There was a version of those jeeps that were configured
at Tachikawa AFB in 1952 or thereabouts. They pulled
a small trailer with something like a PE-75 in it. The
radio equipment ran on DC. The rectifiers were in the
trailer. The requirement was for a jeep-mounted facility
that could operate from a fixed base for a time. We did
a lot of ad hoc in those days because that's all we had.
I've seen CF-1 and CF-2 carrier bays in jeeps and weapons
carriers. TRC-1 was the radio.
