    I have an antenna that needs a radio...

    Adapters are available to fit almost any antenna cable to the antenna base. The mechanical part is easy, the electrical (impedance and SWR) is a little more involved. For that, you need to find an 'elmer' local to your location. That can be done by finding someone in a local amateur radio club.

    I have an antenna that needs a radio...

    That is for an older radio type (60-90's) than current issue. An RT-524 mounted in the cab would be appropriate, but there is a fly-in-the-ointment problem with using them to actually transmit. The only legal frequency for amateur radio is six meters (50 MHz). If it is just for show, then a...

    Second EUC speed?

    Once TSC has you in the system, approval usually takes less than a week, with COVID, it's been a little longer.

    Can soft tops be painted? Where can new tops be found?

    They can be painted with elastometric paint (rubberized stuff that is flexible, such as 'CoolSeal'), then get an overcoat of the correct BEHR paint from Home Depot. The difficulty of finding soft tops is what made me go to all hard top trucks.

    Can’t get this to start…FIXED!!!

    I'm going to let the HH gurus take over this conversation, but From what I've read, putting grease where fuel is supposed to flow is not good.

    Can’t get this to start…FIXED!!!

    If you are not getting ANY fuel coming out of the top of the HH, then the button fell off again. If you are not getting fuel to the correct cylinder to fire, then you have a timing problem.

    Which TM for rebuilding my brakes?

    The -24 and -24P manuals should cover this. They are in the TM section of this site, look under the Deuce, because the M109 Shop Van is just one of the many variants of the M-35 series of deuce-and-a-half's.

    CBC for my M105

    Blythewoodjoe did a similar build about 8 or 9 years ago. I think he put a skylight vent in his.

    You are just over the river from SECO, which has been a good place for me to get parts. JP lives in Aiken and has an 814 ('The Long Easy'). If you don't meet up with the Columbia group before then, join us in the Aiken Memorial Day Parade next spring.

    Looking for videos of your truck in military parades or rescues of civilians

    Here is a You Tube taken from my truck of the Gilbert, SC Peach Festival Parade. It's only a 3 minute clip of one side of the crowd - full thing is 30 minutes for each side. Been doing this since 2015. Local TV station (channel 19, WLTX) should have a video if the Columbia Veterans Day Parade...

    Paint Information (Codes and Sources)

    Depends on whether you want the 'current' green which is 383 green, (FSS 3409? if I remember correctly), the USMC green (FSS 3405? I think), or the old original Olive Drab green, which you will have to find in the Behr Paint threads. There is a list of ALL FSS paint codes there! If you are...

    Anyone interested in heavier duty hydraulic head button retaining clips?

    I would be interested in half a dozen sets.

    No fuel at injectors, after replacing filters. Advice needed.

    Lets see, the fuel goes up from the in-tank pump, to the primary/water separator filter, then across the front of the engine to the low side of the IP. From there it goes to the secondary fuel filters and back over to the high side of the IP (hopefully with the FDC bypassed), goes into the...

    He's only got 30+ acres in that yard, so he really might need some additional parking spaces.
