Default tail light, stop light and axle light

tail lights are red
axle light is white (1)
stop light is red ( 1) RH only
tail light (1) LH and (1) RH

Not sure I like the 1940 wiring as it does not show the axle light

fig 121 serial 2203 looks like 12 cab wiring and fig 122 looks like 13 cab

three terminal 3 position switch on dash
1- upper postion tail lights both RH and LH ON and axle light OFF
2- power center
3- lower postion axle light ON and tail lights off

on RH rear (outer) is the tail light red and (inner) is the stop light red
on LH rear is one tail light red (outer)

axle light is white

two terminal 2 position switch on dash for brake lights
up is ON brake lights
down is OFF brake lights

Default cab and Battery Box

Some one will have to confirm this I think the holes are for the cable or cables for the radio equipment in the cargo box ? My truck had the same set up along with the screw holes around the rear window of the cab, I believe these where for attachment of the canvas comunications duct from cargo box to cab on radio trucks ?

Default Pattern 12 C60L `41 has same hole

Hi

My 1941 Pattern 12 C60L has the same hole in the same location on the back of the cab directly behind the battery box. So I suspect it was a standard hole regardless of the body or use of the truck. The picture below is of the back of my cap before I re-fabricated the back of the cab. All the measurements were so I could reproduce them on the new back panel. The other picture shows the hole from the inside.

The old cab back is like all sheet metal I've replace stored away for future reference in the barn.

Your picture made me go out to the barn to check and I discovered that though I had put all the small attachment holes in the new skin I failed to punch the hole in question either in the back of the cab or the battery box, so I will have to add those to my list of things to do on the truck.
