screw jack on right rear of frame

Post by jim0311 »

Finally found out what the screw jack on the right rear of the frame was used for. This truck served with the Army Missile Command in Europe and is a V-126 radar truck. The jack was used to level the truck when radar was in use. The radar received and decoded IFF signals for friend or foe

That's really cool. Was there another jack on the other side in case it was the other side which needed to be lifted, or was the weight distribution such that it was always the right side?
