How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

Picked up the parts yesterday and spent most of the afternoon painting. Today I finished the painting and got all the bins installed. I managed to time my painting of POR and the SCC2 paint so that I could spray the SCC2 directly on the almost cured POR. I find the topcoat of paint really bonds to the POR and you get a very strong paint.

All of the bins painted and installed really changes the look of the truck. I like it

I also worked on my side and tail lights. All new wiring as I won’t use original 75 year old wiring on the truck. The socket bases were new made and they worked perfectly for installing the braided shielding. Lastly I found one of the original blackout disks that was fitted to the side marker lights. As if these lights didn’t give off much light to begin with.

Things are moving along nicely. The antenna mounts have been mounted to the roof. It’s odd punching a bunch of holes in the canvas. I also got the convoy light rebuilt.

Here is the truck as it stands now. I really like the look of the 2 gallon POL can carrier mounted at the front end of the box.
