Default just picked up a 76 Chev 5/4

Guys

I have just picked up a 76 Chev 5/4, saved from a salvage yard, currently a GP vehicle. Rear to be taken off as the floor is pretty much gone and I intend to replace with a CP box, which arrives in May.

Any recommendations as to the thread pattern to get for the truck, have looked at the STA site and there are a few options. Plan is mainly highway driving to and from events, not planning on bouncing around the field, did enough of that in the early 1980s.

Plan is to restore the box as an Artillery Command post, I have a few pics from my days in the CP and wondering if anyone has pics to possibly share as well as any leads on where I may be able to get some maps of Petawawa, Gagetown and Shilo to show as a working CP.

Also, ideas as to where I could find manuals and also colour codes and schemes?

Any and all advice gratefully accepted and faithfully applied. Restoring to its former glory...1979-1985 period. Now to remember the numbers that would have been on the doors and their dimensions.

Regards from Smiths Falls, Ontario
