Maybe "TRUCK ??? GROUND KIT"...

I don't think the ??? can be "AND", as in Truck and Ground Kit

I agree with your 'GROUND' and think it could be 'AND'. 19 set manuals talk about truck and/or ground installations.

Taking what Rob started with, the spacing between words would make Bruce’s idea for the 3rd line being “Truck and Ground Kit” a good possibility.

Is it possible, up to that point, we are just reading the first complete part of the item description?

The second part of the description would then read:

“Installation Kit Line”
“Case 4 of 7”

Could this case then have been part of a kit used to interface an unknown wireless system with some unknown form of land line, telephone switchboard system?
