need beacon light

[FrankUSMC]

I am looking for a beagon light to mount on the top of my M530 fire truck. (M35 with fire fighting body) This is the dome style light. Does any one know of a parts truck with one on it? I am looking for a red one, but will go with yellow (convoy). This truck needs to be completed before our Crash, Fire, Rescue re-union this fall.
Thanks for any help.
Not as lean, not as mean, but still a Marine. Frank

Sam Winer in Ohio has the complete convoy light set up, but he also has just the beacons by themselves. They come ready to mount and are nos. About $30.
I had to replace one of mine so I got 2 extra's from him.

I will also be contacting you on a door off your M530 body, plus some other parts. We have not started going full blast on the M530 yet. The young Marine sergeant I got to help me just got back from his 3rd tour of Irac, and had to go home on emergancy leave. I hope to get started next week end.
Please let me know if you want to get rid of the beacon......and if you find yourself in a weak moment and want to sell that Marine front bumper......could trade you a very nice Air Force one.

Frank, just let me know when you'd like the 530 door. Which door do you need? I think I'll hang on to the beacon. I will swap bumpers with you. I'm going to put a winch on it and it would look odd with the paper clips upside down.

You're my hero!

PS do you have all the winch parts?

 

[rice]

I'm missing the bracket that mounts the handle to the floor and the linkage that goes from the handle to the pto, and the lock that holds the handle in neutral. I believe I have everything else. You can get whatever you need, or the complete 530 body, I'd rather see it get used than scrapped. I cut several pipes removing it but otherwise its in pretty good shape

I will try to get all the parts you need for your truck on Monday.
I "might" be going to a school in Spartenburg this summer for 3 days, I will keep you posted on that. I could just pick up that highway that runs to Columbia and stop by. I will take what ever I can get off the body. The compartment doors were a very poor design and had a habbit of braking at the hinge area.
How is the running board on the back? Mine was hit by a forklift driver who drove by "feel".
If I get your winch parts on Monday, they will be down range next week to you.

The bumper is in pretty good shape.

Frank, the light in the picture is in the box. Its a Tripp 12 volt light, needs lens and the band that holds it on. The doors are all good except the rear vertical door on the drivers side is dented.

Rick, I think Darin in PA was looking for some 530 body parts too.... I think originally he was intrested in your whole body, but had not gotten any response from you....

 

[rice]

I had replied to him, but hadn't got a response so I assumed it was too far from me.

 

[rice]

I don't know if I saw his post, the other correspondence was with Eddie in In.

Could you e-mail me at normandy@ec.rr.com
Send me your phone number if you do not mind, this way we will not be taling up space on the net.

Back to lights. My MV buddy Jim gave me a 12-24 volt Whelen Super Strobe 360 C which I want to use as a warning light on the Deuce. It threads onto 1" galvi pipe which fits nicely in 1 1/4" pipe so with drilling a few holes and a pin I can make it adjustable. Two ?'s, you fellas that have them, where did you tap into the electrical system and where can I buy a length of wire that is "precoiled" like a telephone cord so that it will come and go as the light is adjusted up or down.

Thanks,

BC
