    m1008a1 communications kit

    Again, each unit had a MTOE, a list of equipment authorized. There was no standard "kit" for any vehicle. The only standard would have been the installation kit for the specific radio for the specific vehicle, there is a TM with this information. It's up to you what radio's you want to...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Looks good, I'll wait to come over when it's finished :mrgreen:. A little more progress today, blasted and primed the second side bracket, compressor crapped but I'm done with it for now. Made up a winch support kit using a hard bottom GI tool kit bag, snatch block just fits along with some...

    m1008a1 communications kit

    What radio's were installed all depended on what was authorized to the unit and by the unit commander. At a minimum would have been a VRC-46(RT-524)and one antenna.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Got the first top coat of paint on the mounting tray, finished sand blasting the front bracket and got it primed. Also finished making the remaining 5 shear pins. Still need to finish blasting the second side bracket and the chain/hook. My air compressor is on it's last leg and progress is slow.

    m1008a1 communications kit

    I believe it was a multi purpose radio rack and power distribution box, I have one of the racks in my M1010 in place of the passenger side litter rack for my comm. gear.

    M1010 Questions

    Near the front racks on each wall were wiring for the GPFU, gas particulate filter system, the switch for them is on the dash next to the side light switches. For 12v I ran another wire into the cab from the 12v junction block on the firewall.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Winch and lower brackets arrived as well as the mounting tray, chain and other brackets. The winch was dated in the early 70's and had a FSN on the data plate, amazing what still lingers new in old warehouses. In the process of blasting and painting the used brackets.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    So thanks to UPS losing parts from one of my previous winch parts shipment I was missing the winch side of the pto shaft. I purchased a used one from Arts Parts in MN, the u-joint seals were in tough shape so I took it apart, cleaned and painted it and started looking for a new u-joint. The...

    Runs only in "Start" Position

    According to the NAPA site the ohms value of the resistor is 1.2 and 5.0, looks like mine may be ok, will check voltage at the coil next.

    Runs only in "Start" Position

    My resistor has a top and bottom connection, the plugs are keyed so the top and bottom can't be exchanged. Left side terminals top to bottom 5.3 ohms, right side top to bottom terminals 1.3 ohms, this is with the wiring connectors off. Went to my parts truck and of course it's missing.

    Runs only in "Start" Position

    All of a sudden my old reliable 882 won't stay running in the "on" position of the key. It will start and run in the "crank" position but as soon as you release the key to the "run" position it shuts right off. Any help appreciated.

    Blower Motor acting weird and now truck will not crank. M1008A1

    I have seen the fusible link going to the 12v firewall block partially burn and still show 12v but not carry full load. You can try running a good size wire direct from the battery to that block, that will eliminate a bad link.

    7.00 x 16 tires

    When I restored my M38 I purchased my NDCC tired from universal tire, they have the correct tubes and flaps and are familiar with military vehicles. They attend a lot of shows and can deliver them to save shipping.

    1008 starter question

    Of all the cucv starters I have dealt with the only way to tell was if the solenoid was marked with the voltage.

    I have some extra radiator pads, they look identical to the cucv radiator pads, typical GM radiator parts.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Installed the pto today, was not too bad of a job. I filled the pto with gear oil last night and drained it out today, thought it would be a good idea to pre lube it. I did not have a gasket so I made one from the back cover of a M151 hand receipt manual, got to keep it GI. I also needed a...
