    Yet another trip to Coleman's

    Coleman's Hey Bud! Could you pick me up a pack of the fiberglass camo net support poles they sell? They come in a canvas bag with 12 sections (I believe) and a couple of spreaders. Catalog price is $19.95. I can come pick them up from you on Saturday, if that's convenient. Thanks!

    License plate lights

    Antique plates I wonder if Antique Vehicle plates are supposed to be illuminated? I opted for the AV instead of a standard truck. It seemed like a good idea at the time!

    Has anyone

    Someone picked one up from Richmond a couple of months back. I was bidding on it, but it went for more than I wanted to pay. I have no idea who got, I'm afraid. Not much help, I guess. :red:

    RC model of an M35A2

    That's a great video!! Maybe we should help him dub in the right sound effects for the engine! I bet if put some more weight in the truck it wouldn't spin the wheels so much. Anyone know where the truck model can be located? I've got an RC transceiver set that needs a job!

    Scrap f4 phantom aircraft

    I used to live in Tucson, no the south side of town. I used to drive my Davis-Monthan AFB all the time and drool over all the aircraft parked in the boneyard there. And there were bunches of scrap dealers all around the place, too. I always dreamed of getting a cockpit to "play" with... I can...

    Ham radios and this hobby, any military radios work for that?

    Hey! I like the idea of getting rid of the passenger seat and putting another "driver's" seat there instead! That would also make room for the cooler, as well as the radio equipment!

    Ham radios and this hobby, any military radios work for that?

    You will find that Ham Radio (aka Amateur Radio) is an extremely fascinating and diverse "hobby." Depending on your interests, talents, time and pocketbook it can be SO much more than a hobby! I've been licensed since 1976 8s, and have dabbled in all sorts of areas of the hobby. Joe, I'm in...

    Other State Defense Force guys using their deuces "for the cause"?

    Thanks for the details on TXSG. From what I've seen, TX seems to have their act together. VA is similar. We're part of the state military, reporting through the Adjutant General to the Gov. One of these days I'll have my M109 set up for commo. That's the main plan, anyway. As a Ham operator...

    Other State Defense Force guys using their deuces "for the cause"?

    I plan on using mine for some activities, but I don't plan on getting a lot of reimburesment for it! But then, I've been donating a lot MORE than time, lately!! BTW, I'm in the Black Horse Brigade, Adam. Which one are you?

    antenna mount

    I'm going to do something completely unorthodox... I'm going to mount a pipe in the gun ring mount on the side of the cab, and put my vhf antenna on that. I'd actually like to get some sort of telescoping mast to put there so that when I'm set up in CP mode I can just run the antenna up.

    What size hose?

    Thanks, Will!! NAPA was closed when I got there this evening. :evil: But perhaps it was just as well.

    What size hose?

    BTW, I'd go measure it, but I'm not at home right now, and the store is on the way!

    M109 Camper Build

    How much of a nightmare was it to remove all the interior sheeting?? I'm not sure I want (or need) to do that to mine, but you never know!

    What size hose?

    What size is the tube coming out of the valve cover on an LDT 456-1D (I think) motor? It's the crankcase breather hose, I believe. I just need to add a rubber extension to the end of mine to bring it down close to the bottom of the engine compartment. The P/N is 10951257, NSN 2815-00-103-5770...

    Looking for a towbar

    Yup, I know they're pretty heavy!! What, 200 lbs or so? The price for shipping doesn't surprise me, actually. Just hard to swallow! I'll post something on the transport forum. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do. Perhaps I'll sell one of them. I've had some interest in one of them...

    Looking for a towbar

    Shipping, "Yikes" is right! I checked the guy on eBay. Besides what I think is a high price, he wants $150 for shipping! Wow! Surely I could find something out in New Mexico, where I'll be collecting the trucks. Or maybe I could just use a bunch o' bungie cords!! :grin:
