MoonRunner-01

That makes two of us! I reckon that's why I just love watching the beginning of the episode "Days of Shine and Roses" and the episode "Bad day in Hazzard" when Uncle Jesse is telling the boys and Daisy about back in the old days him and Boss escaped the revenuers from a tunnel under the Boars Nest

He was indeed, he was in one of the earlier seasons of The Walton's. He was kin to the Walton's some how or another. And he was a moonshiner. I think his name was Boone. Long story short. That set of Walton's "Boone's side" is about to get kicked off their land and there is a big police line on one side, and the whole Walton klan on the other. And John Boy gets shot in that episode

I watched Moonshine County Express last night and Dempsey was also in that movie, and as usual he's playing a bad guy haha. I reckon the only time I've ever seen him play a good guy was in The Walton's.

Much obliged cousin Skipper Duke! Looks like quite a bit for Moon runners has changed in some areas. But thankfully some still remains the same

This barn shot worked in '33, I hope it works now!

Good catch! One of these days I'd love to head over into Georgia and check out the filming locations to Moonrunners and The Dukes

I'll switch up sometimes and wear it and then wear a regular buckle, especially if I'm working. Right now I'm looking into have a belt made that's like Luke's from season one.

Cousin Skipper Duke, I believe it is! A 1971 Plymouth Fury. Outside of The General, I'd love to have a 71' Plymouth Fury and a 71' Ford Custom 500/L.T.D In my mind, those are the classic "Moonrunning / Bootlegging" cars of the 70s. The Plymouth is obvious because of Moonrunners, and the 71 Ford because of Uncle Jesse's "Sweet Tilly" and it's the same car as Gator's in White Lightning. I can see myself now, dressed in 70s country attire, behind the wheel of one them beauty's with the trunk loaded down in "water" C.B tuned in, and the throttle pegged to the floorboard on a back road haha.

Welcome to Hazzardnet CNH3201! Luke's bear claw belt buckle is silver with turquoise and coral inlay for the palm and black enamel for the claws. I bought one last year that I had custom made for me, identical to Luke's. I bought it from a company located in Arizona. The company name is called Alltribes Indian Art. They specialize in making southwestern style buckles, jewelry, etc. The maker of mine is semi retired, his name is Jackson. I don't know if he'll be able to still make one, but it's worth a shot calling them. Now I'll tell you, it was very, very pricey. But if he does make one. It'll be made of 100% sterling silver, authentic turquoise and red Coral. It'll look exactly like Luke's and the other member's belt buckle on here. Hope this helps!

If your talking about the Buck 120 General, as far as I know that was the longest fixed blade style knife Buck made. A very close runner up would be the Buck 124 frontiersman. If it is the model 120 General, I believe buck still make em. I might have to get me one, I have it's little brother. The Buck 119 Special.

Your welcome Cousin Skipper Duke!

I can't remember any scenes off hand of Coy and Vance using their knives. But, from the pictures I've looked at they are using Buck Knives sheaths. Buck for the most part, has always supplied a black leather sheath for the 110's and the 112"s and various others. But throughout the 70's and for the majority of the 80's Buck used a silver/nickle closure snap on their 110 and 112 sheaths. Unlike today, they use a bronze snap. Coy and Vance's sheaths are black with a silver snap, and are in the same design as Buck's. So I would say it would be safe to say that they as well used the same knives as Bo and Luke. Other knives from companies like Schrade and Case from that era, usually offered their knives that are of a similar design to Buck's in a brown leather sheath with a different patterning layout. Hope this helps some

Thank you, and your welcome! I am including as well to wearing a knife on my belt. Still do to this very day ha. I guess they figured by the 3rd episode that a good ol country boy needs a knife. Like most folks that carry em, from time to time we might use them as a screwdriver. Bo and Luke included. In the beginning of the episode "Repo Men" Bo uses his knife as a screwdriver to adjust the carburetor on The General. Another good episode I forgot to mention where you can see a good view of the boy's knives is "Return of the Ridge Raiders" Bo and Luke towards the end are talking with the Ridge Raiders and whittling on a stick. This topic brings back so many fond memories of my childhood. Before the days of the Internet and whatnot, my knife I carried around pretending to be Bo and Luke was an old Schrade Uncle Henry LB7. Still have it to this very day.

