That's a nice truck you've got there. That original wireless box is hard to come by. I lucked out finding one for my C8. If you have any problems just ask and I'll try to help out. Most of the info I've accumulated on the C8 is already posted on the forum somewhere.

Thanks guys!
@ David. I am very happy with the box indeed. At first I thought I needed to make a new one from scratch, but after taking a closer look I found out that half of it, or more, can be saved. Even the original step is there! I looked at your posts regarding the C8 over and over again and I am sure I will come up with questions when I start the restoration. @ Phil. I sure hope my girlfriend isn't reading this post  . By the way, your website is a great source for info! @ Andrew. Good luck with the one on Ebay! @ Arjan. Yes, I finally decided to join you guys in the MV world. @ Hanno. Yes, you should really come and get a beer when we've move house and when the Chev is at it's new home.  Alex

Alex, It shouldn't be too hard to change the sheetmetal on the box. That cast step is hard to find. The step under the rear of the box is a simple piece of bent up flat iron. It's the first style box too with the taillight on one side only and that rubber battery hold down strap by the endgate. Is that strap made of solid moulded rubber? It's the first one I've seen a picture of. It also has the early style non-adjustable mirror arms.
