Listen up. OEM CUCV starter bolts may not be available but OEM GM 6.5 stater bolts and support bracket are still available. I have worked with vehicles all my life and I used a 1996 Chevrolet 6.5 turbo G3500 van as Model to get parts for the starter bolts, this the support bracket bolt that...
I was at work and I heard someone drive up in the CUCV M1028 we have been beating for 25 plus years. I could hear it coming from a mile away. Anyway he shut it off and went and did some work. When it started it up and drove away I heard the strange sound the starter made engaging. I seen it...
Yesterday was cool and damp. I chose to find a pair of tail lamp harnesses. I actually found many but chose 4 that are in decent shape. I washed and cleaned them. I hung them in my basement to dry and the harnesses I will be re taping before installation. I started thinking in pairs so I have...
On the CUCV and other military vehicles there are 4 red slots of LED light and a single amber slit that lights in the middle when the brakes are applied. Up front each BO lamp on the bumper has 2 amber slits of light. Good Luck with the project.
Like I mentioned the gauge to set them up is discontinued. I saved a few with all the brackets attached so the gauge is not required to install them. Many I seen not working were bent and rusted off. Most times the only malfunctioning ones were on lifted trucks. Have Great Day. Enjoy your weekend.

I needed a helper to install the front bumper and brush guard. That help was here tonight so I took full advantage of the extra hands. Didn’t get a lawn mowed but got parts out of my barn and reinstalled. All need fasteners makes it 3 times easier. Have a Great Day. One day at a time. This one...
Somewhere along the line I ended up with a cracked frame on my M1102 trailer. Not sure how I am going to fix it or if I want to. It must have been like that for a while. I hauled a lot of firewood in that trailer. This is the first one I ever seen broken. Like my Dad used to say I could break...
Today after work I decided to install the steering column and make some progress on my project. I have been dragging my feet for a bit. Column all clean and lubed. Truck all ready for the install. That was not all that bad. I decided to continue on and make more progress. I have a new park...
