Need TM 11-2300-351-15-5

[Buck Wampum]

Hi- I have an M151A1 and am ready to install the AN/VRC-47 setup (one 524 RT and one 442 receiver) into the vehicle. The TM covering this install is TM 11-2300-351-15-5. This is by far the most common radio install I've seen in M151's that I've looked at in various military vehicle shows, but the manual is unobtainable. Does anyone know where a pdf copy resides? Google has been no help.

First place I looked

No, looked there too. Considering how utterly common this set-up is, I thought there'd be a template guide for drilling holes, etc.

I have no experience with the M151, but in other military vehicles, no one communications setup install is like the next. When you get a guide, it's more of a general thing, with general areas on where to run wires & such. Mounts fit where they fit. And if you need to, drill a hole to make it fit as your install requires.

You need to go to the G838.org site. They specialize in M151 1/4-tons. That site will have everything you need to install your radios and a lot of expert advice. I installed the exact same radios in my M151A2 and that site was a great help. It's also a great place for anything else related to M151s. Also, check out Ebay. Someone has the TM 11-2300-351-15-6 available for M151s.

You're right, no install is like the next, so that's why there is a separate guide for installing every iteration of the AN/VRC-12 family into the M151 family of vehicles. I just need to find the documentation so I don't have to drill willy-nilly into my vehicle. Ironically, I can find all sorts of unusual installation guides like this:

but for the common-as-dirt M151, it seems to be a hunt

Thanks for the tip! I just signed up there. For some reason it won't let me view any images which is frustrating. I'll have to PM the mods and see what's up. Thanks again!
