Listen up. OEM CUCV starter bolts may not be available but OEM GM 6.5 stater bolts and support bracket are still available. I have worked with vehicles all my life and I used a 1996 Chevrolet 6.5 turbo G3500 van as Model to get parts for the starter bolts, this the support bracket bolt that...

I was at work and I heard someone drive up in the CUCV M1028 we have been beating for 25 plus years. I could hear it coming from a mile away. Anyway he shut it off and went and did some work. When it started it up and drove away I heard the strange sound the starter made engaging. I seen it...

Yesterday was cool and damp. I chose to find a pair of tail lamp harnesses. I actually found many but chose 4 that are in decent shape. I washed and cleaned them. I hung them in my basement to dry and the harnesses I will be re taping before installation. I started thinking in pairs so I have...

On the CUCV and other military vehicles there are 4 red slots of LED light and a single amber slit that lights in the middle when the brakes are applied. Up front each BO lamp on the bumper has 2 amber slits of light. Good Luck with the project.

Like I mentioned the gauge to set them up is discontinued. I saved a few with all the brackets attached so the gauge is not required to install them. Many I seen not working were bent and rusted off. Most times the only malfunctioning ones were on lifted trucks. Have Great Day. Enjoy your weekend.

Back in the day when I serviced and worked on the trucks there was a plastic gauge that you attached to the valve shaft, and it fit into a hole on the lever. You left that attached until the load sensing valve was install and then you cut the plastic and the valve was set and ready to go. I have...

I needed a helper to install the front bumper and brush guard. That help was here tonight so I took full advantage of the extra hands. Didn’t get a lawn mowed but got parts out of my barn and reinstalled. All need fasteners makes it 3 times easier. Have a Great Day. One day at a time. This one...

It is riveted together.

Somewhere along the line I ended up with a cracked frame on my M1102 trailer. Not sure how I am going to fix it or if I want to. It must have been like that for a while. I hauled a lot of firewood in that trailer. This is the first one I ever seen broken. Like my Dad used to say I could break...

Any ideas?

I was moving crush material and came across a few old CUCV parts. All scrap now.

Today after work I decided to install the steering column and make some progress on my project. I have been dragging my feet for a bit. Column all clean and lubed. Truck all ready for the install. That was not all that bad. I decided to continue on and make more progress. I have a new park...

No way am I spending that much on a piece of glass. Be real about it. Does it matter at this point in time. It is a glass and I can see thru it. Purpose served. Have a great day. I have scratched and sand blasted glass. The OEM windshield was perfect with the exception of wiper marks. It was the...

Today I bought a new rear window for my project I have a new windshield also but I have new rubbers and want to wait for warm weather when I can let the new rubbers set in the sun and get warm. Picture posting issues again. Have a Great Day. Made in Ohio by a Chinese company. Nice new glass.

There are 2 types of seat brackets. The multi piece ones and the single pedestal type. I prefer the single pedestal type but always seem to need and have the multi piece ones. They are getting hard to find parts for. I currently have no seat parts I wish to part with till I get my last 2 M1009’s...

I have put several oil pressure gauges on CUCV’s. I just T fitted the sending unit with brass fittings and used mechanical brass and plastic capillary’s to run to the gauge and this way it is short and high and tight out of harms way. I think the capillary is about 2 ft long and a straight shot...

I am back up in northern Pennsylvania working on my rock crusher. I took a break from work to travel a bit. First trip I left and stayed over night since I lost my Wife. Going well I will get some pictures. I met some new friends along the road. Fed them some grass and pretzels. They were very...

Today I want to talk about the Pivot Rivet for GM wing vent windows. Yes it is a real thing and I bought a box of 50 of them from Walmart.com they are made by an old OEM fastener and trim company that has been around for years and has all the cool stuff that is hard to find. Nice little piece...
