Rick,
I would guess that you can get the seat belt stand up thing from any
Chevrolet dealer, although it may not be cheap.
No help on the antenna.
The number you quote seems like it might be a USA number. Where did you find
it? If it was stenciled on the inside of the doors, or under the hood, or on
the back window, it's probably a USA number. That's simply an additional
identification number, assigned by the government, sort of like a serial
number, but in addition to that. Most that I have seen are just a string of
letters, like NGOTWB. 85K 1022 doesn't seem to fit that scheme. I can't
claim any real familiarity with Air Force numbering systems, but I know that
there are List members who can.
You should be able to find numbers stenciled on the front and rear bumpers
that help to identify the unit(s) that the rig belonged to. I understand
that ordinary oven cleaner, sprayed on the paint and allowed to sit for a
few minutes, will allow you to simply wash the old paint off, one layer at a
time. I've never tried this, but it has been recommended by several people
on the List. Not sure how it works with CARC paint. Often, the vehicle will
have been the property of several different units, and each will have
painted their numbers over the previous unit numbers.
Good luck and please keep the List informed of your progress.
John

Subject: [MV] CUCV Seatbelt and stuff
Anyone know where I can get a cheap seatbelt buckle standup thing. ( I know
that is a rather technical term) The standing part in the middle on the
driver's side is crushed and just sorta lays on the floor. Really annoying.
Second is for the radio experts out there: Is a military antenna that would
fit a CUCV antenna mount that operates well in the Low band (42-48
Megahertz) range. I am converting a CUCV to a backup patrol vehicle, but I
would like to keep it some what original.
Third is there anyway to track an old air force vehicle number. Got the
CUCV through the law enforcement program and sorta wonder where it came
from. I sorta think it was overseas. The number 85K 1022.
I am getting into the Mil vehicle thing. I just can't figure a way to
convince the wife I NEED a deuce.
