Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

That's beautiful!

Going on with a lot of small issues

First clean up the wiring at the steering column. We don't install the cover as we wait on the horn relais.



The speaker is now complete with the control lamp. We need to customize a cable with the correct connectors between cb radio and speaker to got it work







Going on with the registration plates of roadlicence for the civilian trailer hitch which we removed for rebuild



Also add the registration plate of the truck



Without this no roadregistration in Germany possible



The shipping data plate is not mandatory for roadregistration but it is necessary to have a high score in the oldtimer appraisel



This is the old mirrorglass. We glue new mirrorglasses in





Got today the cable for the radio antenna. The cable is with 20 cm around 5 cm to short for installation on our radio position



So we can finish the radio next weekend.

Coming along nicely! Good Morning.

Thanks and Good evening
It is much more effort as expected but we like what we do.
Find out i can connect the cb radio complete on speaker and the handset. The original plug was available and i ordered immediately before it is out of stock. We will miss than the freehand function but i am sure i have on long trips always a codriver who can use the cb while i am driving
I ordered Ral 3009 oxidred spray for refreshing the plastic airvents. Seems match as best as possible the original "bordeau". We will test it before use on the original parts

The weekend is "save"
Next goodies delivered



I have a lot of new relais in the shop but none fit. You use 3pin relais. We use here 4pin relais for the horn and it fit in different "connectors". So i need to order the correct one.



The cable for the handset which need to be customize with a plug for the cb radio instead the long one.



I am curious how the paint will come out



And finally the new screws for the cab in stainless steel black
I missed to notice that include the cabscrews set also all be which are visible. I will exchange all the blinky spots on dashboard, doorcover, sunvisors... i can't exchange all blinkys in the cab but the most

The mirrors come out perfect and the black screws look much better







I opened the cableplug for remove it



The day ended with detecting an electric failure. The horn have always power. I start on the steering column. All switches and connection work correct.
Next week i will continue follow the wiring to the horn to find the failure. I have no clue where, we call it "Kurzschluss" translator said short circuit could be located. There should nowhere be such issue. Well i will figure it out sooner or later .... in such projects be always unexpected things. Who don't want deal with this should not go in such projects.
