Technically, no - the VIC-1 is an intercom system, not radio equipment. It's like closed circuit TV - you can use it within your place, but you can't pick up anyone else. But you get an A for trying. :)
jwaller - nice setup! Looks like a pair of SINCGARS radios, a pair of dummy KY-57...
As I posted in a previous thread, I don't have a hamshack yet, but working on getting gear slowly together that will enable me to set up one in the future, at a different house. This place is nice, but really isn't set up to have a separate room for comm ops. But, I don't pass up getting a rig...
Hopefully it will be back up and running before Haspin 2012. Sorry to hear the truck took a dump, those M108s are pretty schweet, as the Greaseman used to say...
Huey pilot Nomex would be awesome, something different than the normal slant pocket fatigues. If you had the Air Cav hat that would be even better, but no worries. :beer:
Looking for a few good men at Gilbert PA who have a military vehicle or two, restored in 24087 or other period appropriate colors, to display in the Vietnam encampment again this year at Gilbert 2011. We have more spaces than in previous years, can handle up to 2 or 3 more vehicles than we...
I was thinking of a different part, but regardless, Rigid Steel has a lot of the suspension parts for the M416 trailer, as the flat fender jeeps used the exact same parts. Glad I could help.
I think I know what part you are referring to - on one side of the trailer it is right-hand thread (lefty loosey righty tighty) but on the other side it's opposite. Good news is, that part is still made today. Available here for $12.95 each side, partway down the page. I've bought from these...
natem - I see you have an M38 circa 1951, this jeep used radios that utilize this antenna set. MWM has reproduction MP48 bases for $210. It's a lot, but they are primo.
No, I can't I'm behind on my bills and I have to work outside this weekend anyways. I'd be digging the hole more if I made the trip and even then I can't afford anything there anyways. Have a great time guys, see you down the road.
When I restored my old M416 trailer twelve years ago, I beadblasted the springs and the bands weren't that bad a shape, so I left them on. Yours, I can't see from the picture, but if they are very rusted and weak, take the springs to a local spring shop and they can redo them for you for a few...
Some others I saved pictures of - first six are dozers that have been sold on GL over the years, mostly CATs, but one large Euclid. Last pic is of a large restored LeTourneau Tournapull scraper, turned into a specialty carrier for the Air Force.
Well, sorta. Saw this on Wikipedia, picture of a M26 Dragon Wagon Pacific (the unarmored one) working underneath a Saturn V rocket section sometime around 1970. Link below, and a pic. The DW is the large (but small in the picture) vehicle bottom center...
