You have a M116B1, this thread is for M416B1s, you have a 3/4-ton trailer and this thread is about a 1/4-ton jeep trailer. What is it worth? There a 1,000 threads on SS about "I have this, what is it worth?" And all of them are posted by newbies who only want to get rid of their OD green...

Love that truck! Can't wait to see it all done up prim and proper! BTW, I loved your truck in Jeepers Creepers! :)

FM 24-24, Signal Data References: Signal Equipment, 1994 edition.

Yes, I have it in .pdf as well. Will upload to the TMs section right now.

That thing looks pretty cool - takes a Russian with balls as big as pumpkins to test drive a 4x4 on a thin ice layer like that in the middle of winter. Bet he has lots of axle maintenance to do now!

Okay, well, did some looking into the FM 24-24 edition I have, which is the 1994 edition, there are several types/designations of shelter installations: Switches: TTC - Automatic Telephone Central Office (TTC = Transportable (Ground), Telephone (Wire), Communications (2-way)) TYC - Automatic...

Thanks for the heads-up on FM 24-24. I'll look that up and see what it reads...

Thanks. And everyone else, feel free to cut this above quote and post it into every thread I've posted to since 2006. ;)

Nah. Teletypes are electro-mechanical nightmares and I don't need the hassle of installing and maintaining one of those beasts. There will be a computer onboard to decipher data signals should the need arise. Same mode, but more modern technique.

Okay so yours is a "TSC" for: Transportable Special (or Combination) Communications (2-way)

Confused a little by the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (formerly the Joint Army/Navy Nomenclature System), on radio installations. T designates transportable, M is Ground Mobile, G is General Use, and V is vehicular. What would most shelter-based radio systems be designated...

Well, Shenkmen is the head of this one-truck dork parade. Hurry up, shenk, and figure out what weekend - there's a couple in April you missed that weren't options in your PMs you sent out. :)

I have seen documentation, both in photos and in print, that vehicles in theater in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm DID in fact come home. I started a thread on the rebuild of vehicles coming back from Vietnam, in Okinawa (search is your friend). However, I have seen pics of...

Might want to send a PM to atankersdad, powerhousedeuce, or hedelta. They are right there in the Aberdeen area, and they always go to that rally, might be able to help you out.

A lot were shipped back, hundreds of thousands, but compared to the number of trucks and jeeps, and other MVs produced, many more were given to European nations, left in place (abandoned), or even wasted (like pushed into lakes, ocean, etc.).

Coming up in about 5 weeks. As I've said in previous years, it's a LONG trip up there for me, but about this time of year I start getting cabin fever and suffer withdrawal from OD green disease, and need to go. Takes me 4 times the time to make the round trip as I spend at the show, but it's...

As always, I'll be there. Probably around noon on Friday through at least late Saturday night, maybe longer if Lady Luck is nice to me this year and gives me enough commission on my job to get a CUCV before the rally. I'll bring some cigars and some firewood again.

$20 each is a steal - were they military surplus units or just used Kenmores? Any pics of what they were?

Whatever weekend it is, I'm in as always. I'm probably the one who wins the long-distance award each year, but it's worth it!

Saw a couple at a local surplus shop in good shape, I thought the base said "AB-588" but the -588 is for microwave only, and a search on AB-558 brings up a picture that looks like what he has. Looks like it's a whip base for VRC-12 series radio installations, from what a Google search brings...
