|
|
Gentlemen: I have a sugar scoop antennae mount that I am planning on mounting on the left rear quarter panel of my M-38. I have seen some different types (model numbers) of antennae mounts for sale and I would like to make sure I get the right one for my body mount. I notice that some have a porclean mount and some have a metel/spring type base. Any suggestions! Regards to all. Dennis. |

The sugar scoop mount was rarely seen on a M38.
You should use a radio set and the correct accessories that matches your jeep and the period of it's service you wish to represent.
The MP50 on the left aft corner of the M38 was most common and the 447 on the spare tire mount was the second most common.
Let us know your intentions and which radios you are using and we will be able to better advise you. _________________ Wes K

Thank you for the advice. The only reason I would want to install the antennae on the jeep is to fly a flag from the top! Would a AB-15/GR base fit on a sugar scoop mount? Thanks, for your help. Dennis/New Jersey |

We've had our M38 in three Veteran's Day parades here
in Van Buren, and we use a one inch diameter pole
attached to the backward slanting part of the top bow
with cable ties to fly our 48 Star flag, appropriate for
this time period. The cable ties are easily cut at the
end of the parade for the trip home, which cuts wear
and tear on the flag. It's worked well for Sara and I.
You might want to try this first.

I have the MP-50 with AB-15 setup on my jeep, works great... I fy 2 flags on the jeep all the time, a US flag and an Oklahoma Flag. Both 12x18 inches... I got them from usflag.com... they come ready to slide over the antenna and then I poke small holes to use small tie wraps to hold them in place...
I onlt use two antenna sections when driving around town, add the lower when on a static display...
I just fold the antenna over to the windsield when puttting the jeep in the garage...
Hope this helps... |

I have a M49 on mine and the differance I found between it and the M50 is that the M49 has a slight angle down to it. I belive as the numbers get lower the angle go's down. This was done by placeing a striaht edge across the top of the brush guard and across the top of the mount. I belive I have seen some where the antenna was almost ten degrees down. |
