A nice and fairly clean looking truck, so a good project for restoration. I am surprised to see a parking brake on the transfer case, has it been added to the original single speed box or perhaps the truck is re equipped with a two speed box ( which is what I did)..BP

Hello Bob! It is not known when our army auctioned these vehicles to civilians and what modifications they have had since the 1960s. But this Chevrolet appears to have not been modified. It seems all Factory...

The owner ask for drawing to reproduce the wire-5 aluminium radio box. Where can find any drawing?

Looks like the hole for the speaking tube on a FFW version. See another one here: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...659#post215659

Jordan Baker has restored one, check his thread in the restoration subforum.
