I follow'ish how the factory set up is - I was looking for the right way to use type 31 batteries as an alternative to 4 x 6TL's - do I squeeze 4 in there and get new cables so I can wire the posts the same as factory (posts will be in different physical locations) or is there a way to use just...

Does you truck have the large red isolator/battery cutoff knob next to the battery box - if so, doesn't that not kill power to EVERYTHING?

... but do you need 12V and if so, how did you get it? The 916A1 needs both. Pilling 12V off of one battery will then unbalance the loading of the pair - pressumably.

6TL's are hard to come by and silly money. What are the viable options for 12/24 series/parallel ? Factory layout. Cables are very specific lengths so would have to recable if going with 4 "civi" batteries. 24V only as in M809 series.

Might be a little heavy for a CUCV! I am Nr Cooperstown.

I am gonna throw something in here (FYI) which isn't related to install but operation on the highway.. For those that haven't taken the tow truck endorcement - either full CDL or 1ton pickup size, they may not know that there are real regulations for flashing orange (inc rotating beacons)...

Knowing John for many years, it's with some confidence that I would say these are originally equipped. I have had a lot of experience with the later A1 (assisted in restoration of one and touring Normandy for the 50th in it before coming to the States) and have seen Johns a few times - all the...

Thats how my M916A1 looks - green numbers/"C" on tan bridge plate, on tan vehicle.

Yes - got all that - but mine aren't yellow, my truck is tan (desert) and I have green numbers but the top lock plate is green one side and tan the other - I need one of them to have the red "C"... but green to match the numbers? ... and should the back of the "C" be plain green to match the...

I think I have one of these - probably don't need it - JIC anyone see's this posting and decides to go looking. Not really a "for sale" listing (which would mean this post is in the wrong place) - thought I'd short circuit things...

Ordered a set just for the "C" - like you say - easier than trying to get the stencilling cut. BUT, question for the enlightened masses: "All numbers to replace the numbers on both side of each plate and the red "C" for the holder." says the blurb in the Delta Team Decals listing. But the "C"...

Tried a web search and got this warning and couldn't find site:- Your connection isn't private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.yourmrinsurance.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).

Clearly you need a bigger pool. Each vehicle I aquire, I seem to go a different direction re paint. NATO temperate, NATO Arctic, plain drab (70's Australian) and the last truck went sand, then I managed to find the correct trailer for it.... already sand!

Another nifty mod?... - but not sure what's going on here...

A1? and what are the extra steel slats going from side to side for?

"Back in the day", ie., WWII, it was common practice for wreckers to be disguised as GS cargo trucks in convoys as they were high valued targets for straffing attacks. Bows and tilts (hoops and canvas) were carred for such occasions. Also they wouldn't run as 'tail end charlie' which is the...

Damn Jeff!! ... and I thought a Ward was big!! Hope you and John have a great time.

HA!!! Yes, UK ex-pat, been here since Aug 95.

Post Findlay '21 & M870A1:- Must have measured all 60+ on site, found the only one that was 1 1/4" (&1") with hex hole... Fortunately I have a load of crow bars kicking around - one was 3/4" hex so it got decapitated. (Good-older ones are octagonal) Got a pair of the 400mm deliniator plates...

Ditto Wheelspinner but I'm leaving central NY Thur, return late Sat/early Sun.