What I find unique is, in the first 2 episodes Bo and Luke don't wear their knives atall. Episode 3 "Mary Kayes Baby" is when The Boys are seen with the knives for the first time. Along with what others have said on good episodes to catch what knives the boys used. In "Arrest Jesse Duke" we not only get to see what knife Bo is using in that episode "Buck 112 Ranger" easily identifiable because of the curved front bolster. But we also see Luke's knife in the same episode. Luke pulls his knife out to unlock the door to the store the car strippers are using to sell the stolen goods. Luke's in that episode is a Buck 110. Another good episode to catch Luke's knife is "The Rustler's" Luke can be seen using his knife to pick the seeds out of his piece of watermelon. That episode Luke is using a Buck 110 In "Duke vs Duke" and "The Canterbury Crock" Luke is using a Buck 112 Ranger to dig at his finger nails. The easiest way I've been able to tell what knives the boys are using for a particular episode without actually seeing the knife. Is by studying the sheath. Luke is mostly seen using a Buck 110, but on episodes we don't see him using his knife, he is usually carrying a 112 ranger sheath. The 112 sheath is a good deal smaller than the 110. Bo is mostly seen carrying the 112 sheath and seen using the knife.

I really should get into it just for the handiness of it Lol Especially for model builds. I would like to build Cooters Chevelle. But the hood used on the car might be hard to find and I'm not sure if I could find an exact copy of it, so why not learn to build one myself.

That makes two of us. I continued looking at the parts they carried, and they have some parts for the MPC Dodge Chargers. Aswell as a 1/25 Dixie Horns and Compressor

Was looking around and came across this 3D Printing company called ShapeWays. And seen they have parts for the Georgia Era General Lee for Revell's 1968-70 Dodge Chargers

Late October 1977, - Balladeer "Well since moonshine season is just about over with, Uncle Jesse and the boys decided to make one last liquor run" Early in the morning just before dawn. The boys headed into to town to grab 100 pounds of sugar. Uncle Jesse stayed back at the farm to finish grinding up some malted corn he had sprouted a week prior. - Bo "Turns his head to speak to Luke while riding shotgun in the truck and says, Well Luke you reckon we ought to bring Cooter in on this run?" - Luke "I know what you mean cousin, something just ain't feelin right about this run, things around Hazzard have just been to calm lately." After grabbing the sugar. Bo and Luke head over to the garage and meet up with Cooter - Cooter "What cha say lead foot, how's it going Farrah Fawcett" -Luke "Hey Coot, we gotta ask ya something. How'd you feel about helping us out with this run. Something just ain't feeling right and we could use another set of eyes............................................

The General was green in the episode "Southern Comfurts" and Black in "Happy Birthday General Lee" Those are the only times The General was a different color that comes to mind haha

Have you seen the movie Django Unchained? Luke had a small part in that movie as a towns marshall I also saw another movie a while back with Tanya Tucker, Paulie Shore and John Schneider. I cant remember what the name of the movie was but Bo played as a dirty/crooked sheriff

That would be a negative there cousin Skipper Duke ha, I will definitely check YouTube and see if the movie is in there!

I appreciate it good buddy. I'll probably just take some of the styrene left over from the kits and file it to shape and take a pen vise drill bit and drill a small hole in the center to ad the wire

I appreciate that I really do! I try not to think to hard about putting gasoline with 10% ethanol in my tank knowing Uncle Jesse had a hand in it. If it was alright with him then I reckon it's alright with me haha
