That is a fantastic idea! Where did you find it?

Good question. I don’t know the answer but I pretty sure they don’t have the WWII spy vs spy radio tracking.

that’s one good looking truck!

Good question. Up until recently, I’d say Denver CO. Unfortunately, Colorado is messing with the rules governing former military vehicles. I’d have to say Cheyenne or Casper Wyoming.

They start out with fines. I don’t recall the dollar amount but you get penalized for every infraction. Basically, every time you hit the transmit button, you commit an infraction. They get really grouchy about “their” band widths.

Some information for dissemination: I’m putting a list together of manuals that cover just about everything military radio. One book in particular is a resource for any and all folks wanting to get into mil-radio. I’ve been going through my stack of parts and can say with some accuracy that I...

I keep hoping for a closer show. Got a bunch of parts to sell/trade and a show would be a good opportunity.

Hi, looked at your mystery bracket but I need a clarification on one of the pictures. Do the two parts I have marked with arrows align with each other? Is there a hole through the beam that links these two parts?

what are you using to fill the holes?

I forgot about this book. Here’s a picture of the dash of an ex-AF M35A2.

Glad to help. GMRS = General Mobile Radio Service. https://www.fcc.gov/general-mobile-radio-service-gmrs. I found my copy of my last license. I haven’t renewed, too many other things going on. I’ll see about posting a sanitized copy so y’all can see what I’m talking about.

All good information, thank you. I have a half a dozen or so “brick” radios. I picked them up at a yard sale dirt cheap. In order to legally use them, I had to get a GMRS(?) license. It was not expensive, it was good for 5 years and I didn’t need to take a test to get it. What it did was make it...

Going for a replica or a tribute or maybe a bit of both? 8

You wouldn’t happen to have a copy of that book would you? Pictures are great, thank you for sharing. My ‘86 1009 is inside the big barn waiting for me to restore it.

I checked my sticker/decal collection and I don’t have any.

I know the one you’re looking for. I don’t think I have one but I’ll check my stash. I’ll also poke around some sources. Might find one...

Give me a couple days to get them opened up and I’ll post some. Anything in particular you want to see?

Nice! I’ve got a bunch of antique tools. About half of which are family heirlooms. There’s tools that date back to the 1850’s. Dad said there were all the tools needed to build a house... the old fashioned way.

My trucks all have purposes. One supports the local Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots (T4T) program. The closest Marines are a Reserve unit out of Denver CO, which is 3+ hours away and they’re never home (always deployed). I am a Marine Veteran and helping the T4T program and I considered it a...

My 1972 M35A2, formally North Dakota National Guard, had one installed when I bought the truck. Over the course of several years, I’ve located a few cylinders. I have a couple I keep for those days when nothing else works. Well below freezing and I hate standing in the cold, scenarios. I’ve no...
