Bill,Idaho's Outstanding setup!!!!!!! #2 More pics

Bill,Idaho's Outstanding setup!!!!!!! #1 Hello gents, One of our very own Goat owners, Bill,Idaho, was gracious enough to send me pics of his Outstanding VIC-1/VRC/GRC setup in his M561. As most of you know, reference materials and pics seem to be absent in this technology age. Unfortunately...

I got all four colors of the Winter Verdant MERDC mixed up at Home Depot a few days ago. I'm ready to shoot my Goat when the weather improves.

FS34079 Color Matched I wasn't giving up too easy on this whole FS34097 charade. I took in a mid '80's non-CARC'd west coast mirror that looked way too dark to be a 383 CARC Green tone. I compared this mirror color to the Federal Standard chart and looked like a match. The paint mixer made up...

MERDC- Winter Verdant Paint (Behr Paint) ***Correction, DO NOT use FS24097 as an alternative to FS34079. It's too brown*** Today after a church meeting, I made my way to Home Depot to get things squared away with my MERDC paint. I had made two previous attempts to Home Depot to have paint made...

I'm doing the Winter Verdant on my M561.

Thank you. I have found myself getting side tracked at the moment. I was trying to concentrate on the maintenance aspects of this Goat. Had the brakes at the top of the list and somehow radio/VIC-1 found it's way to the priority list. I guess that just part of the game. When everything is said...

MX-7777B/GRC secured I have the said cable. It's the exact same cable a guy would use to connect the MX-7777B/GRC Transient Suppressor to the MT-1029 or MT-1898 mounts. The numerical designation escapes me at the moment. I do plan on incorporating an MX-7777 into this setup. I look at it as...

VRC-12 Installation Kit and TM showed up today Got a couple packages in the mail today! Is it just me or does everyone have the anticipation of coming home and seeing a box on their porch? Today I got my VRC12 radio install kit. Though it's missing a few parts, I'm sure I've got most of...

Outstanding! God is good. Had a blessed Thanksgiving vacation with the kids and wife. Spent very minimal time on the Gama Goat.

M561 Coolant System Flow Found a diagram showing the flow of the cooling system.

I'm trying to keep it all original but willing to make an exception in this case;-). My biggest issue with the fuel fired heater is the weight/size/heat output. I think something of that size is a bit overkill for where I live. I wouldn't consider the heater option but my wife (as well as...

Old Military Gama Goat Pics (Reference) 2 I thought pic #3 was interesting in that it had the hardtop kit doors with a soft top.

Old Military Gama Goat Pics (Reference) 1 Just posting some old military pics I found of our beloved Gama Goat. I'm posting to use as reference for placement of things like marker lights, bridge plates, antennas, etc.

Hi Peter, I used a two part epoxy called Quicksteel. It sets up relatively quickly so you only want to mix a little bit at a time. It works really well and easy to work with. The steering wheel on this truck is pretty sturdy compared to the plastic ones in our 5 tons. I noticed the ones in my...

Tractor Seatblet Installation and Behr Exterior Vietnam Era 24087 Today I also drilled all my holes to accommodate the tractor unit's seatbelts. In total I only had to drill 8 holes for the driver and passenger seatbelts. The biggest challenge was converting the government decimal measurements...
