Phil,

Check out the "Signals Collection '40 - '45" website of Jan and Paul Bodifee in the Netherlands.

For details on their C8A HUW look under: Army, Vehicles, Chevrolet C8A.

Enjoy.

Phil,

You are welcome.

I would expect that Bruce Parker will also respond here. He has a HUW and is a frequent contributor to MLU.

Also, much closer to you is a HUW owned by Dave Prince in Ipswich. I couldn't find the HUW on his website:

but it is shown here on this link (scroll to bottom):

Hi Phil

From your inquiry, I suspect that what you are hunting for is the specific HUW radio gear and special fittings to truck.

Though I have a HUP I've collected a number of photos of the gear over the years.

Please keep us posted on your finds, over the years there have been a lot of HUW photos posted on MLU. Wonder if any of group can point to any specific Threads that would be of interest.

Cheers Phil Waterman
