I can barely tell the difference in the park lamps between LED and standard bulbs. The B/U is the big difference. I am going with LED because of the heat difference and the amperage draw . I may call it a day at this point. I don’t want to over do it and rush into things. I guess the rear...

Just a little bragging pictures of the under side of my M1009. This makes me think to take my time and do it right the first time. If it were out on the road it would be getting packed with dirt and dirt causes rust. These are the correct screws for the tail lamp lenses. Many have standard...

This is a start. LED on right standard on left.

It is raining here in Pennsylvania. We need the rain I need to keep mowing the yards. But we do need the rain. I bought a new Stihl electric mower. I am always a tester guy. I had the first diesels back in the late 70”s and still have odd diesel powered equipment. Log splitter and Jaw crusher...

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...

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...

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...

No way am I spending that much on a piece of glass. Be real about it. Does it matter at this point in time. It is a glass and I can see thru it. Purpose served. Have a great day. I have scratched and sand blasted glass. The OEM windshield was perfect with the exception of wiper marks. It was the...

Today I bought a new rear window for my project I have a new windshield also but I have new rubbers and want to wait for warm weather when I can let the new rubbers set in the sun and get warm. Picture posting issues again. Have a Great Day. Made in Ohio by a Chinese company. Nice new glass.

I am back up in northern Pennsylvania working on my rock crusher. I took a break from work to travel a bit. First trip I left and stayed over night since I lost my Wife. Going well I will get some pictures. I met some new friends along the road. Fed them some grass and pretzels. They were very...

Today I want to talk about the Pivot Rivet for GM wing vent windows. Yes it is a real thing and I bought a box of 50 of them from Walmart.com they are made by an old OEM fastener and trim company that has been around for years and has all the cool stuff that is hard to find. Nice little piece...

So you can send them out and have them rebuilt.

So you can send them out and have them rebuilt.

But it is only for the patient and brave. If I was being paid to do it, I would walk away. Maybe I can get good at it and provide a CUCV wing vent overhaul service.

This picture shows window frame with the new rubbers installed before the vent glass is attached. This is the completed right wing vent assembly ready to install. This last picture shows my OEM left wing Vent with the chrome handle and the chrome outer button on the glass. I had to buff down a...

Anyone that is not patient and persistent should not involve themselves in over hailing the wing vents. These are the 2-piece design and let me tell you they put me thru 3-4 hours to do the passenger's side only. I feel I learned a little but not much. I must do the driver's side but sure am not...

I was looking at my own post and seen I did not post the picture of the new turn signal switch. Everything is nice clean and new. Happy. Started on my wing vents. Painted and drying at the moment. Take Care.

Today after work it was not a very nice day outside so I completed the steering column in the basement of my home. I bought a tube of white lithium grease and cleaned and lubed every moving part. I installed a new turn signal switch because I had several and thought may as well change it, I...

After church I went to the basement and looked at my steering column rebuild project. I was dragging behind looking for parts and I finally have them Al together. I was looking hard for the OEM parts I knew I had. I am finding many things I forgot I had. I have everything clean and now want to...

This is not a huge step forward but it is progress in the right direction. At least the bumpers are in the same room as the M1009. This gives them time to get better aquatinted before being permanently attached to each other. I am braving the cold and doing some organizing. Finding lots of...
