Back in around ‘75, CB was an important part of my Bronco equipment one day while on a solo run in the woods. Mis-judged a situation and ended up on my side. CB was still functioning and I was able to contact a local CB’er and asked him to call my 4wd club and send help. He did and a couple of hours later I was back upright and on my way.
“What we’ve got here, is, failure to communicate.”
I must have built them about the same time as you. My Uncles were a Butler agri. dealer and I put up many a building and grain bin in my younger days. " Fish" was my handle.
I still have a 11 (?) channel Johnson mobile unit. For my high school printing class project I made cards with Dad's call sign and reversed the last two numbers (doh!).
We had one stolen out of our car parked at a restaurant in Indianapolis, mom also lost her purse which she had left under her coat in the seat.
I called myself "Hot Rod" (wink wink) I drove a '72 Maverick with a 302.
I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

I had a White Face Johnson, 5 channel and tube driven and a 200 watt lenier.
Didn't need a big pair of shoes, high in the mountain and could sometimes catch the skip and talk half way around the world.
Have no clue what I did with it, Had a "chicken choker", I gave it to my uncle. RIP.
Black face Johnson was 10 channel.
