A couple pics and more information on the type of units they are would greatly help us get you the info you need.

This site and it's members have changed my life for the better. It's not a website, it's a way of life.

Wanted to start a thread on this topic - going to hamfests and saving military-issue communications equipment and accessories. I'll admit, I am an unapologetic pack-rat when it comes to well-made radio gear, and when it comes to quality, nothing beats the ruggedness of mil gear. I often don't...

Here's a pic of the control box I am referring to...

Welcome from Front Royal. I lived in Culpeper from 1997-2004, small world. This site has plenty of info on the CUCVs, I'm sure it will be helpful to you in that regard...

Got a control box at the Richmond hamfest today, the data plate just says it's a control box for the AN/VSC-3 teletypewriter set. Info I have found online says that was installed in M-577 command tracks, uses MD-522 modem, AN/UGC-74 teletypes, etc. The control box I have is missing the meter...

You have a M116B1, this thread is for M416B1s, you have a 3/4-ton trailer and this thread is about a 1/4-ton jeep trailer. What is it worth? There a 1,000 threads on SS about "I have this, what is it worth?" And all of them are posted by newbies who only want to get rid of their OD green...

Love that truck! Can't wait to see it all done up prim and proper! BTW, I loved your truck in Jeepers Creepers! :)

FM 24-24, Signal Data References: Signal Equipment, 1994 edition.

Yes, I have it in .pdf as well. Will upload to the TMs section right now.

That thing looks pretty cool - takes a Russian with balls as big as pumpkins to test drive a 4x4 on a thin ice layer like that in the middle of winter. Bet he has lots of axle maintenance to do now!

Okay, well, did some looking into the FM 24-24 edition I have, which is the 1994 edition, there are several types/designations of shelter installations: Switches: TTC - Automatic Telephone Central Office (TTC = Transportable (Ground), Telephone (Wire), Communications (2-way)) TYC - Automatic...

Thanks for the heads-up on FM 24-24. I'll look that up and see what it reads...

Thanks. And everyone else, feel free to cut this above quote and post it into every thread I've posted to since 2006. ;)

Nah. Teletypes are electro-mechanical nightmares and I don't need the hassle of installing and maintaining one of those beasts. There will be a computer onboard to decipher data signals should the need arise. Same mode, but more modern technique.

Okay so yours is a "TSC" for: Transportable Special (or Combination) Communications (2-way)

Confused a little by the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (formerly the Joint Army/Navy Nomenclature System), on radio installations. T designates transportable, M is Ground Mobile, G is General Use, and V is vehicular. What would most shelter-based radio systems be designated...

Well, Shenkmen is the head of this one-truck dork parade. Hurry up, shenk, and figure out what weekend - there's a couple in April you missed that weren't options in your PMs you sent out. :)

I have seen documentation, both in photos and in print, that vehicles in theater in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm DID in fact come home. I started a thread on the rebuild of vehicles coming back from Vietnam, in Okinawa (search is your friend). However, I have seen pics of...

Might want to send a PM to atankersdad, powerhousedeuce, or hedelta. They are right there in the Aberdeen area, and they always go to that rally, might be able to help you out.
