    My first CUCV

    I kind of figured any thing with the word Government in the title there would be some pain or hassle to deal with lol, But for the prices of the auctions I've been seeing, It might be worth a little hassle. Thanks for the info

    My first CUCV

    Very Nice looking trucks!!! Nice price on yours ernie, I dont see a speck of rust on yours. And I'm sure it'd stand out with that shiny yellow paint job!! Ranchhopper got a question about GL, Are they fairly easy to deal with? Can anybody purchase from them? My wife likes mine so well, I'm...

    Outside tire carrier ideas

    I got an idea about using the square tubing for the shackle, maybe use some square tubing that would slide inside of the existing shackle mount, or some tubing that would slide over it, It's the same principle as a reese hitch. then a simple hinge that would allow you to swing the carrier...

    My first CUCV

    Well I plan on the shop spraying the outside, but I plan on doing all the prep work myself, I figure it'd be alot cheaper if i just rolled the inside myself. The last time I checked I could get a gallon of linex for about 75 bucks,

    My first CUCV

    I didnt know the glow plugs had a temp sender. I'm thinking the fire dept. were the ones that converted it to manual switch. Theres a selonoid wired up on the firewall that supplys the GP. This is the first diesel i've owned, but I've worked with detroits for the last 11 years. I've always loved...

    My first CUCV

    The glowplug thats stuck is on the passenger side in the very back(hardest one to get to!!), I soaked it with some PB Blaster and let it set over night, but it didnt do the trick. I didnt want to jack on it too hard fearing it would break off and I would have to pull the head, but I found out...
