welcome aboard. as far as the pictures go i find that i have to resize them to be able to post them. is your truck currently restored or is in the works? this a great site for info on war time fords. and they treat us guys with a slightly different shade of tan paint really well.

here's some from this past years Collings foundation. if you go to you tube and look for "battle for the air field 2016" you can see some footage of the truck in 'action'. if you do go note that i'm actually driving the Hetzer and one of my friends is driving the truck. lol. the first pict is of the truck and a PAK 184r (captured russian anti tank gun 45mm), parked next to the flak 36 88mm and last looking thru the driver periscope of the Hetzer at the 41. it's weird watching someone else drive your truck.

here's a few of the interior. and yes that a 6 volt lighter in the dash. after i painted the cab i noticed that i forgot to fill in some of the dash holes.(this truck was a firetruck in it's former life) when i saw the gaping 1" hole in the dash i was mad at myself for missing it. not really sure what i was going to do with it. i happen to be a a friends house and he was cleaning out a bunch of 6 volt stuff light bulbs, regulators, etc. then he ask's me if i need a dash lighter in 6 volt. i personally don't smoke but it was a perfect fit for the hole. the other holes will be for a map light on the dash. restored the steering wheel with epoxy. i'll get a better picture of the interior with the front seat in it.

Default Trouble light......

Don't forget that with the proper adapter your lighter socket can be a source of power for a trouble light.

Very nice job on the truck and the steering wheel.
