I am gonna throw something in here (FYI) which isn't related to install but operation on the highway..
For those that haven't taken the tow truck endorcement - either full CDL or 1ton pickup size, they may not know that there are real regulations for flashing orange (inc rotating beacons)...
Knowing John for many years, it's with some confidence that I would say these are originally equipped. I have had a lot of experience with the later A1 (assisted in restoration of one and touring Normandy for the 50th in it before coming to the States) and have seen Johns a few times - all the...
Yes - got all that - but mine aren't yellow, my truck is tan (desert) and I have green numbers but the top lock plate is green one side and tan the other - I need one of them to have the red "C"... but green to match the numbers? ... and should the back of the "C" be plain green to match the...
I think I have one of these - probably don't need it - JIC anyone see's this posting and decides to go looking. Not really a "for sale" listing (which would mean this post is in the wrong place) - thought I'd short circuit things...
Ordered a set just for the "C" - like you say - easier than trying to get the stencilling cut. BUT, question for the enlightened masses:
"All numbers to replace the numbers on both side of each plate and the red "C" for the holder." says the blurb in the Delta Team Decals listing. But the "C"...

"Back in the day", ie., WWII, it was common practice for wreckers to be disguised as GS cargo trucks in convoys as they were high valued targets for straffing attacks. Bows and tilts (hoops and canvas) were carred for such occasions.
Also they wouldn't run as 'tail end charlie' which is the...
Post Findlay '21 & M870A1:-
Must have measured all 60+ on site, found the only one that was 1 1/4" (&1") with hex hole... Fortunately I have a load of crow bars kicking around - one was 3/4" hex so it got decapitated. (Good-older ones are octagonal)
Got a pair of the 400mm deliniator plates...

20 ton bottle jack [USA] (I have 2) - Bii for M916 ....... $75

ARR Cadillac ISU 60/90 container shelf bracket clips - go in slotted track to hold shelves ...... $18/set of 4 *
Transfer box lever extension - M809 series for easy splitting of gears...
I picked up one with my 'loaded' 1500 Ram work truck - towed it home (15 miles maybe) at no more than 45 on a divided 4 lane, no real hills. It did not like going over 45, started to misbehave so had to slow back down. Had no real maneuvering issues, but it aggressively took up any slack in the...
Apparently in Apr of 1919, British 'Whippet' tanks were touring upstate NY, drumming up support for Victory Liberty Loan bonds.
Shame about the typo ... If anyone is interested, I can try better pics of the text.
