Most Studebaker US6s in Australian Army service were fitted with an elaborate mechanical signal device that mounted across the top of the scuttle in front of the windshield. The main tubular support sat on two shaped wooden blocks and was secured to the truck with a dozen bolts. Further support was provided by a fabricated bracket that bolted through the bodywork forward of the r/h door. All of this along with the control box screwed down onto the top of the dash and holes to get the cable from inside to outside makes for a hell of a mess to tidy up and get the truck back to original. Especially so as the kit (which came as a complete set in a wooden box) was often very roughly installed.
