Southern CUCV Resto of M1009

[82ABNMP]

Hello all thought you may like to see the latest restoration of a 51K mile M1009 that’s just about finished and almost ready for sale.

It’s been gone over just about everywhere. Everything that needed replaced was, tires, windshield, interior, GP’s & relay, starter mod, new starter, new paint with new rockers, ect. David

Still waiting on the seats from the upholstery guy, they will match the rest of the interior in the original burgundy

Pic 1 of second group- did you paint your shop door to match the interior?

Seriously, it looks much better than it did when it came out of the factory.

Panel Bond

Is this the truck that you replaced the rocker panels with the epoxy?

Great looking truck.

Yes, this is the truck that has the new rockers installed with panel bond adhesives instead of welding.

Thanks!

Windshield

David,

I have to replace my windshield...any tips? Truck looks fantastic too. Great work on the interior.

I had the local "safelite" guy come out and it cost about $250.00 installed. Worth the money to me that way if it breaks it's on them.

Had safelite do mine....

Your CUCV looks very good. I have some questions re work my unit needs:

1. What type of paint did you use for the green base color? Did you do the paint work your self?

2. Did you replace or paint the interior door panels? If paint what did you use?

3. What material did you use on the floor?

4. Do you have any pics on how you used the panel adhesive to repair the rockers?

Thank you.

I always look forward to seeing you put up a new thread. Your CUCV's are so gorgeous it almost makes me want one!

Do you think the Herculiner helped with road noise?

 

[Gottlos]

How many cans of Herculiner did you go through to complete the floor?

I've seen in LMC that a replacement rubber floor is available for the mid 80's K5 Blazers. From what I've seen they don't install cleanly. Any experience with the rubber mat for the earlier generation of K5's? Was there that much change in the floor between the two generations?

 

[REDWOLF]

Man that thing looks awsom. When can i drop mine off for a little one on one time with you?

David,

I have to replace my windshield...any tips?

I replaced my own, it's not difficult if using soap and rope.
