Breaker1

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

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!

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.

I'm here! But I'm about to watch some Dukes myself. Enjoy!!

.....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, that era is over. I live close to a major interstate, and a truck stop so I do find some people, but they are few and far between. There are some good guys out there keeping it alive, but most are rude, disrespectful, and do nothing but trash talk. I do believe the cb will be a rediscovered necessity one day. Cell phones and satellites are vulnerable, expensive, and unreliable. Just look at what happened in the Carolinas & East TN with the widespread destruction from the hurricane. People lost all communication, many lost everything, but many still had their houses and vehicles. If they had CB's they would have had communication. Communication in a disaster is everything. They could have found each other, gotten help from each other, had som pieces of mind in knowing that they were not alone while surrounded with uncertainty. Maybe even had the chance to talk to a loved one, one last time before they perished. They would have had, at least, something. Everyone was helpless until Elan brought in StarLink - communication. This thread could power slide through a turn and go all political right here, but I don't think this is the place for that, so hopefully it won't go there. All I'm trying to say is, CB's have always been an important communication tool used by truckers in our supply chain for many years, they were a big part of the foundation of our economy back in the day. Modern technology has successfully pulled us away from reliable technology. One day, we may find ourselves relying on a cb or ham radio operator when all modern communication has gone down. Have a great day guys. I will answer the rest of those questions when I get a chance.

Actually, the General Lee was always my favorite character, and Bo. As I got older I grew to really appreciate the talent of Sorell, James, and Denver. They really gave the show it's greatness, and the fact that they took the younger actors under their wings and passed their craft onto them is just amazing. I really can't express the genuineness of those men, everyone involved really. Together they created something special, they created genuine family. And they all had virtue, family men and women. You never saw them in the news for things like drug or alcohol abuse, wild living, married and divorced every year like most Hollywood stars today. Tom struggles with some things later in life but that's about it. They were all just sort of old fashioned in a way, from a better era. I go by Breaker1 because I grew up in the C.B. era, I have a bit of a passion for them and the era itself. And it comes from the Dukes, of course. Not to mention all the great car chase movies, trucker movies, and sitcoms of the era My dad always had one in the Polara, and I still use them today. I also lived through a second C.B. craze in the late 80s and early 90s where I'm from. C.B. tag was a big thing for a while. Well, it's getting late and I really need sleep, so I'll have to answer the rest of those questions tomorrow. To be continued......

Thanks for warm welcome RogerDuke. Yes, huge fan. That show was my life when I was little. I loved and breathed Dukes of Hazzard back then. Everywhere I went I had two pockets full of Hot Wheels cars. My regulars were the General Lee, Roscoe's squad car, & Boss Hoggs Caddy, others were changed out daily depending on who was passing through Hazzard county that week. I was raised in my dad's 70 Dodge Polara, the same car (squad) that Cooter flipped in episode one. Nobody wore seatbelts back then, so everytime we would go somewhere I would bring a box of Hot Wheels/Matchbox cars and lign them up on both sides of the rear package tray. I would kneel on the back seat and watch my own demolition derby as Dad was driving through town, turning corners. I have always had gasoline running through my veins, and it was put there by the Dukes, my dad, and his 383 powered Polara.

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.

Got ya. I was little, but I remember my dad getting upset every time I would wear out the front wheels so quickly. He was also proud, I could outrun all the kids in the area. I was Bo on those big wheels, in a neighborhood full of Rosco's. I went through so many. My favorite ones all had the hand break on the rear wheel allowing you to do power slides. My dad bought me a battery powered siren that he installed on every one except the General. Man those were good times!!!

Hello neighbor!

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?

Thank you everyone! I'm in Cleveland TN, just north of Chattanooga.
