You'll all be glad to know this will prob be the last post on this subject, as the bumper is all back together, finally after 9 years lol, I have a great deal of patience. Got an M416 trailer on order as they're a lot more common over here than M101's. Thank you for all the comments, help and...

Yup, 'choc chip', 'kitty litter' cammo, whatever you want to call it lol, I belong to The Gulf War living history group so will be at the show for 10 days acting the part. Just hope the weather hold up for us as it's been the wettest July in years, this time last year was in the low 30's. Mick.

Oh yes, well pleased with them, amazing what a few hours of hand sanding, primer and satin black can achieve, they're on the Blazer now, just gotta get some bolts for the reinforcing bar and the back ends finished. Just poly leaf spring bushes and sway bar bushes to go now. Almost ALMOST...

Well, I finally managed to get the brackets, found a CUCV at a breakers yard, also got a ton of other hard to find bits from it, complete jack bracket and jack handle bracket, 3 steel wheels, tailgate and side glass, ariel mounts, 2 dash decon unit brackets. I've posted some picccies in the...

And this is the decal I need, if anyones forgotten why I posted lol, if anyone can help, either the decal itself or a good clear in focus picture, just want it to be right. Many thanks. Mick

Hi Chuck... Thank you very much for taking the time, I know they're a pain to get to and remove, like I said I took the rear apart no problems, taking apart is the easy bit, it was the putting back together in the right order and the right way round. Regards. Mick.

That was taken today at the yard where my friend has his workshop, just outside London, I've put some pictures in the photo gallery, titled ' What you find in barns in the UK'. He's been into American auto's close to 30 years, both civilian and military, I'm learning about them slowly lol. I'm...

One day it might even look like this rollin' down the road. Just finished helping my buddy restore his M416, so I "borrowed" it and stuck it on the back of the Chevy, you know, just to see how it sits etc etc :D :wink:

Hi Mike... Excellent, thank you very much for taking the time to do that, I'll wait for the email from Rick and let you know if we're successful. Regards. Mick.

Hi AJMBLAZER ..... I wasn't a member of that site, but I am now lol, ANYTHING is worth a try, even bugging the good ppl on Ebay as there seem to be a whole load of rear bumper centers and tow hitches appearing. Mick.

I don't know if it's the exact same one, but LMC Trucks sell a glow plug relay for 6.2 Blazers, it says this in their online catalogue, RELAY-GLOW PLUG In Stock $21.95 Mick.

Hi Chuck.. Excellent, I'd really appreciate it, I know they're a SOB to get to, I had to figure out how they all went together when I put the bumper back on, then took it off and put them on the right way round, then took it off and put the bolts in the right way round lol. Even one would be a...

Here's some decals I did on the comp, that's if anyone else is mad enough to do a full restoration lol. I'll measure them and get the proper dimensions. Mick.

Hi guys.... I know I posted this along with the decal question, but I thought it'd be worth another shot. Does anyone know where I would be able to source the bumper reinforcing brackets for the M1009, they're all I need to finish my CUCV after the 8 month restoration. Like I said before, parts...
