The "Mighty Mite" cap style light duty truck. This little guy can
solve a big problem. It can be hard finding a small truck. Not anymore. It caps
over a small diameter pipe or pole. Cast aluminum no-rust design with no-rust
nylon sheave pulley wheel. It accepts the same ball, eagle or other ornaments as
our other trucks. They call it a 1.25" diameter truck, but as near as I can
measure it has a 15/16"
inside diameter. Its two set screws would give you some room for error. Also
fits inside of a 15/8" ID
pole. It might be just the thing you need for that do-it-your-self home made
flagpole. #MMT $21.95

This flag adapter is great for you guys doing the old classic light pole conversion. Aluminum light poles can be a great find. Usually the story is that you wind up with one for free or very little money. The tough part is, the top diameter is usually too large to accept a cap style truck. And the top is never threaded to accept a threaded style truck. Well, here is the solution to your problem. But light poles are a great deal compared to what a flagpole of that quality would cost. The investment in parts is well worth it. |

Flagpole Cap
Got yourself a big old piece of pipe, tree trunk or some other thing you're trying to convert into a flagpole? If you already have a pulley or for some reason you do not want a truck with a built in pulley, this cap fits on a pole like a hat fits on your head. And it will accept a standard ball or eagle on a threaded half-inch spindle. Comes in two sizes |

Question: How many trucks on an army base?
Answer: Only one. It is on top of the flagpole. All those other things are vehicles!
Then one of my readers in uniform sent this correction:
"First of all, they are posts, camps or garrisons but never bases. I am
stationed at ---/---/--- of _______. We have two trucks on our post. Just
thought you’d like to know.
My Response:
>>lol. I love it. Thank you for the
correction. Your thought is also correct that I very much want to know and to
get it right. Please see our trucks page where this new information has been
posted and forgive this civilian's lack of military experience. To us, the
protected, you guys work on bases and have guns that shoot bullets. Plus when we
send you mail, you have extremely unusual mailing addresses.<<
