Hi, looked at your mystery bracket but I need a clarification on one of the pictures. Do the two parts I have marked with arrows align with each other? Is there a hole through the beam that links these two parts?

what are you using to fill the holes?

I forgot about this book. Here’s a picture of the dash of an ex-AF M35A2.

Glad to help. GMRS = General Mobile Radio Service. https://www.fcc.gov/general-mobile-radio-service-gmrs. I found my copy of my last license. I haven’t renewed, too many other things going on. I’ll see about posting a sanitized copy so y’all can see what I’m talking about.

All good information, thank you. I have a half a dozen or so “brick” radios. I picked them up at a yard sale dirt cheap. In order to legally use them, I had to get a GMRS(?) license. It was not expensive, it was good for 5 years and I didn’t need to take a test to get it. What it did was make it...

Going for a replica or a tribute or maybe a bit of both? 8

You wouldn’t happen to have a copy of that book would you? Pictures are great, thank you for sharing. My ‘86 1009 is inside the big barn waiting for me to restore it.

I checked my sticker/decal collection and I don’t have any.

I know the one you’re looking for. I don’t think I have one but I’ll check my stash. I’ll also poke around some sources. Might find one...

Give me a couple days to get them opened up and I’ll post some. Anything in particular you want to see?

Nice! I’ve got a bunch of antique tools. About half of which are family heirlooms. There’s tools that date back to the 1850’s. Dad said there were all the tools needed to build a house... the old fashioned way.

My trucks all have purposes. One supports the local Marine Corps Reserve Toys For Tots (T4T) program. The closest Marines are a Reserve unit out of Denver CO, which is 3+ hours away and they’re never home (always deployed). I am a Marine Veteran and helping the T4T program and I considered it a...

My 1972 M35A2, formally North Dakota National Guard, had one installed when I bought the truck. Over the course of several years, I’ve located a few cylinders. I have a couple I keep for those days when nothing else works. Well below freezing and I hate standing in the cold, scenarios. I’ve no...

As a foul mouthed Marine, I am constantly catching myself dropping every known filthy word in the English language. It’s helped me out a couple times and got a bit of trouble in others. I worked on a crashed Canadian Helicopter in front of a very large airshow audience. There were moments of...

I figure out two ways to put the seats back in the truck by myself. I’ll usually us the tractor and rope to sling them up and then climb up and guide them into place. Once the seats are started, the tractor will take up the load. Option two is used when inside one of the barns. Using block and...

I can’t recall, where did you get the tires? Never mind, I found the entry...

Looks real nice! I’m saving some of your pics so I have examples for my truck. I remember the Skillcraft name. It was on just about everything in the system back then. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve got a box or two of the pens somewhere in the pile of stuff.

TM? We’re supposed to use TM’s? Shucks, I was doing the old tab a in slot b.

I’m also looking for bits and pieces of the hot water heater. I’ve got a complete set of parts set in excellent condition. Now to get them installed...

What other size tires does Summit carry? I’m looking to replace the fire truck’s tires with NDT/NDCC or other period correct tires. The size I’ll need will be 7.50x20. Looking good on those rims!
