Let the work begin

Great looking project!! Wish I had bought the trailor at the same time. Make sure your hitch it sufficient to pull trailor. I heard they were pretty weak, and needs a trailor hitch mounted below to frame. Then could use area for license plate. Let me know what you decide to do. Good job.

Alt 1 and alt 2 were not charging so I found the dash was not plugged in. After cleaning all of the contacts I got alt 1 to work but alt2 was still dead so I took it to my alt guy and found it had a bad regulater. Now it's time for the interior clean up. I painted the dash and right door panel black. I think it looks better than the orignal color. I still need to hit the junk yard to find the driver side windows,regulater and door panel.

Looks like you got a good dash, mine is split and cracked. Bought a coverlay dash cover, have not installed it yet. What paint or dye did you use?

 

[camoyj7]

It's Aervoe's flat black in a spray can. It figured it couldn't look any worse than it did so I just spray painted it. I'm kind of suprised on how good it came out. I bought another driver door today so I could steal all of the glass and regulater I'll get that done tomorrow.

Was a nice day out so I pulled the M1009 out for a wash and to start to put it back together. I got the door glass in the the dash board back together, I did the Doghead starter relay fixed all the dash lights and got the alt's both charging. I just found out the tailgate window regulater is stripped out so now the hunt for a new one begins.

Be sure to post back if you find a good source on those regulators - I'd be interested in a spare

I called a Chevy dealer by me and they can get them. He told me the part# is 15641780 for the manual regulator. I found them online at rockauto for $143.00 so thats where I got it from.

 

[SGT Estum]

Just out of curiosity... how much did the dealer want for the part?

I put the hard top back on last night and got the first coat of Herculiner on this morning.

 

[SGT Estum]

Looking good! You'll have to let us know how that Herculiner turns out. I'm courious to know if it has any noticable impact on sound in the cab.

Did you have any fiberglass stringer issues and if so how did you deal with them?

Thanks

The sun had cooked the paint off on a few spots on the top down to the fiberglass. Ijust lightly sanded the top and shot the paint. It took a few coats but came out nice. Just got the new rear window regulator from rockauto. I was suprised it was a G.M. part and the right one.

I just have a few things to wrap up then the M1009 is done. My neighbors are going to think there in an army base next door.
