Well, I'm out - work has reared its ugly head and I can't get out of it. Best laid plans of mice and men.... Have a great time guys....

Already? On a Monday before the show? Sounds like an early start - I hope this isn't one of those shows like Aberdeen that wraps up early, I'm travelling 550 miles and getting there Friday morning, I hope that the show is still jumping all day Friday and Saturday, hate to get there and half...

I called and reserved a camping spot, so all set! Not getting a vendor spot, but if someone wants me to bring them, I have to sell: CUCV M1009 radio rack, goes behind passenger seat, $100 CV-157/URR sideband converter, $300 aluminum medical transport chest, $50 deuce shift levers of all...

I'm there as always!

What's the latest you can reserve spots at Weare? I know for sure I'll need a spot in the camping area, not sure if I wanna get a vendor space or not, I might decide that last minute before the ride up (depends on work, what I decide to bring to sell if anything, etc.).

Might be able to come up and visit for the first time in a couple years in the CUCV. Trying to get off work, though, so not 100% sure I'll be there.

It's looking like a definite that I will be going to this - if anything to get away for a couple days. Plus, I can add three states to my "states been to" list (ME, NH and VT), so it's worth the ride. I wasn't able to attend Haspin last month, and can't make GA rally because of pre-scheduled...

Well, had to get another vehicle since the Dodge is pretty much toast and can't move around much anymore. Knew that camogriz in NY state had his CUCV M1009 for sale along with a M101 trailer for a good price, thought it might be a good candidate for a semi-daily driver as well as a vehicle I...

Wow, you're really doing a number on that dumper. Bet she's going to get a full restoration and every nut and bolt will get the attention they deserve! Looking forward to the girl being put back together, only this time, with FEELING!

They were empty but modified. The only thing in the trailers were the racks and reels for all the stowable gear, which was not there. I think they were probably refits from Tobyhanna. Shawn Coleman having them in central PA would make sense...

Anyone? 2nd time is a charm, I guess.

There used to be a pile of 3/4-ton trailers at Colemans' Surplus that were antenna support trailers. They didn't have an extendable antenna in them that mounted and extended while in the trailer, it was merely a trailer that had lots of cabling, antenna masts, a small genset, and related radio...

I'll keep an eye out for any ads for one online. I've never seen one and I'm sure they are a lot rarer than most WWII radios since they were so large and they were pre-war design. Most pre-war stuff is rarer than the wartime and post-war stuff, mainly due to age. And even if one is found, in...

Need any assistance in trying to track down the original radio gear for this truck?

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!
