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.

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
