The Shelter Pix I Promised

[rboltz]

I promised pictures of the shelter installation and the finished product. No, the shelter does not match the truck color. They rarely, if ever, did. Even today you will see a OD truck with a desert tan shelter or the reverse. You used what you had. I had real heartburn about this but decided to go with the "stock" look and keep the shelter's original color.

Full radio gear...THAT is cool!!!!

That looks great! I think you made the right decision about leaving it the original color.

[porkchop]

Real nice!

[fng]

Really, really sharp.

Looks real nice. Is that radio gear all complete, or do they take out key components so they don't work?

100% operational and complete. I have used it many times and have worked Europe with just the 15' whip. I copy the RTTY weather reports often, just to keep the equipment in tune.

Yes, the perforator is music to my ears. The old TT-98 was removed in favor of the UGC-74 data terminal. It's hard to keep the old machines running at100wpm. These had both so it was an easy swap as the holes were there.
