FOLLOW ME KIT- STOCK NO. 5025-416700 for the 1/4 Ton 4X4 Truck. It included Instructions and parts to modify and install a USAF Issue Kit manufactured for the MB/GPW Jeep and was first issued in 1948. It had a push button controller mounted on the Jeep Steering Column and was connected to the Radio Filter Box.
I have a couple of misc. Strata Blue brackets and a power cable. It was part of a gift package from Mutual Truck Parts in Chicago, an old army truck parts supplier of ours.
It had a Rectangular Box 4 feet, 8 inches long, 3 feet, 2-1/2 inches wide, and 4-3/4 inches deep which housed lamps to illuminate warning signals: Stop: Right Turn: Left turn: and the words "Follow Me".
I would like to find one of these kits for a future Jeep project.

Jeepernick,
Just curious. Is that sweet young follow me lady a true vintage piece, or a reproduction?
