Looking out at a part of Wenatchee, WA

This is what I was getting hung up on. Looks like one 90 followed by another but the pic of lines on the floor clearly show flex lines. Carry on.

It could be an optical delusion...lol...but I've never seen a soft line that can hold the memory of (2) 90 degree bends. Could be something new I'm not familiar with.

From that frame junction block down to the axle: if that's some type of flex hose, how does it hold that offset jog? ...and if that's a hard line, what happens when the axle articulates?

Most helpful! - thanks Juanprado

What is the official name of that radio tray? These are the only numbers on the part:

Thats sounds like a lot of material - thanks for the details. I've been circling the rabbit hole of communications & radio gear for awhile now, but I'm not sure i have the time to completely jump in. When I do, I'll look into these texts a lot more thoroughly.

I'm assuming that those who chose a communications MOS and went on to an advanced course after basic would have had a unique curriculum. Were they taught with the TMs and FMs that we all know or were there other internal texts that were not released? I'm just wondering if there's a 2" thick...

I ordered TM 11-5820-498-12 which sheds a little more light on the AM-2060 mounting unit. Although the PRC-25 or -77 battery pack delivers 3 & 15 VDC, this unit outputs 3 & 13...

Painted the tensioner to match and reattached the data plate and MWO tag that used to be on the top c-channel plate before the level wind took its place.

This truck also has bags on the end of a spring pack: https://surplusmilitarydepot.com/crew-cab-m923-a2-5-ton-4x4-military-truck/

Today I got the tensioner for the level wind installed which required removing the cable and got the winch wound up nice & tight for the first time. I finally found a tensioner with a broken handle and found a new replacement handle for it. Getting that handle in my possession is a whole other...

I don't know anything about the AM-2060 adapter or how it changes the voltage. Maybe a transformer of some sort? There is a large solid block that houses something fairly heavy in it. All I've found from my limited collection of radio TMs that mentions this setup is this: Looks like it...

I'm also planning to use the -77 in my vehicle in lieu of an RT-524 so I guess I won't need a battery pack as power will come from the truck.

Perhaps! The collector i got this from mentioned that the internals are made in modules so a module with a faulty component can be replaced with another module. He also mentioned there are people who make battery packs composed of D-cell batteries. I'll have to look into that deal.

I'm gonna have to make a choice here. Either sell the hmmwv parts or tell the wife that since we don't want them to go to waste, we need to get a hmmwv to install the parts on...

I was able to stow the AM-1780 amps and C-2296 crew boxes in the old packaging i still had from Recodefense and it reminded me of how thorough and how detailed Gary was in his craft - to the point that his attention to detail carried over into the packaging. All of the boxes just fit exact and...

A fellow collector has been cleaning up his shop and graciously loaded me up with all sorts of AN/VRC gear. It seems the highlight of the bundle is the AN/VRC-53 or -64? Radio set using the AM-2060/GRC adapter to plug the PRC-77 into the MT-1029 mount. There's still lots of parts to...

Looks like a fun project. Is there more cable length to be had by loosening the adjustment knob on the brake handle?

Yeah, Wes makes it look easy by himself but in the case of a roadside tire change I've been thinking of carrying a pop out sign similar to the 'wet floor' signs you see but offering cash for some extra muscle to entice someone to stop and help
