Breaker! Breaker! Calling all citizens of Hazzard County! I am looking for information on any, and all CB radios used in the tv series. Bo & Luke had a Cobra 78X in the General, but I don't know what everyone else used. I have always planned to search the episodes to put together a complete history on this, but I have yet to do so. I am going to start with episode 1 to see what I can find. Please add screenshots if you can. Looking for pictures and info on the radios, mics, antennas, and base stations shown throughout the show, and movies. Thanks everyone!

Yes! In fact, I already had a post ready for the facebook page next week about "Flush", the "stunt dog".

Forgive me y'all, but I just found this site. I've been watching The Dukes of Hazzard since it first aired (I was 7), and have been an absolute fan ever since! I grew up in a Mopar family and have had my share of of muscle cars. I drive/own only Mopar, and the 1969 Charger has always been my favorite, I've had a couple of them. Anyway, most people on the show who come to Hazzard county, are just passing through, but I plan on staying for a while. Looking to rub shoulders with some like-minded people on here. I hope I can give at least as much as I get on this site. Thanks in advance for puttin' up with me! Keep it between the ditches y'all!

I used to like the sign in the bar just outside Boss' office that said "I would give all my fame for a pot of ale and safety.", but that doesn't answer your question. BTW. It's a quote from Shakespeare's Henry V, Act III, Scene 2.

There have to be some CB radio enthusiasts out there- anyone ever pay attention to the CB radios used on the show? I'm sure somebody has pegged the kind used in the General Lee, but what about other characters? The patrol cars, Jesse, Cooter, Daisy, etc.? Also, the CB base stations at the Duke farm, etc. I'll start off: I have only looked into one, and that is the base station used in Cooter's Garage. Its a radio shack REALISTIC TRC-432 NAVAJO CB base station (with the brand name blacked out with black tape). From what I can tell, its the same kind throughout the series, but I could be wrong on that. He does use a couple different types of microphones though. Mark

Thanks HossC, that's a good start! I will check those out.

GOOD 'Ol Boys

There are a few models listed in other threads, some with pictures: Cooter apparently had a Radio Shack REALISTIC TRC-432 NAVAJO CB base station https://hazzardnet.com/forums/topic/5960-cb-radios-on-tdoh/ This thread shows the Cobra 77x, 78x and the Sharp 40 Channel https://hazzardnet.com/forums/topic/6050-which-cb-radio-was-in-the-general-lee-in-the-tv-series/

I know this is an old thread, but I know it can be done, I've seen it. The guy I sold my old Charger to restored it and turned into a General Lee. He had magnets made for all the decals. I know he drove it to our local shows without them blowing off, I don't know if he ever drove it on the highway. This was back around 2008-2010.

I bought mine off ebay years ago. Mine has the black base.

3 Plaques in Boss' Office.....1. One bad Turn Deserves Another, 2. Do unto others before they do it unto you........I can't remember the last one....can you guys help me??

.....Ok, back to your questions RogerDuke. I don't have a favorite season, scene. or episode. I love them all. Who else has that much video footage of their favorite car other than 1969 Dodge Charger fans? Not to mention all the other Mopar cars and trucks. I guess I tend to shy away from the Coy & Vance episodes, just because they're not Bo & Luke. When I was little, I was devastated when Bo & Luke left, I still watched every episode in anticipation of them coming back. It was a very long and painful wait. But then they finally returned, I mean, the angels were singing and heaven was shining down on me again!!! The only cast member I have met is John, which is sad because I don't live very far from Cooters Place in Pigeon Forge TN. Some of the others show up there once in a while. With our schedule, It's just difficult to get there when they are there. As far as toys go, I do still have some of them. And I have some stuff that I got from John. When I was a kid I was loaded with Dukes stuff, I had the bedding set, curtains, waste basket, tv tray, cereal bowl set, dinner set, pj's, wallet, watch, belt buckle, tee shirts, activity books, posters, model cars, and countless toys. I wish I still had all that now. Man, now I need to watch some Dukes!!!!

Yes sir RogeDuke! I will do that. I have not had the chance look around much. I was tempted to comment on a couple of threads but I didn't because they were old. On some of the Mopar forums that I visit, they seem to discourage that, at least that's my take on it. Thanks for the nudge. I see wise ol' uncle Jesse on your avatar, is he your favorite character? I will get to the rest of you questions one of these days. Sorry for the delay.

Yes sir, every Friday night at 7pm. Right after was my bedtime. I remember climbing into bed and hearing that stupid theme music from Dallas come on in the living room. I could never figure out how my mom could watch such a lame evening soap opera, especially after all the high thrills of the Dukes.

Nice! Well, give or take. I don't know about you, but I burned up a General Lee big wheel and a few others while tearing up the sidewalks in my own little Hazzard County back in the day. Did you watch the Dukes back then, during it's original airing?

Welcome to HazzardNet!

Thank you! Glad to be here! 😄

Welcome to Hazzardnet! It's always great to meet a Dukes of Hazzard fan.
