Wow still amazed at the amount of prople that buy CUCVs and know absolutly nothing about them or how to work on them. Great site to help out the not knowing and to humor those that do.

And how many people buy cars and don't know anything but where to put the key. :p

Its a Gamma Ray detector. :tin hat:

"In case of a nuclear detonation or exposure, it lights up. To see if it is lit, soldier A stands in front of truck and take a close look. If the light is lit, you have been exposed. Works better at night, when you can see the light best. Ensure Soldier B has gear lever in 'Park' and parking brake is engaged" :shock:

...previous copied straight from the PMs. ;)

Seriously, it is the black out light....

Enjoy your new toy!

I had a guy tell me something similar. He said that my slave receptical was a port to plug a NBC detector into that hung off the front of the truck and the "special door seals" made the truck air tight incase of a biological attack.

No use arguing with that, I just nodded my head in agreement.......

Yeah it was from the Military then it was bought by a Fire Department and when they got done with it they put it up for auction on GSA, this will be the first for me to actually have an old Military vehicle, so far i have learned alot about it from either working on it or by the help from other SS members, thank you to all that have either answered my questions or gave me ideas :grd:
