across Canada again in August . Will try to see my MLU friends along the way . At least those living near an airport . Next winter i will do the interior finishing of the box .Meanwhile i will be checking for more original parts for this restoration . Give me a heads up if you find / have anything you are willing to sell / trade . Cheers for now .

Default time for a ladder

Fitted nicely the driver compartment doors , anchored the box tightly to the truck frame and built a roof ladder today.
