unique wireless truck
I purchased a chev wireless truck a number of years back. The markings on the truck were a Prairie Command sheild and a Royal Canadian School of Artillery formation sign and battery markings on the doors. The truck was sitting on rims and tires whichI belive are from 25 pound feild guns. I have been able to purchase 2 wireless van bodies, new roof from a signals truck complete with round hatch, the two tool boxes for under the van body and located a replacement engine. Hopefully I will soon have time to start restoration.

Yes, they are certainly either 25pdr.Gun/howitzer or Limber wheels.
There are a few CMP's here in OZ with the same wheel conversion. I don't think that it is a military ok'd conversion but more of a convenience thing post WW2. Rick. BTW. Nice body.

Gord,
A very nice project; A few days ago I had the oppertunity to have a look at one of these at Dirk Leegwaters yard. Am I correct in assuming that the sheet metal of the Wireless body is Aluminium? Alex

The wireless van is clad with aluminium on a steel skelton and lined inside with 1/4 inch plywood. The better van body has no insides, which is probally a good thing as I will use the other van body as a pattern for the wood work. I do have some of the cabinets, the big item will be making the radio table and the folding steps.

2K1 Wireless
Yep, 2K1s they are.
How fortunate you are, Gord, to get these two beauties which are very good resto projects. As I'm sure you are fully aware, these types of bodies were sliced, diced or otherwise gotten rid of by the post war owners who wanted only a flat bed load bearing surface. Good luck, and keep us posted, from time to time, with your progress.
