Restoration/preservation is started on this box. The complete box has been media blasted and primed. Much more rusty metal to be cut out and replaced.

Another variation for your amusement: Just sat a German Comm Box on my LMTV with Ecohubs. Going to see how that drives. The box will fit lower by 6 inches when the wooden frame is removed.es.

I was reading 'old' threads and notice I never responded. Mike Pop is a good friend and gave me the idea to put an Unimog 404 box on the M-105! One coincidence discovered when mating the box to the trailer was that the mounting centers of the German Radio box flex frames and the widths of the...

You will like the PRC-320. It is one of the best thought out transceivers readily available on the market today. You know this (but for readers), the internal antenna tuner can be easily bypassed by removing the BNC jumper on the back and coming right out of the transmitter, and the internal...

No clearance problem at all. The box has wheel wells built in. The axle was moved back to position the tires correctly. Edit, I looked back at original pictures on this thread and I see why you saw clearance problem with the side of box. Sure looks like it! Actually it's a perspective...

Adam pestered me enough to go out in the rain and take a few updated photos. :-) The radio table installation is complete but radios are still being added: 1) SEM-25, originally used in these comm boxes, 15 Watts or 1 Watt, with mounting plate/power supply and cabling, including AGAT...

I especially liked the flag picture:

The first outing! Our local Mil Veh group, Knoxville Military Vehicle Club, set up a stationary display in front of the American Legion in Rockwood, TN, last week. This was the first long tow and event for the comm trailer (now designated M105A404 !). The trailer towed great and the U-1300...

MilChevyGuy, Have not seen an M-1010 boxed trailer but that could be a good combination. However, if mounted on an M-105, the M-1010 box would really be up in the air. The '1010 is much taller than the 404 box. Of course that's a good thing for creature comfort but the center of gravity...

Update on progress. The front desk is tidied up and installed. Front heater ducting removed (will use portable heater, propane or electric depending on facilities available). A PRC-174 transceiver is installed temporarily to test an articulating mount. Works great! These radio boxes are...

That is the original Unimog "buddy bar" for towing. It links the Ringfeder pintle hitch of the towing vehicle to the standard tow-bar receptacle on the towed vehicle. The use as a spreader is a bonus! It's as if it were made for the job. One day I'll swedge/swage up some cables to replace...

I'd say the chances are very good :-) I still have to renovate and install the furniture into the box, including the front radio table, and left rear side table. Still on the lookout for a suitable mast for this box, either a telescoping triangular tower (40 ft range) or pneumatic type as used...

The 1985 Zepellin-built radio box (from a 404 Unimog) went onto the modified M-105 trailer frame yesterday: The old but rejuvenated Pitman Polecat hydraulic crane (mounted on a 406 Unimog) handled the box well. The black "yard truck" is a 404 Unimog being brought back to life after sitting...

The crane is fully mobile. I don't find a picture showing it (to follow) but the boom rotates around and lowers on the guide on the ROPS, the stabilizers tuck up, and it's narrow enough to drive on highway. With the weight up high I usually limit my speed to 35 mph or so. Bob

Here are photos of the radio box. .

This project is to put a Unimog 404 radio box on an M105 trailer frame/axle. Maybe the modifications on the M105 will be helpful to others, especially the method used to extend parking brake and service brake linkages. M105 trailers are nice trailers. M105 beds seem to be favorites for use on...
