I've heard great things about this rally! Love to go if I can get my ducks in a row vehicle-wise by then. Plus, I bet July in NH is a LOT better than July down here in the south!

Been awhile since I updated this thread - been going to hamfests but I've been saving up as much as I can for a CUCV so I haven't been buying much at all. Did save this item at the Manassas VA hamfest this past weekend. Set of crystals for the BC-659 WWII jeep radio set, this lot included...

That truck is worth about $2K to $2500 in scrap value, I'd offer $3K and see what he says. Odds are you meet in the middle, and it'd still be a fair deal IMHO. The M-62 wrecker was a beast and earned its keep throughout the Cold War. That hood is definitely a Memphis product. Looks stupid...

I think a pool filled with EvapoRust would cost more than the CUCV did. And after 24 hours of soaking, you'd have a cab and some misc. pieces of sheet metal floating in the pool.

Finding an original bed, and some other sheet metal parts, would be fun. And I'm being sarcastic. But even if you plan on keeping the water tank on, and running it non-stock-looking, it would be neat to see her all painted up OD green and driving again! Great save!

That ship needs some zinc anodes on it BAD!

Read. When you're done with that, read. And then, try reading. The amount of data out there on radio operations and engineering will stagger your mind. Entire libraries are filled with radio-related texts, and that's only the beginning. The more you learn, the more addictive the hobby...

There was an original 6x6 version of the M151 jeep called the XM-408. If any originals still exist, I couldn't tell you. TNJ Murray made some clones of them for a while out of parts units. Here's one I snapped a picture of at ollied's place last weekend, it was built by Pizzoferrato. Ollie...

The M37 I took to Haspin in 2010 got mud bogged a little, I sold it in 2012, and the guys who bought it found still-moist Haspin mud in the bed frame rails earlier this year when they tore it down for rebuild. The slick Indiana mud REALLY lasts!

Well, guys, I'm probably out, and for several reasons. The stack-up of inconveniences preventing me from showing up is now near insurmountable, so unless things go PERFECTLY for everything in my life next 10 days, I won't be able to make it. Biggest thing on the list is finding a replacement...

My opinion is, if the price is fair, get it even if you are not really interested in restoring it yourself, as long as you can afford it and your wife won't kill you. Post here in the classifieds to get it a suitable home, someone who loves CCKWs and wants to give it a caring home. Sometimes...

Been a couple weeks since I could spend any time on this site, been working like a nut, which is a good thing. Always a great time had at Aberdeen. The friends are always a joy to see, the weather was great, the auction on Friday is fun, and got to relax and sell some odds and ends at the...

Will be set up around Yellow LM2, same as past couple years, I believe, Dudley knows my exact spaces. Will be there from early Thursday morning to late Saturday afternoon. Will have some military radio gear, WWII to 1980s, for sale. Some odds and ends, but not a lot like in previous years...

Those are cool, but I wonder if they know what they can get for them if they take them down from there and list them here in the classifieds. With what I see above, I'd be surprised if they could get LESS than $10K for the lot.

MORE PICS! Looks like it was a great show again, sorry I had to miss it due to work. Hopefully I'll get to see a few of the NJ/NY guys in Aberdeen in a few weeks....

You hang out with people at the rally? I always thought you were back in your little hidey-hole away from everyone else because you're such a people person. ;)

A few I scanned for those who have the biggest 4x4 in the MV world. Recovery and wrecker operation training manuals for the M553 GOER, from Aberdeen Ordnance Center, MD, 1984.

Will bring a tray of brownies for you then.

Proof that China will copy anything (sorta) to make a couple bucks. Thanks for the review.

I hope it's just as fun a time as ever! Won't be the same without Stretch, though. "Personal tune-up", huh? We used to call them hookers back in the day... :)
