It's a small world! That makes 2 Steel Soldiers making military vehicles starting this month. atankersdad just started working at BAE making tanks and other armored vehicles.

BPFs and antenna matching units will be a given. Power will more than likely have to be filtered through a power conditioner, or like you said, UPS with similar features. I plan to have several different antenna setups on the outside of the shelter. I don't plan on TXing over multiple freqs or...

Another big hit to the MV community. Sorry to hear of his passing. Is a family member going to be taking over the business? What are the plans for the future?

Gotta put it on hold until early next week - the weather sucks here, raining like cats and dogs and I need to catch up on work-related stuff. Sigh...

Well, changed the oil today in the truck, emptied it out. Looking forward to more parts picking!

That's not a bad deal for a nice truck of that type! How much more for a 925?

The ones I bought had a water pump on it that was useful to someone. Also had plenty of piping and misc. hardware I was able to repurpose. However, unless you have a need to wash tons of clothes, the washer and dryer are useless. They are stainless steel, for the most part, so you can make...

Some good ideas in this thread, thanks! I gave it some thought this past weekend at a hamfest, I believe I will still do a lot of military radios, but will have civvy radios for ease of use plus backups in case I need them. Was also thinking about a couple UPS backup power supplies...

There are a couple 915 frames and cabs in the back. What you need, Adam? jasonjc, you asked before, there are no junker fire trucks there, sorry. HAWKMAN - will check out the S-250 shelters.

Under VA state law, they will pull one wheel per axle, their random choice which. So half of your wheels are coming off.

They will check brake shoe wear, tire tread depth, if any glass is broken. That's about it.

Only GG parts I have ever seen there were stacks and stacks of new fiberglass seat frames. Most of them have been junked years ago. Might try TNJ - he has a couple junkers in his yard and he might have spare parts NOS as well.

The normal stuff, wipers, lights, brakes, tie rod ends and ball joints, horn. Mostly safety related stuff. Because the truck has air brakes, though, you might have to have it inspected at a truck shop, regardless of whether you have it titled as a commercial vehicle or not (you probably...

Want to save some more green iron pieces and misc. stuff laying around his yard. Anyone want to meet up there? If not, anything you need me to pick up? I know formernewmvguy needs me to pick up a couple 6-ton jackstands, that's the only items I know of as of now I need to snag for people....

Relax, I was hoping to get my M416 trailer towable this week, but that's not going to happen this time - work has me busy recently.

I say scrap price and not much more. It needs so much it might be better to save this unit, and part it out to those who need parts, and scrap the rest. Bubba had a big hand in this one's history...

There are a bunch on GL now, but they either have no pictures of the inside rear, or the pics show mostly missing components... Does anyone own one that is complete and uses it as a shop? I see we have some owners, but noone has really said they have the complete setup and run it....

I can't remember the model - there are a couple of them, one is built on a M54-series chassis and another the M809 series. They are gull-wing shop trucks, loaded with a pile of machinery, lathes, drill presses, etc. in the back, designed to be a mobile mechanics and machinist shop on wheels...

Does Kublos have a junkyard part of his yard, where you can pull your own parts? Or is he a vehicle dealer only? Anything else besides trucks and trailers, like misc hardware, general surplus, radio equipment?

The upturned intake mushroom is actually an MWO, there was a write up in PS Magazine some years back. Do a search here and more info can be found...
