Australian M816 wrecker build.

[Howard Smith]

<<I am very vague on the 816 tail light arrangements.
I think the big M series stop light was used..........And may be direction indicator/tail light from a Australian International truck fitted as a extra light either side.>>
Yeah - I am trying to figure out the logic with the regs and the spare stop lamps.....

<<Yes Phil lives only a short distance away with his modified GMC.
I have not spoken to him in a very long time.
I do see him giving his truck a run every now and then to keep it a live and road worthy.>>
So glad that you know him - he's been a fantastic source of info for my build - and the stories he has too!!!

<<I think a Aussie fitment was also a amber clearance light near the mirrors and I think there was a amber direction indicator light ...........A long thin thing high up on the cabin somewhere too.>>

I do need to try and locate a pair of the long cab side direction indicators - though I am going to hate mounting them through the soft top!
The mirror ones appear to just be little round amber lamps.
