Any suggestions on installing a VIC into an M1009. I was looking at putting a main control box on the metal dash plate along with two control boxes. I was also looking at putting two control boxes for the rear seats on each side of the back.

What power cords would I use if I can get my hands on a VIC3 or if not what cords for a VIC1?

Next, anyone seen a special mount for putting the radios in the very back of the 1009? I hate using the space in the back seat area and was wondering if there is something akin to the 1008A1 radio rack that i can modify to throw in the back and somehow secure? If so, what cables would I need for that assuming I have a GRC160 system?

Next, is there a modification to us a military (or military look alike) antenna for AM/FM radio? Ditto for CB and short wave?

Alot of questions.

Since the CUCV has the luxury of having the cheapest windshield in the industry, I'd replace it with a tinted one with the antenna in the glass. Thats the least obvious way to do it and new glass is sooooo nice.
