I could not find the pic with the safety straps. This is interesting to me because I am in the process of getting some made for a WC-7.

if you type in signal corps truck
than hit gallery view

the truck in the second picture is the one you want.
the safty strap is hanging down on the passenger side or right side

if you click on the pic it will enlarge.
if you click on the deal above the pic it will download a printable format.

the round nosed hook almost reminds me of the airborne static line hook.
ohh this would be for the pickup truck bow.
the picture of the comand car in the parts manual shows the end of the
riveted DOOR safty strap perty clearly.

geez how do these things happen,!

a couple grand later, and I'v got
all the stuff to put a centrall office in the back of my wc-4,

I cant believe how much those swich boards waigh,
I snaged a BD-71 scince the 72's are a little pricy.
according to the pics, it looks like thay took the cast iron legs off,
which reduces the waight, quite a bit,
but from a safty stand point, I'm not sure you could build a strong enough stand, to withstand a suden stop, and not have the passenger
get hit in the back of the head, by 60 lbs of swichboard.

is there a support group for e-bay addicts?
