Hmmm, I think I have a power supply and several mounts.

What are you still looking for?

I had the problem you described many years ago. I had a 1967 Toyota Land Cruiser. It idled fine, filters were all good. I finally chased the problem to a blown head gasket. The gap on the head gasket only became problematic when I was pulling a load or climbing a hill. Changed out the head...

There is one in Dubois. They have a quad .50 gun truck. It’s not built to any specific truck, but it sure looks nice! A friend took these pictures which were taken inside the soon to open museum. It was scheduled to open around Memorial Day weekend. Not sure how the current brouhaha is going to...

Time to bring Proud back to its home, with PapaBear.

...from SE Wyoming, Oohrah!

I grew up in Pendleton. What part of town do you live in?

I gave your pics a good looking over and you are in luck. There is a 90 degree gearbox on the tail. This, hopefully, indicates you have an intact drive train. Also, the primary servos and main transmission are installed. You’ll need to find/install a mast, a swashplate and scissor assembly and a...

Here’s some info. The Huey M or Mike model started out as UH-1C. This helo was built in 1966 and was given the serial number 66-15234. My primary source of information only states that it was converted to UH-1M. The UH-1C was used during Vietnam mostly as a gun ship. If you can find a data...

I need to learn that skill. I’ve got holes in the fire truck that need filling.

Lots done today. Finally got the windshield removed. Also got the driver’s side step removed. I can really see the crunched corner now. Decided to remove the headliner, just because. What a mess! Dang rodents poo and pee on everything then build a nest on to of that! I think that was the last of...

Are there any data plates on the dash/glove box/door posts? It’ll help a great deal to see those plates, regardless of where it was built/owned. I pulled this pic from the web. Look familiar?

Almost forgot. I like to give my trucks a “mission”. One is the Toys For Tots truck, one is the Vietnam War gun truck tribute, and one is my LtCol Ken Bourland/Air Force Rescue tribute. I’ve been tossing ideas around and think I’ve found a mission. Every day, on average, 22 veterans commit...

I’ve been stripping the white paint off the cab. I’ve tried several different ways to get this done but none were very satisfactory. Now I’ve gone old fashioned. Got out the electric drill and dug around in the sanding cabinet till I found one of those rubber disks that you remove a screw and...

I stay almost exclusively at KOA’s. The only time I can’t stay at one is by my procrastinating too long for reservations. I’ve seen every type of moving vehicle at these parks. In fact, they’re usually booked out months in advance for real popular places such as Yellowstone. I haul a 30 foot 5th...

Not sure what ship it was. I think it was the Inchon but I’ll have to ask one of my friends who went on the trip. The first two were taken in 1986, 6+/- months after I left the Marine Corps and three months after I joined the Air Force. I would have been on that trip if I’d re-enlisted. The...

Back in my day, we still had the A model. Big pain in the tookus but I learned how to be a mechanic and I had the best teachers in the world. My bird was 487.

Woot woot!!! I’m in heaven! My old squadron dropped by the local airport. Haven’t seen these guys in decades. One thing never changes: if it ain’t leaking, there ain’t any oil left. Pics:

Interesting information. Wish I’d seen this before my experiment with my 7778. Oh well, live and learn. The question I have is what can I use inline to provide circuit breaker protection for my radio and Vic-1? I have these circuit breakers. There’s a 30 amp, 25 amp and 3 15 amp circuit...
