30010000CF003: This was a common mod to the SMPs. It was either seatbelt installation, or else modification to the distributor cap for the autosense diagnostic computer. I am leaning towards the distributer cap mod. The autosense was the "state of the art" automotive diagnostic system we used back in the 80s. About the size of a chest freezer, it was rarely to never used on the SMPs as first line army units weren't entitled to one.
30105000CF001: Installation of the radio power cable
30105000CF003: Modification to door rods (cotter pin) to prevent loss while driving
30105000CF004: Battery box cover insulation (rubber sheet glued into battery box cover to prevent shorting)
30105000CF005:Installation of hasp to tool box cover...allows mechanics access to batteries without access to tool box
30105000CF006:Installation of new footman loops to back corner of body...holds tarp over body instead of at body.
30105000CF007: Drilling hole in top of radiator baffle to allow proper reading of radiator level
30105000CF008, Installation of fuse protection for turn signals
30105000CF012: Installation of grill type radiator guard
30105000CF013: Installation of lap belts
30105000CF016, relocation of rear view mirrors onto fenders
30105000CF017: Installation of roll bar and safety (seat) belts
These were all very common mods to the mutts, and some could easily be removed through normal maintenance and operators changing things like doors between each other.
Too bad service Battalion doesn't have an archive of photos from back then. You could possibly find a photo of this jeep on a parade.
