Yup, that green machine is a beautiful mid-50s steel pontoon Tucker Model 443 Sno-cat, the original 'Sno-Cat'. Either a 95 or 115HP Chrysler engine. Maintaining the bearings on those roller tracks can be tedious. The pontoons on these old Tuckers can be removed so that wheels can be added for...

Rats. I was in Bangor on Sunday and didn't know about this. aua But the good news is, I may be heading back to that area in a couple of weeks or so to haul off some old snowcat husks. Hmmm, just looked at the museums virtual tour...no snowcats. :-|

You probably can't, but you also don't need to. If you don't want to post anymore, then simply don't post anymore, that's all. I see you got in a bit of trouble recently. Ah well, take your licks and maybe a little break, then come back to show us your new truck. [thumbzup]

The trucks old squadron... 280th Combat Communications Squadron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'll dig out a link to my thread on USAF markings in a moment. Somewhere in that thread are links to the TOs describing USAF markings. But the most important part is the USAF Registration number that should be on your dataplate or on your doors under a layer or two of paint. Do you have that...

Not only will going blue be authentic, it will also stand out from all of the olive drab... and look really, really sharp to boot! For your consideration, Exhibits A-H... Aim high! :mrgreen:

Are you sure? Does that just apply to the deuce? There were strata blue vehicles acquired by the USAF well into the '80s.

Wut, me? :roll: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/paint-bodywork/76781-usaf-strata-blue-insignia-yellow.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/paint-bodywork/93238-fs595c-real-world.html http://www.steelsoldiers.com/motorcycles-atvs/76708-usaf-thiokol-601-a.html

Go blue.

Waiting.... waiting.... hitting refresh.... waiting some more... refresh again... waiting.... :whistle: :mrgreen:

I don't know anything about CUCVs, but I would imagine that a comm radio power bus would be hot with the ignition off. If this is a 12VDC or 24VDC bus, there is nothing to shock you. Just go find your meter or buy a cheapo at your local hardware store and git-r-done.

Original.

I don't have any good pictures of it or even know if this is a factory/original mounting, but here is one on my deuce (as received from 'maddawg308').

The fed-std-595 site is the one I posted in the first post for chips. I suspect the 2yr for new sample requirement/recommendation may be over concerns of sample fading with time and not necessarily due to revisions. Do you have older chips or fan decks you'd like to be rid of? :mrgreen...

Actually, they have the same problem. The UK gov has their BS381c color system that means nothing to anyone else in the world. The rest of western Europe has RAL and RLM. Try going to Maaco to have your German vehicle interior painted RAL 7028/1 Dunkelgeln II without a paint chip!! :roll: These...

I lost count somewhere around 150. The big picture... I think I got lost and started counting trailers or something. Closer to 100...

I started looking into this for a friend in the UK. When she tried to find a supplier or even a sample of Strata Blue/FS 15045 over there for her M38, she had no luck. Shipping gallons from here is a no-go because of HazMat surcharges alone. One option is to find a US supplier that was also in...
