Radio Mount

Unread post by kb0jyl » February 4th, 2008, 4:08 pm

I know this is a long shot, but I am looking for the mounting brackets for a PRC-47. I was rummaging around in my basement which is full of old surplus (new bdu's, flight suits etc) and ran across a radio I had forgotten I had. Just need to find the mounting brackets and maybe the 24 volt power cord so I can get it mounted in the trusty mutt.

Thanks
Steve

Here is a picture of what the mount looks like. I could not find a number for the mount yet. I found this picture on a web site and borrowed it to show the radio and mount.

Possibly a depot mod? I have never seen that style of mount.

Steve: Have you tried Murphys? I know they have the prick 47 for sale, maybe they have the mounts?

Thanks to all the replies, and thanks Floyd for the link. Didn't have the mount for the PRC-47, but did have the battery box for my PRC-74 (confusing isn't it?) which worked out great.

Have a peice of plate aluminum that I am making a mounting bracket for the PRC-47. May not be original, but not sure how many people have actually seen one of these in the jeep. And this jeep has an am-fm-cd player mounted in a water tight box under the passenger seat, so diffently not original. Used LS- 454 speaker boxes with 3.5 waterproof stereo speakers mounted in them.

Thanks guys
Steve
