Mine has the rectifier in the grill in front of the radiator. Seller called it this. It is a small box with cooling fins on the drivers side. What is this used for It has a huge braided line running to the generator. The seller told me something "electrical" was originally mounted in the bed because of a hole that is approx. 1.5 in dia. just left of center on the vertical wall in the front of the bed.

Thanks Barry

The item in question is a rectifier for a 100 amp charging system. These systems were used on radio trucks because of the high demand for electrical power. I have some spare parts for these systems if you need anything.

Yep it was for a radio truck most likely one with a commo shelter in it, but maybe an M42 command truck.

I wish! I will probably do the side window deal , how cool. Its a 51 with brass plates.

My truck is running with the 100 amp system. Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll help you out the best I can. I can provide pictures if you need that, too.

And your truck should have an alternator, not a generator. That's what the rectifier is used for. It converts the AC to DC.
