I'll be bringing a bunch of small stuff, military manuals, tools. I'm hoping I can get to Colemans on the way there, to save some stuff and offer it for sale to others at the show. The Dawg House will not be on display this year. Had to take a year off from service in South Vietnam.

Yeah, not in that one either. If I'm wrong and there's a truck at all in that pic, I must need to get my eyes examined....

I don't see any M715 in the first pic, I'm trying but I can't see one in the picture at all.

I'm sure I can come up with a cage-like enclosure for the genset, which will allow air to cool the genset while still preventing anyone without a torch from stealing it. It's all steel and TIG welding, but it's doable.

The contact maintenance trucks aren't as rare as hen's teeth - but they are more uncommon than most MVs. Being what they were, many of the maintenance bodies, after surplus, were transplanted onto civvy trucks for work trucks, etc., and over the years they have gotten scrapped. Few good ones...

If you have to have new ones made, make them out of oak or locust. Oak is expensive, and locust you'll have to get at a local sawmill not a store, but either will last forever.

Didn't say he couldn't, it's his truck, if he wants to drive a dorkmobile, let him drive a dorkmobile.

Dorkmobile.

You're excused, Dudley, but next month you have to show up in one of the toys you work with!

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.
