Roof handrails and antennae brush guards
The Wire 5 truck was a well tought out design. Details such as handrails to safely access the roof top antennae and bruch guards attest to the amount of time and effort spent on the design.
I had access to one of each originals of the handrails and brush guards thanks to friend Reg in Saint Albert / Edmonton. Here is the final product to be installed shortly.

1 Gal oil can holder
Very few pictures exist of this 1 Gal oil can holder installed in front of the left side Jerry can holder on the wire -5 truck. I was made aware of it thanks to a picture sent by Rob L. a while back.

Looks good. The 1gal holder looks to be the same as mine just mounted differently.

Is that your complete set of guard rails for your roof, Robert?
It looks like you have too many short horizontal sets and are missing the intermediate sized round ones with the horizontal extensions that protect the antenna chimneys. If you try mounting the horizontal ones up beside the chimneys, you will find they are far too low to do any good. David

Roof guardrails
Thanks for your good words Jordan .
David D. you are right. I was serving 6000 KM from home and forgot about the round brushguards that go in the front of the box on both sides of the chimneys.I will be working on that thanks. But my problem is worse . I found the holes for some kind of bolt to hold down the guardrails and brushguards but have no clue what fits in there . I have included a picture. Q. What kinda bolt goes in there ? I have tried stove bolts and wood screws in 1/4, 3/8 and 5/8 and no joy.
