I decided to use this Grant and Black Cat in the Circuit Rider. I also have a NOS Hustler Mirror mount CB Antenna that I will be using.

I loved those old Black Cats.

This was awhile back... the Kris is a more unique CB and the Gray amp was to go to amp back in the day ... plus this Grant Amp is in much better condition and better looking. I have gone through several radios in selecting which radio that I wanted to end up with.
The Grant though is a very good radio.

Those would be 6V so you would have to use a voltage dropping resistor.

My FiL had air horns like that on the truck we now have, but they didn't work, so I tossed 'em. They were 12V though, probably from Pep Boys.

Good to know, thanks

He finds a newer cb in a trash can at a swap meet brings it home and low and behold it works great.
I collected 3 vintage ones so far and none of them work
I'll get lucky one day.

But anyway we ran through a flea market being pressed for time and I spotted this one. The fella thought it was lined with gold so I didn't get it but I thought the box was cool.

Realistic (Radio Shack) sold a lot of quality CB radios ...

Luv the wheels

This was in a 67 SS Impala I took it out myself. I was planning to install it in the Ramp truck but its not going to work out with the 4 speed. Just not enough room for it to fit and be able to operate it. 1 picture is it in the car before I started taking it out. Rest of them is after I cleaned it up and refurb it.

Altimeter and GM accessory tie downs for the stake pockets

[68 C10 Driver]

This Pace 144 is going in my 68 C10.

[special-K]

I always thought an altimeter would be cool in a truck.

How about a Sport Grip steering wheel cover? I've had this one since '89. This is the second truck and second steering wheel for it

[VWNate1]

Wow ! .

I am loving this thread .

I'd forgotten I have an old 23 channel Pace CB radio deep in my garage....

Too bad the '67 Impala wasn't able to be restored .

I like this old underdash AC units, they nice for vintage Hot Rods without chopping up the stock dashboard .

Brand "F" had some really good underdash units in the late 1950's and early 1960's....

[MAC71Cheyenne]

Way cool, no pun intended, AC unit Andy.

[MAC71Cheyenne]

Got a few but haven't had time to dig them out yet for show. CB, plug in spot light, maps, key fobs, DX gas service tab holder n tags...
This thread super. Just the information gained is gold for sales 'junk' piles.

I'd love one of those!

I can't believe no one has commented on the brand name of those vintage Delco shocks!

That one came from a CO pickup. Rocky Mountain high.

Love the Sport Grip covers. Just sewed one on the Blazer wheel. Tough to find the 17” vintage ones.

A word of warning :

I have vintage maps and other little things I've had for 50 years, I like to lay them on the seat at the show & shine or wherever so others can enjoy them too ~ I learned the hard way that if you leave the windows cracked on a hot day, make sure there's insufficient space to get a hand / arm in as they'll watch you and reach in and STEAL the instant your back is turned .

I now only leave 1" open and the vent wings locked .

Zooey (my 1970 Chevrolet C/10) was originally purchased by a Phillips 66 station, would this be an accessory? It's the 1970 Phillips 66 Philcheck Service Guide. This book told you everything you'd need to know about servicing everything common on the roads back then for F**d, IH, Oldsmobile, Vw bugs, AMCs, Mercurys, Imperials, Plymouths, Jeeps, and Chevy Trucks. It told you where to grease em up what kind of spark plugs they took, what engines they had in em and what their firing orders were too plus more.

[VWNate1]

I'd say so , yes .

Yeah, the altimeter would be just a novelty around here (Back East) but a handy device in the western mountain states where altitude fluctuation can be an actual factor in performance on a given day

[VWNate1]

These were very popular in the 1960's and 1970's ~ I used to find them on junked camper specials all the time, the lenses were always yellowed and cracked making them worthless to save, dammit .

Wheel spinners anyone? Chrome headlamp screens?

Both very cool, but I like the screens the best.

[DeadheadNM]

I might bolt the screens on the k20. I’d like to see some screen equipped trucks.
