What are the rules if any, for kids riding in a vehicle that never had seat belts. My son and set grandson would like to go to a cruise in in my M37. The truck has never had seat belts and I cautioned them about it. They, being my son and his wife don't have a problem with it but, what is does...
Another ham here, also
I just got my Tech license in November. I have a PRC77 mounted in my M37. I ran into another ham who transmitted a test at about 30 ft away and I could receiver but, when he tested on transmit on my rig, nothing. I am looking for someone, hopefully in the Cincy Dayton...
lean
I have a 54 that I moved the tire from the rear to the driver's door, after that, I notice that the truck leaned to the left about half and inch. I checked around and found that there is a spacer installed between the springs and axle to comp for the extra outboard weight of the tire and...
Why??!!
When I was a kid in Boy Scouts, my dad was in the National Guard after serving in the Navy in WWII. Our scout troop held their meetings in the local NG Armory and my dad and his friends/fellow guardsmen would drive us to scout camp in Deuces in the summer. Before and after scout...
Tony,
It looks like I have an AB15 base. PL259 connector to BNC? I don't know what length is standard but I only need about a 5ft. max. maybe less. I will have to measure. I'm not even sure this radio works. I got my HAM license a few months back so I could use the radio but, I understand they...
I've found the cable for the power connection to the AM2060, the other cable I have, CX 4723 apparently is used for a VIC intercom which I don't believe I need. Also, I need the coax cable but, I've found a site that describes an antenna tuner control, with the coax cables. Do I need the antenna...
PRC installation
I just examined the J503 cable and there is another tag indicating that it is a 4723/VRC cable. Still don't know if it is needed and where to connect it.
PRC 77 mount in M37
I have a PRC77 I am trying to mount in my M37. I have mounted the MT1029 and have a AM2060. My question is, I have a power cable that is correct and another multipin cable labeled J503. Do I need this second cable for any reason? Also the bottom of the 1029 has two power...
Almost forgot, turn signals and new door glass on right side, also have to install the jump seat. Rerouted the electric fuel pump to the back just in front of the gas tank, installed a marine fuel filter. The PO didn't install the original mechanical fuel pump and put the electric one on the...
M37 upgrades
I purchased my M37 about a year and half ago. It was sitting in a barn and had been "parade driver restored"?? It had new paint, markings, new tires, new wiring, new brakes, engine rebuilt, still 24v system, new canvas. It look really good and I paid a premium for it. I didn't...
I haven't checked out the connections on my slave cable socket but, I'm planning on building a charger box with a Schauer charger I have. I now have to remove the passenger seat and connect the charger. I had one charger go south and Schauer replaced it. Luckily they are in Cincinnati and a 20...
When I bought my M37 about a year and half ago. I had the tranny go out after about 60 miles. The PO chipped in and paid for another tranny. The synchro was demolished on mine when I tore it down to see about a rebuild. I jumped the gun and found an old style one out in WA., shipping was a...
