Those do look to be a nice fitting tire Rob. My next move will be to get the proper 9.00 - 16 bar grips though. The current Michelin tires will get me through until the truck is complete and on the road. Once the border opens up, Ill be able to make a run to the US to avoid the expensive shipping in to Canada. Also it would be nice if our dollar strengthens a bit. The exchange rate adds a further sting.

Rob, if you get a chance post a few more photos of that M37 with the shelter. I have the same shelter.

A few hours of progress today. A larger workspace would be nice.

Cab tub progress... Well the hard part of painting the tub is complete. There are some very hard to get areas on these tubs. Mostly due to the seat boxes creating some narrow spaces and difficult angles to shoot paint. Having one of the small paint guns sure helps.

I’m definitely not a sign painter, and grossly lacking in artistic talent, but rather than use vinyl decals I wanted to have hand painted markings on this truck. I’m marking this truck to represent the regular force Canadian Black Watch from the 1950’s and 60’s. Unfortunately the two Black Watch regular force battalions were disbanded by Trudeau in July 1970.
Thanks to some guidance fro Rob L, I got the proper sign lettering paint and took a stab at my first unit sign. It’s a bit choppy, but from a few feet away, it looks ok. I still like it better than “perfect” vinyl decals. I may have my son do the golden maple leaf, as he is more talented with a paint brush. More to follow on that... Here is what I have done so far:
