Jeep with RL-31 unit

Post by Knut » Tue Jul 14, 2009 10:30 am

Could someone please post pictures of jeeps with RL-31`s, like these?
I am hoping to see rear bumperette markings. Thanks.

Those are some great pics, but I'd be surprised to see any markings not censored out. Like the right bumperette in the first pic...
Is it true real Jeeps have flat fenders?

Great shots, thanks

Interesting camo pattern, is it British?:

Anyone have an early ww2 pic of one of these reels in a dodge 1/2 ton?

Per the manual, sure looks like a 1/2 ton dodge closed cab!

Somewhere on you tube I think in the critical past films they had how to run signal cable and they had those mounted in a truck I believe looking like your last pictures. I will see if I can find it. I think this might be the film. Not sure on the vehicle as the first one shown has dual wheels. Not watching the rest of it.
