Parts were all back from the sandblasters yesterday. Today I finished off the two bins. These are originals for the Wire3 that were found in Northern Manitoba. Two of the hinges needed replacing and my father in law came to the rescue with a bunch of identical hinges. Parts were then given the POR treatment and priming. Another day they will get the final colour.

Today was another painting day before the dark clouds rolled in and the temperature dropped.

Well the two original wire-3 stowage bins that came from Northern Manitoba are finally restored and installed in the truck. I also pulled out a few NOS Corbin pad locks to go on the bins. They match the original photo nicely.

Out of curiosity, Jordan, are those Corbin Cabinet Lock Company keys and locks from Belleville, Ontario, and if so, what is the Key Code stamped into the keys?

Yes they are. This box is a full set of ten matched locks each with their own key. They also have the chain on them. I’ve also got a few other matched ones.
