Is a scarp heap a fancy Redneck name for the scrap pile?
No, no, no. It's a place to park trucks. Like this.

Im going crazy waiting for the 86 1009 to get delivered,so much nicer than my 85.Someone at the fire dept. liked this truck.They put a chrome bumper with original brush bar,chrome mirrors,chrome wheels,all windows in back tinted,Not a fan of chrome on a 1009 but its a really nice looking 1009.And its still 24v/12v. Two silver dollar size rust holes and maybe a foot of rust in normal spot lower tailgate.

Just completed (almost) a Behr camo paint job on my M1031. The most of the green went on with a Wagner sprayer, and the brown and black and some green went on with a 1 1/2" brush. I got the truck a couple of months ago and started attacking the surface rust on the cab with sanding and Rustoleum primer. Here are the before photos.
That brown on the hood is rust, not paint.
Mostly finished product:
Still need to paint and reinstall the grill and the water can holders on the rear. The photos of the top and hood have a little glare from the setting sun and the paint is much darker in person.

Hey, that paint job looks terrific; nice work.
I really like the service-body; is it original GI?

All original except for the 6 inch lift and HMMWV tires (and now the paint).

What was the service-body used for, ordnance? Vehicle maintenance?

Vehicle maintenance, or I guess any off-site maintenance. Has a 12KW PTO gen and 5HP air compressor to run tools and equipment.

That's a nice set-up.
Any chance you can take a pic of those two elements to show us where they are in the rig, and how they got them placed in there?
I know it might be a PIA, but sometimes we're just dying to check stuff out, you know!?

Well I painted it yesterday. I don't have a tail gate yet and I'm waiting on a GM fuel door. Still need to do alot details but aleast it has color on it. Makes me think theres light at the end of the tunnel. Before anyone asks, that is my M936A2 wrecker in the background.

Something tells me that you know a little something about painting, and bodywork.
That's a great looking paint job.

New to me 1009 will be here tues. night or wed. morning.It is my second one,so first order of business is doghead starter relay mod,then headlight harness upgrade and some Hella replacement headlights,then the de-chroming process starts.And I can really dig into my first 1009,she wants new fuel tank,lift pumps,filters, lines,injector pump,injectors,brake lines,starter,radiator,and then it should be good for another 100k! And both will have block heaters before next fall now that Ohio winters are getting well below 0.

I believe 85.5+ used a different relay, so the doghead mod is not required.

I don't know, mine is an '86 and it had two of those crappy relays under the dash, one burned up and the other waiting to screw me the first chance it got.
