I just painted them red from paint I had. I seem to remember a period red was called signal red.

I finally had some time to sort out all the seats for the truck. It take a total of five. Two in the cab and three in the back. I’ll be using the raised bases for up front.

It was interesting to find some of the original paint colour on removing a couple of parts. Also the grey primer was a nice touch.

I also had to replace one of the seat pans due to smoke rust holes. Some quick work with a Zip disk and the welder fixed things up.

Lastly I installed the proper knurled nut on the Chorehorse weather shield.

Interesting about the primer, Jordan.

When I stripped down the seats in my 1944 WIRE-5, I found the grey primer on the very same bits. It was only after that I started seeing it on other components of the truck.

I never did figure out if it was due to parts coming in from outside suppliers that could only get hold of grey primers, or if all the parts were GM made and they were allocating grey primer to smaller items for some reason.

Freshly back from the sandblasters. Now just to finish up the pile of small bits and pieces.
