Antenna Base ID

Post by Explorer0863 »

Hello everyone. Any of you recognize this military antenna base? I am considering to buy it for my M37, but the owner doesn’t know what it’s off.

It is NOT the AB243 triangular mount that is common on the M37. Never seen that mount in my travels.

That lip on the backside will prevent it from mounting correctly (flush) against the bed side.

Agreed, not for the G-741, maybe earlier mount, but not M-37 I guess you could make fit, maybe?

It holds an AB-15 antenna base. I had one one my M151. It fit the rear corner very nicely. Would need some modification to work on the M37 as stated above.
M37s are HMMWV in my world!
