1984 cucv m1009 build thread Hey Cucvfreek, must be nice to be out in that area... i did 6mos. in Tarzana, and then 3 1/2 yrs in Simi Valley, about 2mins drive from my house to Spawn Ranch on Santa Susanna Pass... loved it out there, and should have never come back to SLOhio... sadly, i didnt...

there was a feature a few months ago in either FourWheeler or 4Wheel and Offroad of a nice modded M1009 out of SoCal... when i saw it, i was surprised to see a custom front bumper that was almost identical to the idea i had had in my head for awhile for my M1010. it still featured the Mil-Spec...

i havent named the M1010 yet, but the M37 is affectionately known as War Pig...

Hey SSGT, I work at a drive thru, but unfortunately the only CUCV ive seen go thru was mine... only MV at all, actually... what a sad sad town i live in...

well since my M1010 is still wearing her S.W.A.T. black paint, its nice that cops dont look twice because it looks like a police vehicle. and criminals avoid me, because it looks like a police vehicle... or maybe they avoid me because of the sticker on the drivers wing-window that says "Honk if...

thanks BA232... im going to have to check it out on my way to or home from the cabin... it sucks how hard it is to find a good Surplus store around here these days... used to be quite a few decent ones in the area, but most are gone, such as the one that was near Ravenna, or the on that used to...

i think id be down, may even have two MV's to go... and hey Donttread, is your akron friend with the CUCV an SS member? always looking to meet local MV guys, esp if he takes his offroading at all...

greeting from Akron ! i am heading to a cabin in Hocking Hills next month, so... what/where is this GI Depot you speak of? M.V. or surplus store? wow, this OD Addiction of mine is getting really bad...

a little off subject, but shows you can build anything with enough skills, ingenuity, and a warped enought mind... i run a drive-thru convenience store, and tonight a customer came thru in a mid-90's Nissan 2-door Sentra(aka SE-R) that was sitting high with 30" or so mudders in the back... i...

unclemikey, do you run into problems with things hitting and damaging the air-conditioner? ive thought about taking out the current a/c and mounting either a small house-window unit in its place, or doing a roof-top rv unit... do you have any kind of protective cage built around it?

funny thing is that the photo of Unclemikeys truck is what made me make that suggestion in the first place... but i had no idea whose truck it was. i just had a randon pic saved to my comp from when we were looking into getting a deuce to build a camper... should have known it belonged to a...

have you considered just using a large slide-in truck camper? i know they look kinda tacky in a deuce, but for ease of use and less labor, it may be the way to go. and it would be fully set-up how you want it, and if need be, you can take it out at your chosen campsite, and still have the...

sounds like your an MV junkie after my own heart... hehehe...

what are your plans for the old girl? they make great offroad campers ! even in stock trim with BFG Trails Edge tires mine has gotten me more places than i ever thought she would... places i may have second guessed taking my 92 Bronco(also ex-govt, 4.11, 5.8L, and factory rollbar, former CA...

good score, and welcome to the 1010 squad !! kinda curious how you were able to do 75-85mph... did someone swap gear ratios? it appears to be near-stock tire size... if tires and gears are stock, i dont suggest trying for that kinda speed, if you want to reliably enjoy your truck awhile... the...

i know some of you may not like this, but i have a 67 M37 that is becoming our offroad truck. i am looking to mount good supportive seats and harnesses, but would like to still be able to use the under-seat storage. that means regular aftermarket seats are out of the question. id like something...

AgeofDarkness, no need to be ashamed, you should feel fortunate to be able to get into this hobby at an age that most of us were still dreaming and lusting over O.D. vehicles... i lost out on my first chance to buy an M.V. at your age. it was an old M37, and was what i had wanted since i first...

welcome from the Akron area ! i have alot of family in your area, and was last there for x-mas, so you may have even seen my M1010 cruising your streets, since i have friends in your town. must be nice to be that close to Powerline Park. i havent made it yet, but hope to at least once this year...

hey Maynard, that trucks looking great !! cant wait until i get my M1010 lifted... have you done any work to the rear box yet? if so , love to see some pics !! i think i have the floorplan figured out, but im always looking for ideas. we are hoping to make it to SOCAL to visit friends sometime...

CUCVFreek- nice avatar... and id venture to guess that your probably one of the very few, if any, that understand my screenname... same era, similar music genre... HOGG- love that quote... pretty ironic motto when driving a cucv, esp an M1010 like mine... i cant do much driving fast, but i...
