Thank you all for the compliments. I’ve watched so many on this forum get their vehicles restored and take them for a drive. It’s nice to finally be n that “group”.

Back to the nitty gritty.

This is part of the ignition suppression system on the truck. It was to done to reduce any electrical interference during the use of the radio set. I replaced the wires with new made wire that is done to copy the period wiring. The woven metal braid shielding on the wires is original but was carefully removed from the original wires and then crimped back in place using the original crimps. These two wires attach to the coil and then down to the distributor. The internals of the box were in very good shape. I only removed and cleaned up the contact points under the two screws. I also replaced the nuts and washers on the external stud as the originals were badly rusted.

I also installed the two metal “mud flaps”. I’m not too sure if the canvas mud flaps were also installed or is these were used in their place.
