Jordan. I think that WIRE 3 of Brian's was at Bill Gregg's Conference and I recall seeing an antenna stowed under one side of the box, or at the very bottom edge of one of the sides. Maybe there is a photo of it at the Conference in someone's files.

Here is something that is normally not seen to often as it is hidden away on the engine. A complete wireless suppression kit for a truck equipped with a wireless set.

Included in this is a cover for the spark plugs, distributor and the coil. The coil was also moved to just behind the top of the radiator. All and all this was a pretty complete and NOS set of parts.

That’s a nice find, Jordan. I bought several NOS kits of these from Levy’s years ago. I still have the installation instructions somewhere and might have posted a copy of them on the forum a year or so back.

Another mystery solved. The Wire-3 seat risers. These appear to be similar to the early 8cwt wireless truck seat risers with a difference in the hole location. They use the same stamped knobs as the Wire-3 table for a "quick release". The chains are brazed/soldiered on.

Default Dimension please...

Hi Jordan

Curious about the rise in the rear and the front floor bracket. I have one from a Ford F15 but the height seems different....almost double I think.

Easy enough to replicate form flat stock. I have seen some similar stamped knobs available on Ebay recently.... but ....duh!!!!! did not save the site.

These seat risers were actually found via a posting on Facebook from a seller in Italy. They went to the Czech Republic with the seats I was very fortunate to have been able to work out with that buyer to get just the risers. They've traveled more then I have. But I'm extremely grateful.

Anyway onto the measuring. These pictures are from the original seller in Italy.
