I hear you, papakb. COVID restrictions did nothing to help out the show scene, for a bunch of hobbies. The Richmond Frostfest was a great show that I looked forward to going to every year, big show every February, it hasn't returned yet. A lot of little shows have, but reduced attendance...

That's a helluva boat anchor you have there! Those TRC-75s are not too common, and yours looks pretty complete from what I can see. Even has most of the cabling. The TRC-75 was normally mounted in the back seat area of a M-38A1 or M-151 jeep, I believe the Marines mainly used it for...

Hey, I'm making a post the same day as the hamfest, something must be wrong with me. Another small fest south of me in Elkton, VA, a small town a few miles east of Harrisonburg VA. Once again, a small club gathering, VERY small since it was freezing outside this morning, there were only about...

I'm an idiot, I was just going through some pictures and I realized I took some at another show last June and forgot to post them up. Better late than never... June 2022, Manassas, VA. I was a little disappointed at this show - it used to be at the fairgrounds behind the ARNG armory on Sudley...

Went to the first hamfest of the year for me yesterday, it was a drive at over 2 hours for a small club-sized indoor swap meet in Harrisburg, PA. It was REALLY small, maybe 20 vendors, and a lot of stuff I wasn't interested in. However, I bought EVERY MILITARY THING at the meet! Which was...

Another weekend, another hamfest. This was from the Memorial Day hamfest in Howard County, MD, always a good show and good turnout if the weather is nice, and it was this weekend. I bought a few things there, but I made NO purchases of military gear at this show, there were only a few military...

Will be set up in my usual spot(s) with some odds and ends, books and general surplus. Nothing fancy. Be there from Thursday thru Saturday evening. Looking forward to seeing all my friends! Am looking for the following items: 2 x 20mm ammo cans 2 or 3 aluminum medical transit chests, any...

There should be signs on the roads around Graves pointing the way to where the main rally field is. It is in the field across the main road from the lodge. The race is on to get some final issues ironed out with the CUCV, it's in the shop now with some stalling issues that I don't have time to...

Anyone have any good tips or products for safely removing old paint from the rubber parts of our MVs? I have multiple layers of old CARC paint that was just slathered onto my CUCV, and I want to get it off the rubber window seals around the windshield and the back glass without damaging the old...

Those units I did not buy, only some stuff in this thread I purchased, the rest is just a showcase for items I saw at the hamfests.

It's been some time since I updated this thread with my military radio finds at ham radio swap meets, and since now it's a new year and I'm getting back into the swing of things, and starting to visit some more hamfests, I'd like to revisit this topic a little bit. Perhaps get you interested in...

Will get the form filled out and sent in. I've already started tearing into the M1009 CUCV to bring to the rally!

It was great seeing all my friends again at the show, sorry I only got a few hours on Saturday to spend this time around, but new job and not enough time off to spend three days set up there. Saw some great vehicles though, and even got the mini-me to come with and walk around a bit. Love the...

I will be there as a spectator only this time around, on Saturday morning, due to work schedule. I am looking for a few things to complete my M1009 CUCV, need: 1. Spare wheel rim and the associated parts to mount the spare inside the back. 2. RT-524 radio, R-442 receiver, mounts, two...

Make war, not love, it's safer.

Hard to believe those workhorses are 50 years old already.

Someone who will soon be living in it, once the missus finds out what he spend the retirement money on. :LOL:

Good job in being prepared for your recovery! Got any pics of the water trailer in question? Bonus points for pics taken during the recovery....

That's what I might be confused about. Thanks for the info...

Looks great for a 70-year-old truck! It amazes me how long these rigs can last! That bed is a hard one to find in good shape - most have been removed or replaced by now. Anyone notice these "straps" welded onto the sides of the bed at the wheelwell opening? I thought it was more squared off...
