Thanks bshupe. With the head set / boom mike concept. For me I think a speaker mounted behind my head would be preferable to wearing a headset. Twelve years with a CVC on my head was more than enough for me. I think concealing a civilian antenna would be my beat bet. I am talking a trip up to...

I have been thinking about this whole CB issue also. It's a great idea and I would prefer one to the $$$ of a military radio. I just have two questions. #1 How can you hear the dang thing inside the cab of your truck. Is there some kind of additional speaker you can add or something. #2 So...

Looks good to me. I'm a big believer in field expedient methods and mods that won't break the bank. I made an entire snorkel for my air breather out of schedule 40 PVC and I think it looks pretty killer. Not to mention I paid less than $30 for everything.

Welcome from Dallas.

Welcome from South Dallas (Waxahachie). Be aware an MV is not a hobby or a pastime. It's an incurable disease.

If you or one of your parents are active or prior military USAA Insurance has some good underwriters. If not try Travelers Ins. They are the ones who insure the big rigs.

Great idea. Thanks I just got the tarp via UPS today I will try that old poly treatment as well. Do you know where I can find it or something like it.

Thanks for the heads up. That's what I was afraid of. It's just a battle of time with these old tarps. I guess the best idea for an outside truck would be to buy a cheap wal-mart tarp to protect the truck bed etc.

The smell takes me back. I just bought a canvas cover for my ride and for now it will be outside kept. Besides not leaving it on all winter is there anything I can do to protect the canvas?

Repaired dented corner bed post, Installed new headache rack lumber, primed and painted new lumber. Also removed drivers seat for maintenance and repairs. I also found a leak on the rear of my transition. I was giving the truck a once over with the grease gun when I saw oil sprayed all over the...

I agree with the "other side of the coin" reasoning. He may have simply been trying to keep from having to save another person. How would it have looked on the evening news if you got into trouble with a load of civilians on board. Of course I would have done the same thing you did. Save the...

Awesome idea. I wonder if you could build one out of those old steel medical lockers. There built the same way and out of the same material as the ammo cans I think. Also in case you can't find your laser temp gauge here is an old Boy Scout trick to measure the temp with the bare hand. Hold...

Islandguydon, Oh ya, I knew that. Thanks for the heads up.

Welcome from a fellow newbie. I'm in Dallas now but wife and I will be moving to Castle Rock after the first of the year. I hope this isn't a conflict of interest with this site but since you are in the central Colorado you may want to check out the Military Vehicles Collectors of Colorado...
