Oh how I hate computer programs that try to anticipate what you are typing, and screw things up so much you lose your train of thought!

Two POW racks went under the rear corners of the 2K1, Robert. The left rear holds two cans: the rear most is the large Jerry Can, ahead of which and snugged up to the top is a 2 Gallon Water 'flimsy'. See Bill Gregg's "Vehicle Profiles No. 6 for a picture. This image also shows how the canvas mud flaps hang down from the racks.

On the right rear, a single Jerry Can was fitted in a rack. The racks are strap iron design and just wide enough to grip a full Jerry Can. Only one can will fit at the right rear without causing interference with the Gen Compartment exhaust muffler assembly.

Thank you for your good words Alex. I hope to drive the truck in the streets of Holland some day.I would use it to commemorate Canadian soldiers that fell in the Liberation of Holland during the day and as my camper at night

David you are a wealth of knowledge and i am very happy to have you as a reference. On that note , I am very happy to report have found a local source for diamond shaped steel grill .

Today drove into town with the truck ( 15 KM ) to a local welder's shop and ordered some steel plate and angle to fabricate the 2 side tool boxes and the 2 Jerrycan holders. Also, as David says ,
looking from the rear, on the left side there is also a Flimsy can tray in front of the Jerrycan holder.

Just to be sure here is a picture of some of my Canadian / British Jerrycans . Wich one are you refering to as a Flimsy please David ?

On my way back , took a detour and waved back at some ladies strolling on the sidewalk that looked at me on the right side of the truck in amazement.

Thanks for following this tread . Cheers.

David.

Do you know if Reg's Wireless Truck is the one originally restored by Don Perry?

Robert.

My reference for 'Flimsy' is the standard GSW made 2-Gallon POW can.

When sizing your rack for the Jerry Can, remember a full Jerry Can should just slide in and an empty one be ever so loose. The fit should not be sloppy enough for the can to bang back and forth in the rack.

Also, don't forget you will need the two adapter plates for mounting the two steel tool bins at the front bottom sides of the Wireless Box.
