UNISSUED VIETNAM ERA US ARMY LIGHTWEIGHT RUCKSACK CARGO SUPPORT SHELF (1966):
$14.95
YOU ARE PURCHASING AN UNISSUED VIETNAM ERA U.S. ARMY CARGO SUPPORT SHELF. THESE SHELVES ARE BEING PULLED FROM AN UNOPENED GOVERNMENT CARTON AND ARE STILL IN THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC SLEEVE THAT THEY CAME PACKED IN. THIS CARGO SHELF WAS DEVELOPED TO FIT THE TUBULAR FRAMED \"LIGHTWEIGHT RUCKSACK\" THAT WAS USED IN VIETNAM. THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACT DATE LISTED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CARTON INDICATES THAT THEY WERE ISSUED IN 1966.
THE CARGO SHELF COULD BE FITTED TO THE FRAME, AFTER REMOVAL OF THE PACK, SO THAT THE FRAME COULD THEN BE USED AS A PACK BOARD BY INSERTING THE SHELF ABOVE THE BOTTOM HORIZONTAL BAR OF THE FRAME. ANOTHER OPTION WAS TO LEAVE THE PACK ON THE FRAME, PLACE THE SHELF ABOVE BOTH THE MIDDLE BAR AND THE PACK THUS CREATING A COMBINATION PACK BOARD AND PACK SET UP.
THIS IS THE 2ND VERSION OF THE LIGHTWEIGHT RUCKSACK CARGO SHELF. THE ORIGINAL VERSION WAS MADE FOR THE 1ST GENERATION OF FRAMES WHICH WERE WELDED RATHER THAN RIVETED AND ONLY CAME WITH TWO CARGO STRAP SLOTS. IN 1966 WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE NEW \"RIVETED FRAME\" LIGHTWEIGHT RUCKSACK THE SHELF WAS REDESIGNED WITH FIVE STRAP SLOTS.
THE SHELF IS CONSTRUCTED OF ALUMINUM ALLOY. IT IS SIMPLE TO ATTACH AND DETACH TO THE RUCKSACK FRAME, YET IS QUITE SECURE ONCE SNAPPED INTO PLACE. THEY WERE NORMALLY ISSUED 3 CARGO SHELVES FOR EVERY 10 RUCKSACKS THOUGH SPECIAL FORCES TROOPS WERE AUTHORIZED ONE PER INDIVIDUAL.
THE CARGO SUPPORT SHELF WAS USED TO SUPPORT BULKY HEAVY LOADS SUCH AS GASOLINE, WATER, FIELD RATIONS, AMMUNITION CANS AND MOST COMMONLY RADIOS. THE SHELF HAS 5 WEBBING SLOTS IN ORDER TO LASH LOADS ON TO THE FRAME, THUS STABILIZING THE LOAD BY CINCHING IT TIGHT TO THE RUCKSACK FRAME.NSN # 8465-782-6722
WEIGHT: 12 OZ.NOTE: THE LAST TWO PHOTOS ARE THERE JUST TO SHOW WHICH PACK FRAME THESE CARGO SUPPORT SHELVES WERE DESIGNED TO FIT ON.
