Hauled this in over the weekend

[LibertyNT]

Managed to get this 8-foot dish from a friend in the local WISP company.
Cone Says "Home Cable", all the motors seem to still work on 12V despite being 24V.
Has a California Amplifier motorized LNB.
Supposedly the dish sat unused since the 90s on a roof.

Looks to be in good shape!

Have one of those out in my barn,they're actually 7.5' if I remember correctly.

Oh and nice truck

 

[LibertyNT]

Good to know! I measured it out and it was at 7.5, I was afraid I had warped it. Mesh is in pretty good shape, only a few hail dents that I can push out with a finger.

The dish and pickup are probably nearing the same age, the truck is an 82 Chevy C10.

The old school chevys. 350 cubic inch v8 with a Quadra jet 4 bbl carb. I remember the sound those made when you opened the throttle.

My '68 GTO Judge made that same sound, squealing rubber

It does have an extremely satisfying grumble. You described my powertrain perfectly, I'm a sucker for keeping things stock so its got the 350 with the Q-Jet. The motor itself is actually aftermarket, the original motor was a 305 with that junky Electronic Spark Control. The previous (original) owner did the swap. Has the Turbo-350 transmission, even has the factory radio. Did just get it repainted a few weeks back.

Always liked the older Chevy trucks. Still have a '76 as a service/fuel truck. Still runs great.
My '93 hauls satellite dishes.(to stay on-topic!)
