When I bought my M35A2 Air Force truck, there was a radio mount under the passenger seat. It appeared to be a RT-524 compatible mount. There was also a speaker installed to the right side directly behind the passenger seat. It’s positioned directly above external power plug.

Sorry to hear that. It’s a beautiful truck, there’s going to be a line of admiring people just begging for a ride... I got the sticker, thanks! Now I no longer have a reason for procrastinating the repaint.

I use a sand blasting media that Menard’s sells. It not very expensive and it strips the paint, rust and everything else that sticks to metal. The sand blaster cabinet was sitting in a drive way with a for sale sign on it. $100.00 got a complete system.

I lucked out and got a top of the line sand blasting cabinet. I can put most parts I can remove from the trucks. I also have a small Craftsman portable blaster. What a mess! I cleaned three parts and stopped. I’m going to come up with a better idea. I’m leaning towards a wooden framed structure...

When I show War Wagon, I mount the .50’s and put ammo boxes in the trays. I leave them that way most of the time, it saves wear and tear on the guns. And no, they are not real. They are replicas I got from an online source. The only time I got pulled over was when I blew a stop sign. The officer...

That is a fantastic idea! Where did you find it?

Good question. I don’t know the answer but I pretty sure they don’t have the WWII spy vs spy radio tracking.

that’s one good looking truck!

Good question. Up until recently, I’d say Denver CO. Unfortunately, Colorado is messing with the rules governing former military vehicles. I’d have to say Cheyenne or Casper Wyoming.

They start out with fines. I don’t recall the dollar amount but you get penalized for every infraction. Basically, every time you hit the transmit button, you commit an infraction. They get really grouchy about “their” band widths.

Some information for dissemination: I’m putting a list together of manuals that cover just about everything military radio. One book in particular is a resource for any and all folks wanting to get into mil-radio. I’ve been going through my stack of parts and can say with some accuracy that I...

I keep hoping for a closer show. Got a bunch of parts to sell/trade and a show would be a good opportunity.

Hi, looked at your mystery bracket but I need a clarification on one of the pictures. Do the two parts I have marked with arrows align with each other? Is there a hole through the beam that links these two parts?

what are you using to fill the holes?

I forgot about this book. Here’s a picture of the dash of an ex-AF M35A2.

Glad to help. GMRS = General Mobile Radio Service. https://www.fcc.gov/general-mobile-radio-service-gmrs. I found my copy of my last license. I haven’t renewed, too many other things going on. I’ll see about posting a sanitized copy so y’all can see what I’m talking about.

All good information, thank you. I have a half a dozen or so “brick” radios. I picked them up at a yard sale dirt cheap. In order to legally use them, I had to get a GMRS(?) license. It was not expensive, it was good for 5 years and I didn’t need to take a test to get it. What it did was make it...

Going for a replica or a tribute or maybe a bit of both? 8

You wouldn’t happen to have a copy of that book would you? Pictures are great, thank you for sharing. My ‘86 1009 is inside the big barn waiting for me to restore it.
