[Milsurplus] Radio in USMC Gun Motor Carriage 75mm M3

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The remaining problem that I have with GF/RU or RU only (the USMC vet in OK 
City still insists that his Half-track only had a receiver) installed in a 
large batch of newly acquired M3's in late 1943/early 1944 is that the last GF/RU 
contract year listed in SHIPS 242A dated 01 January 1945 is 1941 (they date 
all the way back to 1930 for the original RU and 1932 for the original GF which 
probably explains why the GF/RU combo uses the same dynamotor as the RU 
alone).

If I could remember the nomenclature so that I could find it, I have a manual 
with photographs of a USMC armored communications vehicle probably built 
around the M4 Medium chassis.
