Today was a sheet metal kind of day. Yesterday I picked up an order of sheet metal for making the remaining storage that go in the back of the truck. Today I started in on making the two smaller vertical bins. They turned out rather nicly and as an added bonus my welding matches the wartime welding rather well. I’ll be farming out the large bin side pieces as at 54” long it’s a bit much for the 36” brake from Princess Auto.

By any chance are you recording measurements or making any drawings of the boxes Jordan? I will have to fabricate all the boxes for mine when I get to the bed.

It's those small details that make your project stand out. Great to see the business end of the truck coming back to life.

Lots of progress today. I picked up the sheet metal from the shop today. They did all the heavy bending for me since I’m limited by the size of my break. I had made the end panels last week already. So today’s task was to do a fitting and then welding everything up. It’s looking more and more like the wartime photos.

Lastly I got the radio battery trays installed. They are removable just like the radio table.

Nice bit of progress there, Jordan! Has your lovely Wife been singing Vera Lynn songs to you in the background while you work?

Haha David, I just told her that and she started to sing We”ll meet again..don’t know when...don’t know how....”. Yes I’m a lucky guy. She’s a keeper.
Anyway back to the truck. It was another productive day. The doors were finished for the two smaller forward bins. Hinges and the lock tabs were welded on.
