On 40-year-old vehicles it would be a great idea to remove the windshield and windshield seal and take a close look at the pinch weld. These pictures were taken 9 years ago from an M1009 I worked on. CUCV head gasket / head/ or change engine survey | Page 5 | SteelSoldiers Rust NEVER sleeps...

And on the tank straps I use a piece of seat belt. Seat belts are tough and being they are nylon they don't stay wet long. I had a whole roll off seat belt material and used it to pull engines from vehicles. I left it attached to the engines and the next guy that had to handle the engine used...

New truck that was run in 4Hi on the highway. I stole this picture, but it is the same picture that I use as a reminder to disengage 4WD when the low traction condition is over.

Take the bed off. Very easy with a jack and wood blocks if you have nothing else.

I do both sides. Like mentioned clean the surfaces very good and dry them. Don”t over tighten the bolts and hold the studs when you tighten the top nuts. Good Luck.

Call me an idiot or what ever you like, I have always used Felpro gaskets and Permatex The Right Stuff . In my opinion the valve covers are scrap and are only good one time with sealer alone. After that I use gaskets and sealer. Do as you wish I am not a mechanic and only do this as a hobby. I...

I would definitely be checking the grounds. I drove these trucks for years on stock halogen headlamps and never had an issue with brightness. I have used the Truck lite H4 housings Good. I used the Truck lite H4 housings with HID conversions Better and then finally the Truck lite LED headlamps...

I may be a hard labor guy. In the end you would be better off removing the cargo bed to better access that fuel tank and the connections. But do as you wish. I would take full advantage of this situation and go wild doing other needed repairs and restoration work. If it is not your daily driver...

I remember I removed the front and rear bumpers and painted them with 383 CARC green. This was a New Mexico NG M1009.

I was cleaning up my office and came across this picture on the M1009. This is Fall 1999 and my son and I went camping in the mountains for a week we lived in a tent and lived off the land. I bought the M1009 in 1996 with 3200 miles on it and drove it everywhere. When I bought it, I had a 1986...

The Wild Weasel is in hibernation in sunny Pennsylvania.

I am looking for 2 bed sides for an M1028. 8ft bed sides. Anyone know who sells decent aftermarket? Lik a fool I sold all the GM ones I had. Oh well.

This is not a huge step forward but it is progress in the right direction. At least the bumpers are in the same room as the M1009. This gives them time to get better aquatinted before being permanently attached to each other. I am braving the cold and doing some organizing. Finding lots of...

Today it is cold and dry. I am long due for clean up and organizing my things. Further back in the center bay I moved several items and found a TH400 from a CUCV M1010 I parted out 25 + years ago. I relived when I seen it but never missed it. It was from an M1010 that had less then 5 k miles...

We both know that will never happen

You can learn a lot from a Dummy.

Facebook I just can't wait to finish my current build and try this trail.

You probably received them for a Dana 60. The M1009 has a cooperate 10 bolt front axle NOT a Dana 44

WOW yesterday was like Christmas all over again. I received my order from LMC and still have more parts on the way. I was happy with the parts I received and in my experience the after-market parts quality has improved over the past 10 years. I was happy to see that all the parts I ordered were...
