The reason they are using this truck is because they wanted something odd looking and Military..they had an older uniy mog (?) but the deal fell through, and they had to have the truck there by Friday so the Set Deck could "trick it out"..the truck will play on Monday..so there is no time to try to replace it...makes me sick.
I will see what I can do about parts..or if they will sell the remains..the remains may have to be shipped with a lot of the other set dressing to CA at the end of the show....you never know what they will keep and what they will get rid of. Dean |

The extra wire 5 I had and Pat Papworths C15A Wire 5 were both built on the same date, June 13th if i remember, My current C15A Wire % was built on July 20th. That's 3 trucks still in Canada built on the same day.

The body ID tag I have for my Wire5 is a thin (zinc alloy?) plate embossed with the body serial that was riveted to the front left corner of the body. facing forward, lower edge.
