So, I have to ask... Why did you choose not to just put the deuce cab on the bus frame and then cut the frame down? Not criticizing, just curious.

Yeah!!!!

Ok, I have not read this thread and I'm just popping in here but have you considered getting one of the 35 amp voltage converters from stonepicker?

I have three super low hour fully functioning 003As to sell...

Someone please pm me an address and phone number for this place.

Actually no, pull the shutoff rod cover and check that first.

Pull the HH

I never had any amps smaller than a palomar 350 high drive, but yes I was one of those big power multiple alternator guys once. At that point it gets real expensive when you let the smoke out.

And the transistors are the same between CB amps and ham amps. You get more power from them in a ham setup because they are operating in the frequency ranges that they were intended for.

Ok, I see. You are drawing more because you are driving all of the 2879s with just the radio, and the linear has no onboard driver. And I didn't realize you were going to use CW.

When everyone is going broke and trying to cut costs, does that surprise you? Lol Our wonderful "Recovering" economy at work.

On mine, when the blackout function is selected, the regular brake lights light up. This totally defeats the purpose of the blackout function. Good for backup lights though.

And 84 amps at only 500 watts is terribly inefficient. Most comparable amps like RMItaly and Palomar products only draw around 30 amps at the same output, and have quite a lot of modulation if driven properly to boot.

"Some" of those amps are dirty. If you have a well tuned and aligned radio that doesn't drift and you have a decent quality amp with good finals then they aren't too dirty. I still have a Davemade 5 pill in my closet. 900 watts of bleed over inducing fun! 1 toshiba 2sc2290 driving 4 2sc2879s...

You are going way overkill man. I used to run a 2500w box driven by my 10m Magnum S-9 and only had two 1000cca group 31s and a 100 amp alternator with a 10 farad capacitor inline. Talk about shutting down a truckstop.

I was kind of wondering why you are going to an eight battery setup. That radio shouldn't draw anywhere near that much power when keyed up. If you are having starting problems you need to find the cause of the drain, not add more batteries.

Are those golf cart batteries?

??? Like a stamped X, or is it cast into it?

Riverside tail lights work great as long as you don't care about the blackout function working.

Silicone sealant.
