    85 M1010 Resto/Build Thread

    Got most of my shakedown done and major issues sorted out, unfortunately not going to be able to get the truck bac up here this year, but it buys me more time to get the stacks of little things squared away and find someone with the majority of the components for the box. It's been a very good...

    85 M1010 Resto/Build Thread

    Some of the other images didn’t want to play ball with the phone so here’s a reupload of it how it sits.

    85 M1010 Resto/Build Thread

    Finally back in the lower 48, and it’s been a busy few weeks. Nearing the end on paint and bodywork stuff, replaced glass, some suspension refresh, new IP, chasing some electrical faults, rebuilt the column and working on radio installs and interior stuff now. So far it’s been shaping up half...

    85 M1010 Resto/Build Thread

    Absolutely, shaping up to be a fun drive cross country with it. Aside from the speed, had any gripes about running it long haul? Got near all the stuff to put a functional PLGR in my truck, just hunting for a dash radio bracket to mount it to.

I'm over on the AF side but try to circulate as much as I can, networking is half the battle up here. Trying to find some people to wrench and wheel with as time goes on. The truck was definitely a...

    85 M1010 Resto/Build Thread

    Been a while since I've been back, went to the Weare rally last year and worked out a deal with Mike Morin and bought an 85 M1010 off him right before I left for basic. The green iron itch doesn't go unscratched, I suppose. Got it home and have been dealing with the usual ex-FD issues. Had some...

    CUCV II Clone/New here

    Hey, both former telecom trucks! My rig came from Verizon in one of its several previous lives. I actually grabbed measurements off that specific brush guard when I was up there grabbing that bed. Was and still am on a shoestring budget with this thing unfortunately. Depending on how life goes...

    CUCV II Clone/New here

    Hello all, first time posting here. Been watching the forums for a long time and finally decided to make an account and introduce myself and my project. From up in New Hampshire, have a friend who got me to go to the Weare rally when I was a good bit younger and that cemented my love of this...
