Looking at the above pics you can see the small box just the left of the radio, that is all I have........I guess its power supply.
The owner of that Stalwart tells me the clansman can be converted to 27 mhz ????
I will be needing one of those radios, but not now as i have no money and it is one of the last things I need to chase.
You may be better to get a Clansman 320,

which is an HF set that can already do 27MHz, the 351 would have to be modified to do 27MHz.
The box is likely a distribution box, you need a 28V (24V) supply for both the intercom harness and the 320 or 351/2.
I can have a look when I get a chance to look over what you have. The ANR harness I have can have 2 radios and the harness but usually you have it on intercom and monitor the radio in the other ear, to transmit you switch to the radio and use the same pressel/headset your already wearing.
The sets below are the large format radios, that I would have assumed were fitted to the Stolly, the 353 is roughly equivalent to AN/524-VRC VHF and Clansman 321 = AN/106 HF

320 sounds good and the intercom/radio/headset fit up.(exactly what the stalwart needs.)
The power distribution box as seen, one spring loaded ariel(army type) and cable and a speaker on the out side of the truck with a lead that runs inside with a correct looking sort of socket on the end of it to fit on a radio is what I have
Where in the long term would be the best place to pic this radio up from and rough cost.
The head set / intercom is a must because this truck at road speeds is not quiet with fan roar and bevel box whine.
I just checked EBay. (UK)
The radio is a bit pricey (for me) , but all the leads and bit and pieces seem to be cheap.
As you can gather I know very little about army radios.

Meet up with Lotz-A- Landies and bobslandies and took them for a spin.
It was hot and Diana was in the righthand cabin seat which I now know is not meant for serious use, so it was not a comfortable ride.
I experimented a little bit and slammed it down a bit hard over one lump of dirt.
The thing climbs OK off road, but is slow and noisey on road......still learning with this thing.

Thanks Ron
One of the best, most fun rides I have had for a while! :D :banana:

I recon the cabling can be the bugbear to sort out.Quote:

You also need this to power the IB3 CLANSMAN MILITARY RADIO/ANCILLARIES POWER FEED CABLE BN | eBay
(and another for anything else like the loudspeaker amplifier box or DCCU for each radio)
You should have one of these to power your loudspeaker. CLANSMAN MILITARY L/ROVER AUDIO AMP FOR RADIO/HARNESS | eBay
You also need a headset for each CB2 these are O.K but not ANR CLANSMAN MILITARY NEW VEHICLE HEADSETS WITH MIC FFR ETC | eBay
And also a pressel (PTT) for each headset. CLANSMAN MILITARY MANPACK NEW PRESSEL BOX SWITCH & LEAD | eBay
In regard to headsets and leads, it is best to buy new rather than used A or B grade Used, because I had a number of leads confiscated by AQIS when they arrived at the postal inspection centre.

I have not purchased any intercom gear as bills are coming thick and fast currently.
I have aquired these locally, a crank handle and a Boiling vessel.
The crank handle is for a Ferret scout car, but I should be able to lengten it in the right places to fit the stolly.
The crank handle is the only way of turning over the B81 Rolls by hand for things like fan belt adjustment, tappet adjustment etc as there is nothing else easy to get a spanner or screw river on to do it.
