M1009 tailgate repairs Disassembled tailgate. "Tapped" out prang in tailgate from previous war injury, identified all the usual parts that have failed (sash, rails, trim) in window assembly and ordered replacements. Hammered out bent sash so window could be reinserted and raised to keep night...

"Unearthed" while replacing brushguard - last assignment before decommissioning 28 28 D (Could/Should? be B) 815 HQ 12. :jumpin: Also "found" new electrical problem with running lights staying on (all switches off) very (almost imperceptibly) dimly. (Another short?):roll:

Many thanks for leads on 24/12 V for my M1008!

Replaced milspec tires that had dry rot with 4 New Goodyear AT tires. Purchased and mounted new brushguard to replace original that looks like it meet "resistance" prior to my pick up at GL. Still looking for parts to start restoration. Ordered scanner and radio for mounting as part of...

Hi Folks, Looking for a tailgate (must be in good shape) for my 1986 M1008. I have a working one that is pretty pranged up and want to replace before restoration. Tailgate is last part I need before "Betsy" goes into the shop for her facelift and spa treatment. "Betsy" already had her vital...

Wow is right - can't wait to see how my M1008 turns out Dave. Super!!

One (perhaps one of a few besides good wine and great scenery) reason to live in CA - Barstow seems to always have great prices on all sorts of things - we see nothing like that here in VA. Richmond/Norfolk, in MD - Ft. Meade, and PA sites all are usually way over bid for most items - I got my...

BMW vs CUCV? No contest - BMW's are way more expense (and no where near as fun) to keep.;) Nice pictures - thanks for sharing - hope starting problems minor - my M1008 just threw a fit this weekend and I am back to civilian status until I get her morning again. Cheers!

Nice pics - Thanks! How did you make out on interior? Mine was really good - seat and dash in really good shape. Looks like you got lucky on tailgates they both look good. Cheers!:beer:

Pictures of my M1008 at start of restoration. Seats, frame, and rails off already. Truck runs good (it should after I replaced and pulled everything I could – belts hoses, redid breaks, flushed all lines, new heater core, all filters). She only has 49K on her when I picked her up at Ft. Meade...

Doing same rebuild - thank you much!

Super rebuild - just started mine a month ago - an 86 M1031 I picked up at Ft Meade. Great thread with tips that will really help me on some of the issues I have already realized I would have to deal with. Question - what are you doing for radio rig - see you have 4 antennas - what rig are you...

Hi folks, Work progresses on bringing back my recently acquired M1031 Cargo/Troop Carrier. I am looking for a source to replace the existing - badly worn/torn tarp that came with her when I picked up from GL. I am keeping the orgional in the event I need to have a new one made custom. Any...

Hello folks, Just received my EUCs for (1) M1031 CUCV Troop/Cargo carrier and (2) M101A 3/4 ton trailers all located at Ft Meade, MD. I am looking for help getting them moved from Ft. Meade to my home in Great Falls, VA - approximately 32 miles. The M1031 pickup is not in running order -...

Hello all, I just made my first purchase - a M1031 Cargo Carrier and an M101 trailer at the auction at Ft. Meade. :shock: (Deer in headlamps). Now the fun begins! I am looking for a garage in N. VA where I can get basics done to truck and discuss restoration activities. Money is always...
