after seeing your wheels , that would be my first thing to fix , go back to OE rims and tire size , I bet most of your problems go away, that's like having a car with omni fit rims , had a VW Golf with rims like that all went into the scrap and OE VW mags went on , problem GONE, loose the wheels...

nice cool color for the summer heat,

a good trick to get the air out is keep the heater hose on the crossover off and take your time filling the rad, heater controls open , almost all the air will be out of the system them ,wait until coolant comes out of the fitting then reinstall the hose, then let the engine run until the...

what's the tire brand you have on the truck? have you checked all your shocks front and rear, steering damper? who installed the tires ? was it the new guy? before throwing more money at it know the answer to these, then move on,

in our world (old trucks and the rust belt) all would be lost , remember 2 guys garage? those guys have no idea what rust is, with no torches in our world you might just as well go back to bed,

Just finished taking a look at the plate , appears to be newer than the 67 build date , most likely replaced during the 87 rebuild as there is no manufactured dated stamped into it , but it reads as follows M-109A3 WO/W, I'm going to check with the guy I got it from to find out if he added the...

well I finally found a truck with the features I was looking for (most anyway) 1967 M-109A3 whistler , winch , air shift, hard top , heater, air power steering , all the books, and less than 5,000 miles, needs tires and the brakes looked at , also needs a good wash in the cab , former small...

line truck I've been moving ahead as I've had time , pass side of cab is done with the exception of finish work on the corner , that will wait for the bed to come off, winter is coming so I need to get ready for the snow, hope to get a good start on the driver's side , we have also gotten a...

all the CDN CUCV's were equipped with the battery warmers, don't forget to oil spray the **** out of it, make sure you open up the tailgate and get lots in there , then spray the entire outside of the gate, need to stop mister salt,

always good to see another CUCV hit the up here , time for the block heater , your winter is almost here, did you have snow yet?

I think a trip to Maryland is in your future also try the MVPA archives , there may be something there , I would also wet sand the doors , you may find some very interesting markings in the paint , a couple of my buddies are just restoring a Studebaker gasser M-35 Arctic test truck , it came...

without a set of photos it will be hard to advise you , all the sheet metal is out there so the parts are not the problem, do you plan to drive it in the snow? I fix my trucks (the ones that need that) then they get oil sprayed every year, I only drive my 1009 all year, what is your skill set...

line truck finally got back on the line truck , been busy with one of the other projects, (Rattrig), pod is home after the Gilbert show with some extra comm gear, also a small load of CUCV parts, pass side is almost ready to have skin bolted back on, then time to work on the driver's side,

check your steering damper and front shocks, make sure some individual did not use your truck for parts for his and put the crap parts on your truck , make sure you have the heavy duty parts where they should be,

and remember you will not be able to see the CUCV in your mirror until you make a sharp turn

you need to decide what you want to do with your truck, I own both , the 1008 is a hauler , long distance or short, the 1009 is a daily driver and light hauler with normal road speed and much better mileage and room for extra bodies,

the newer base should work but I have never tried one , the 1729 tunes too slowly to keep up with the Singars and Tics radio systems,

The RT-524 and the 1729 were designed to work together, the antenna base automatically tunes itself as you change the frec. on the set , that's that little motor inside clicking and when that dies the base can be tuned by use of the hand dial,

Stay with stock bulbs , don't make more problems for yourself,

gently clean with 3M pad , do it on all the contacts and the bulb holders, use Dielectric grease on all contacts ,best thing is to replace all the bulbs with new ones , spending a few dollars on new bulbs is much easier than pulling the cluster again,
