15-CWT, 2K1, WIRE 5 Body Details

[David Dunlop]

Sorry guys. Just found some more boring stuff related to the electrical interference problems encountered from the engine ignition system in the Chev HUW initially, and how it was solved. I drag it in here as it precedes development of the 15-cwt 2K1 and the items developed for the C8A HUW were actually incorporated into the production of the 15-CWT, 2K1, WIRE 5 Vehicles. If you have the original Cab Assembly for a WIRE 5, you will see the factory installed mount for the ignition coil, spanning the opening just below and back of the hood hinge line. The coil was placed there, in it's own little shielded box, from it's normal position right side of the engine above the distributor because of the shielding boxes that were installed over the distributor and spark plugs.

I have the instructions for all this shielding work, complete with parts list and illustrations. It's 9 pages and if you are interested, let me know and I will scan it in and post for you. Done up properly, these 2K1's were pretty tight little suckers electronically!

Before I forget. I think you had asked earlier if the 2K1's were ever heated. The short answer is , no. However. There is a 2K2 Wireless Body. Never ever seen one, but apparently it is virtually identical to the 2K1, with the exception of the addition of an electric heater. I have no idea where it was located, but it had two separate blowers, one for heat and the second for air circulation and was wired into the panel box with the addition of another fuse in the No. 6 Fuse Position.

David,

You are a champion of information.

Thank-you very much .

My box will have heat you can be sure of that.

The power generated by the period Onan or it's 110VAC modern equivalent will be put to good use, you can believe me.

You are the best source we have had yet on this most interesting discussion.

You have seen 50 of these boxes , more than most i suggest.
