Default Camo

Derk,
Thank you. The jeep is now newly painted and numbered and receiving it's equipment. However this fall after all the parades and shows and vacation, it's going camo.

Default Brush painted Jeeps

(Told this one before, but just in case.)

About 1977-78, my unit received orders to paint our Jeeps camoflage. They found the man-days, the gallon cans of paint and organized a few work parties. The Jeeps were cleaned thoroughly and allowed to dry. Then the Cpl would hand draw with chalk the diagrams posted above. The Tprs would take 2" brushes and paint the green, green and black pattern. When the Jeep went back to workshop for more major work, they'd come back spray painted camo'. So, hard and soft edge camoflage paint are both authentic finishes.

Derk:

Thanks so much for your posting of several CFTOs relating to M38A1 series Jeeps.

You've made our day!

Do you happen to have the CFTO for the installation of the 5820-21-847-3343Bracket, Support?

This is the tray upon which the MT-1029 and then the RT-524 sit on the sponson of an M38A1

Rob Love posted quite a while ago about the 2 set and 3 set installation in Iltis, but that IKEE isn't really applicable to an M38A1.

Can you help?

Default C42 radio installation

Hi Jon,
Bob was also asking about radio installation in the M38A1.I have the installation for the C42 radio set only.Nothing on the RT 524.I have copied and posted the diagrams for the radio installation dimensions that are shown in the handbook for the M38 and M38A1 CDN.I would imagine the mounting is the same for the M38A1 CDN2 jeep except where the ATU is mounted.
Derk.

I have the installation instructions for the 524 IKEE in the M38A1Cdn. I think it even includes the doghouse. I'll drag it in from the shed later today and post portions of it.
