RO(MAD).... I was tongue in cheek when I said cranky. It must have been a highly technical, complicated job.
I'm leaning away from my M151 being one of these jeeps, except for that 64Kxx serial number that I haven't been able to disqualify.
Thanks for sharing that info.
I looked at my M151a1 a little bit closer and I can't tell what the rating is on the generator and there are no holes in the dash where a plate may have been to identify the system. If I knew where the serial number location is I could see if it matches the plate...
I was looking at a few sites about M151 radio jeeps, (one of them that is good is linked to this thread) and some jeeps were plated with the specific radio system that was to be installed or plated after installation. Sounds like after? It just seems like... where would that system plate come...
I have heard that the serial # for the M151 is on the frame. I have done some looking, but can't find it. Is it visible? It looks like the AN/GRC 106 would be the easiest to install. I don't have a teletype. Would there be a dash plate making it a radio jeep with the 106 or 106a or could they...
That page is what started all my questions. I found info that said Ford took over for Kaiser in 1965, then I found more info that Ford had a small contract in 1964 and at least some of the M151a1 had the 64Kxxx number as the frame number. I haven't found out yet where that number is on the...
I always thought someone made up the serial number on my jeep because it begins with 65K. Until I got these MRC95 parts home, I never heard of 65Kxxxx M151's and thought it was a random number. Where on the frame is the actual serial number stamped? I want to look for that. For some reason I...
Appreciate the info.
About 8 years ago a friend and I bought a bunch of military radio equipment from an estate. I didn't know what some of it was and that stuff got stored at my friends house. The radio equipment that I bought was what I thought was period correct for the Korean war or...
I know so little about this subject that even posting a title for this thread is uncertain. I know what ROMAD stands for, what I'd like to know, is more about is the radio equipment, and the M151a1 jeep that carried it. They were USAF jeeps that I think were designated 65Kxx with the x's being...
