1944 C-15A-Wire-5 Restoration

[Robert Bergeron]

Richard, it could not of happened without your vision and wisdom in seeing the potential in an abandoned leaky rusted out dog house and the hard and dedicated work of you and your team.

You are welcome anytime .


Cheers.

Fitting of the C-5 Canadian charging panel under the righ rear window .

There is still room for the bus bar , cables and outlet.

When the small adjustment piece of wood is removed under the panel there will be ample room to pass the bus bar and electrical conduits.

Next week, ceiling lights.

Friends,

This is my basis for placing the c-5 charging panel under the right rear window of the box.

The shot is of my box before restoration. The picture was taken by my friend Richard when he found it in a scrap yard , being used as a dog house.

I see the shadow of a C-5 charging panel under the window.

It is the best evidence i have found to date.

Cheers.

For what it is worth, Robert, your Wire-5 Body was designed with two racks (one at each rear corner behind the wheel wells) for storage of the British 5-gallon Jerry Can. The racks were oriented for access from the sides, each holding just one Jerry Can. The can was slid into the rack on it's back side with the spout at the top and a diagonal strap of bar iron was swung down across the top of the Jerry Can to secure it in place. On the inside face of the left Jerry Can rack (facing the wheel), was a smaller bracket intended to hold a 1-gallon GWS flimsy containing oil.

Thanks David. I will be working on that this summer.

It will make a nice addition.

How about the tool boxes , Steel or wooden ?
