    Got a new m1009

    I can only imagine how bad/scary that was. My old m37 was sitting next to my window of the house and is came off the rim on a hot day, and the tube let go. That shook my window and scared me. Can't imagine that in the rear seat.

    Well not major, but it felt it. I replace my turn signal switch in the column. That was NOT fun. Deffinitly worth buying a lock plate remover. Alot of dissasembly to pull the old and new wires up the column. Then my horn didn't work. Got it working after 3 dissasemblys, just contacters not...

    I have too Many CUCV's and Parts

    Just a side note, if the missing tailgate is bugging you alot, just pick one up off a civi k5/ suburban. Just make sure its manual. Can get them for around $80 with good glass. Civi and cucv are exact same, just diff paint. The few bolts to swap may also get you a much better asking price if you...

    Got a new m1009

    Woo hoooo, got my new paint job on. Came out nicer than i expected. Used Behr Premium Plus high gloss 33446 . Accentuated with high gloss black. Have to go back and clean some of the glass where spray got under the tape. Took about 2 and half day to do with prep time. Such a nice feeling to have...

    Undercoating

    Frome my experience. If theres cancer rust anywhere involved in a repair, only weld in a new piece of steel. Rust is not to be underestimated or toyed with. Sounds like you are having cancer keep showing up. Would highly suggest you go through with a hammer and screw driver and hit any suspected...

    Got a new m1009

    Waiting for better weather to paint, got some surface rust off the frame and painted under neath and in wheel wells. Just fixed rust on the tailgate. That little bit turned out to be way more than wanted. The interior plate in the talgate was rusted through completley on the bottom. Was able to...

    M1009 Stripped and left for dead.

    Lol i was just talking to a hermit i know, he just offered me a package deal of two titled m1009s for 3k, all glass broke and missing some parts (vandals), almost tempting, but i don't want to ( or have the space) to follow in cucvrus foot steps. They would be great place for all those lump...

    Got a new m1009

    Got both my doors done, new rubber in all, hate doing the wing windows. Also painted the panels and cleaned windows, lookings almost new. Best part is the insulation and sound dead in them, sooo much quieter. Also found out my side marker lights weren't working, i actualy thought they were...

    M1009 Stripped and left for dead.

    lol exactly what i though ehupert. Well at least cucv won't have to worry about all the extra parts and fendors laying around and clogging his barn up when the current last project is done. He can now bolt it all back on to this one. I think it works out awasome, one more project with no time...

    Got a new m1009

    I tried to get some or a cut out used ones. Eather can't get any doner or by the time you added up the price for the front and rear part of the passenger side plus the shipping it didn't seem worth the price for holes on half of one side. Oversize shipping in CA will kill your budgets way to...

    Just picked up. 1986 M1028A2

    Nice, don't see many of the bigger cucv boys. Bumber they cut the wiring, easy fix though. I personally like the thought of going red for fire truck, alot camo out there. Then you can also say you own a fire truck and not be lying either.
