    VIC-1 Power indicator lamp question.

    Thanks Carnac, Went all around google and found that I might be able to use a T1-3/4 mini bulb model type 328,338,or 345. These are all different voltages but the bulb is within .010-.020 of the size I need . The trick is getting the bulb in 24VDC. These bulbs are overall length at around .630...

    Restoration of M43 by first time MV buyer

    In the manuals I used (TM 9-2320-212-10, TM 9-2320-212-20, TM 9-2320-212-10P, TM 9-2320-212-34P and TM 9-2320-212-35), the indication was that the M43 and M43B1 of the Dodge 4X4 M37 series did not come equipped with a pioneer rack when delivered. The strange thing was that some of the M43...
