Low Level Radiation..............

Just means that the trucks have radium luminated gauges on the dash. Not harmful, unless you tape one to your head for the next 20 years, or lick the gauges.

Mike, I was thinking the same thing. However, if that is the case, why don't all of the truck listings have this warning? I've seen some deuces with the warning and some without...even at the same site.

 

[maddawg308]

Because some don't have the radium gauges. Some are just luminous painted, or not luminous at all. Plus, they can only put the warning if they KNOW that the gauges are radioactive.

There was a guy about 10 miles north of here who repaired and collected aviation gauges. There house and its contents had to be destroyed due to high levels of radiation. A vacant lot existst there today...Bazzar, but true....

maddawg308,

I'm with you, I have the Radiation active sight on my department issued handgun and long gun. I have been carrying them for years. I still got all my hair and ever thing still works as it should and no parks are glowing. But I have not tried to lick them yet.

Just don't put the radar gun in your lap.

I did notice the HAZMAT placard on the front of the truck. Aren't those used on trucks hauling hazardous materials? I've not noticed that on other MVs at auction.

or ammo that kind of stuff.. if it travels on a highway it needs one... thats why some of them have the signs

In the Army, ammo gets the explosives placards, usually 1.X and fuel get the flammable with the 4 digit code.

Don't think they'd advertize the transport of Nukes............

 

[acetomatoco]

How about the poor folks who hand painted the radium dials on aircraft instruments in WWII. They put the brushes in their mouths to shape the horsehair??? Lotsa cancer there....well documented... Remember when all the dials were taken out of the RT 66,67,68 radio sets a few years back...?? etc etc.

This runs along the lines of the warning label on the Dr. Pepper bottle, There may have been a dosimeter in there and it will read the level on the gauges.
On the other side have you tried buying radioactive stuff from the govt it is not easy.
