I am always looking for period correct add-ons. Coolers, oil cans, gas can, anything. Will post pictures at a later time of what I do have in her.

This is my newest addition ...

This Model Radatron was their 1st entry into the Radar market and I believe the very 1st entry into the commercial market.

NOS Craig Pioneer Speakers which will match well with my NOS Pioneer 8 Track Player

GE Transister Radio 60's - the red plaid will go will with my dark green interior.

Sun visor.... I believe "period correct". Never seen another like it.

Love that old school period stuff. Grew up with a lot of it to include my Mom navigating by a lap full of folding GPS systems. Us kids knew not to bother Mom and Dad when going thru some of the bigger cities when traveling.

I do have this period correct CB unit made by the Amphenol Corp in mid 60s. Not sure if it works or not but it does light up when hook a ground and a power wire. Without an antenna, which I don't have, it's not advisable to "key" the mike under power. Cool looking piece from back in the day. It is for sale in the parts forum if any one is interested.

This is an excellent idea! I have a lot of neat old maps. Ill have to look at the dates on them though. I think they might be too old, possibly the 50's

Maybe, but I'm sure people who bought new 1969 vehicles just pulled their GPS maps from their 50s vehicles only to use in their new vehicle. all's good....

**michael bustamante** · 02-18-2020, 06:12 PM

So I have 2 of these but I had this in the truck with me now.. solid mtal casing.this one is aftermarket but I have a slimmer GM one at home. I also have two compasses the GM one I always see for sale on here and an aftermarket one shaped like a rocket. .
Can anyone tell me if these searchlamps are period correct?
Oh and that's an old walkie tLkie from Sears I found cleaning out grampas garage...

Here are a few mostly period things I found lately for the 72 Jimmy. Hickey winch, Desert tank and alloy Jackman style wheels which just got the tires mounted.

Here's a couple of items that I'm putting in my Forestry truck rebuild.

Good music choice! Hank always sounds better in a 503 truck.
