Well the B/O part of the turn signals got painted over, I didn't think about it until I already did it. I could scrape them but the chances of me ever running B/O drive are slim to none.

What did you do to your deuce this week?

I keep the BO's working to show curious non-military types what they are, what they're for, and how they were employed.
Certainly the LED fixtures will have a much longer service life than incandescent bulbs. There's quite a bit of vibration that incandescent bulbs are subjected to, which kills the filaments. I've blown out a brand-new bulb just fiddling in my driveway during the past 2 weeks and yes, I'm certain it's a 24v bulb.

You bled the airpack first, I assume, then the wheels? Do the brakes themselves work as they should? If so, it could be simply the pedal itself needing adjusting.

Looks good, I picked up one last year, but is still in the box it came in. Seems I forgot I bought it and left it in the truck in the cargo area. Might want to go unpack it for grins.

Found them! I actually had three of them... I might have another one around here... The pics were taken with them sitting on a 20mm ammo can.

Very Cool Aussie! I've been looking at intercom systems too. The Vic-1 seems complicated, so I haven't had the time to really sit down and figure out what all the components are. That'll be a fun project, and being able to talk to passengers is a plus.

I have all the components plus spares. I can dig around and give you the list of stuff that goes into the VIC 1. I have a complete VIC 1 installed on my Gun Truck War Wagon.

Wow! That would be awesome of you. I hate for you to go thru too much trouble. I'm sure I can eventually figure it all out with some more time with Professor Google, but would certainly appreciate any knowledge you can pass along.

What is that last one from? It is one heavy suck*r and I never really found out where it was used. I have one of these.

G'day everyone,....
Cool,... got any pics,... I'd like to see how you have it installed.
Also do you have any spare caps for the connectors?

I would also love to have the parts list to try and start putting a VIC system together. My boss is holding a set of NOS headsets for me that we "think" are the correct ones, and having the NSNs available would make life ALOT easier for everyone, I think.

I’ll go out and take pictures of everything. I have some caps, not sure which ones off the top of my head. Any one in particular you’re looking for? I bought my setup from a vender 10 years +/- a week or two. I’ll list everything that it came with. The real pricey item is the 1780. Without a working one, you’ll have a great show piece but that’s it.

Radios is the one thing I never got into, so I don't know what is needed for a operating system. It would be nice if one of the "Radio Nerds" (not meant as a slam) posted on what it would take to set-up and operate a military vehicle radio intercom system.
Then if I knew what parts where needed and how they went together and worked I might go ahead and install a radio intercom system in my Deuce.

G'day everyone,.....
Guy I bought it off of said its all fully operational, it was working in his Deuce.
Pulled it out to restore it that's why it looks new, did a great job on it I must admit.
