What brand these economical LED headlights? I’ve been kicking around getting a pair for another vehicle but I’m reluctant to buy an unknown brand from Amazon or an auction site. I have Trucklite’s on my deuce and they’ve been working fine for 7 years or so. They don’t see much use anymore but...

Resurrected... So, is there any issue with using M38 wheels and tapered lug nuts on a M416? I’d like to use common wheels, and I think the solid M38 wheel look better. I just don’t want any safety concerns. Seems to me that if I used some 7/16”-20 tapered nuts for lug centric rather than the...

Yes, that would be a VIC-3. If you want a solution that would be original for a US Army truck. If you don’t care if it’s original you can choose from any of a number of commercial intercoms.

It is possible, in which case it is probable they had a VIC-3 intercom system in their truck. A number of headsets can be used with a VIC-3, Bose Triports are common.

A SINCGARS in VRC-88/89/90/91/92 configuration would be correct. A H-250 handset is appropriate for use with SINCGARS. I’ve been working on Army radios since 1996 and I have not seen a M80/u mic in servIce. There are some out there and It will work, but it is not widely used.

Nice work. Very cool just to have that around the shop. Is the cockpit complete?

Papakb, nice install. I’ve got one as well, but only in PRC-119 configuration. I picked it up with a vehicle set in mind, but never finished collecting the parts. What’s the small box below the radio set to the right with the two U229 connectors on the face?

I agree, I overlooked in the first part but included later. I mentioned, “A RT-1439 is an earlier non-embedded crypto model...” in a follower post. Non-icom 1439’s were the first model I was trained on as a young Signal Support Systems Specialist years ago.

Sounds like a nice install. You should post some photos of your set-up and details of you speaker adapter if you haven’t already (link?). I always hear good things about Clansman radios, I’ve been tempted to pick up a couple since they won’t be on the market forever. I’ve seen the prices...

Correct display with a VIC-3 is limited to somewhat modern radios, which means $$$. Empty SINCGARS cases are out there and not terribly expensive if you want display only. You'll need additional components to make it correct such as a mounting base, vehicle amplifier adaptor, associated cables...

Not all VHF is license only, MURS is available but I can't think of a vehicle mounted military radio that is obtainable and able to transmit on MURS. Might be something out there. Which Clansman radio and are you using it with a VIC-3 like the OP is looking for?

Are you looking for a radio for display, or something functional? Which band(s)? Like papakb, I'll also offer a word of caution. Be wary of any RT-1523 series SINCGARS and any US military Harris radio variants. They all have embedded controlled cryptographic capability, and if you find one that...

Welcome SecoParts, glad to see Seco pop up here. I bought some 5-ton parts from Seco in 2011, I think I bought some later too, maybe around 2012 or 13, but I only have pictures from 2011. Nice folks, I think I spoke with Byron If I’m remembering correctly. My experiences with Seco were always...

I hated staying in WWII barracks in my younger days, but I now feel fortunate I had the chance since they're disappearing. The barracks I stayed in at Ft Knox are gone. The barracks I stayed in at Ft Lewis are fenced off and condemned to be torn down last I heard.. I think all the WWII building...

Great looking Pinz. But I might be more impressed with that garage! Are you keeping that Pinz in a garage or in your office inside your house. Looks like a nice room whatever it is.

Agree with bikeman. If you’re looking for a M38 I‘d either spend more to get closer to right, or hold out for something that has more M38 left in it. Unless you get this one for super cheap, I would pass. $4800 is high for a M38 that doesnt have much M38 left.

Yes. The original poster, Kevin - decodeme2, is no longer with us.

Here's a video from the late great garage sale during the draw-down in the 90's. I know the Major they interviewed in the video. Long since retired from the Army but still serving as an instructor. He had some great stories of POMCUS disposal/retrograde and of being the officer in charge of the...
