Default A marriage made in Canada!

Thanks to Jim Watkins and John Hawthorne for the help and a place to unload work on and load my newly aquired wire 5 box.
The old box was a Wire 5 floor that I duplicated 20 years ago in anticipation of restoring the chicken coop I had. I really wanted to get on the road back in 2004 and fabbed up the wooden structure over a weekend and outfitted it with benches and a comfortable bed. It proved it's worth over the years and Ive spent a lot of nights in the back and the truck has been all over and on many convoys. I'll store that box for another project further down the line.
I worked on the front of the wireless box primarily to get it ready to put on the truck and bring it home, nice place out there but it's an hour away in traffic and the convenience of home was the goal.
So yesterday we swapped it off, got the new one on, hooked up the taillights and licence plate and brought it all home. More to come but the priority is getting it externally presentable for displays and drives.

Always nice when a plan comes to fruition, even if it takes decades. Congrats.
