Default Final colour tool boxes and jerrycan holders

Back in the truck hangar and out of the aircraft hangars for a while.

Feels nice to be reunited with my CMP trucks . Life is not the same without them.

Today , gave the tool boxes and jerrycan holders a final coat of OD colour.

Friends,

Default paint job

Thank you for your good words Lance.

It would be nice if i could make it to Holland with the truck.

Today i ordered the angled steel and tubes to start the fabrication of the wireless table .

I painted the inside of the tool boxes and the jerrycan holders OD Green.

Inside this toolbox i will store my portable CMP toolbox with all the specific CMP tools and the trouble lamp. A gallon of coolant fluid would be handy also.

Also painted the diamond shaped steel grills for the generator compartment.

Inside the box i installed a temporary equipment rack on the rear wall.

Looking for the plans or sketch and measurements for the original.

In said rack we see some of the equipment that would be carried : Rolls of field telephone wire for the phones and radio remote. Extension cable for the wireless set headset and a satchel with extra headsets , guy ropes for the vertical antennae . A first aid kit and a canvas cover for the wireless set when taken outside the box.The leather bag is canadian specific and is for the vertical antennae accessories.Some instruction books on the wireless set and remote unit. A piece of hemp rope for the penthouse tent .

Default more work

Other toolbox painted OD on the inside.

Inside this toolbox will be stored a few 1 Gal oil cans and the chains you see mounted on the rear tires.

An hydraulic jack with wooden support board should also nicely fit in here and be quite usefull in the event of a flat tire.
