That wasn’t”t too bad. I am happy with the part I am working with, it is in great shape for being over 40 years old. The butyl glue is still pliable and tacky. These rubbers are a joy to get back in the channel. That is it for today. I think I have a genuine GM set of the 2 piece seals...

I brought my vent windows on to rebuild and was surprised to see that they are the 2 piece seal design. Another thing that says 1983 and the chrome jangle latches are OEM. The windows are in excellent condition no rot on the glass holders. here we go

I am calling it a day. I have made great progress. It will be until Saturday that I can get back at it. I

I was looking for fasteners and came across a bag of vintage GM wire ties. I reattached the diagnostic plug only because it was there. I have the heater box reattached and added the lower air director. I have the ashtray back in and am moving onto the heater controls and then the glove box...

I have door nomenclature riveted back on. The right vent back in place. And I am working on getting the wiring harness installed . I have lots of prep work and cleaning on the steering column before that will be completed . Next I am going to get the duct work and heater box back under the...

Picking out the best door nomenclature for the M1009 And I have a Winner

My collection of CUCV tags that are no longer with us. Many more are stashed in a box here that escapes me now. All variants log the CUCV have been parted out here in the past since 1995.

I am building it one piece at a time. I was sweating the nomenclature plate as I had lost it for many years. And recently I was unable to find it. It brings a tear to my eye. My Wife clipped it to the title and had it locked in the safe. WOW. It has a 3 digit VIN after the zeros. It matches...

Imagine that I don”t have the bracket that goes on the dash. Oh well if I don”t find one I will just use a stock trim panel. I still have a GM one in the box. But I know one person that is smiling because I was able to save that warranty decal. Have a Great Day.

Good Morning M1009

I brought the defroster vent and the floor air director in the house to scrub and Armor All. I don”t think many CUCV”s had the air director on the floor at the heater assembly. This is an early build and has chrome wing vent handles. I am inside for the rest of the year. Take Care Be Safe.

I spent the day after church taking in firewood. Currently that is my only heat source. This is the trashy wood I sorted out of my wood pile while I was splitting and stacking now I need to get some helpers hete to stretch the tarp out on the pile. I have a few of the water bladders and they are...

I have soaked the right vent panel in Armor All the past 2 days . It suits me now and passes my QA. I also located a high idle magnetic switch for a member here. I tested it and it pushes the rod out . Havr a Great Day.

I loved the Goodyear Duratraks on every vehicle I ever put them on. My Trail Boss is OEM equipped with these tires and I have 39k miles on them and they are still 9/32 tread. MTR were my favorite tires, but time has passed, and they went the way of the Wild wood weed and Dodo bird.

I can thank Mr electric heater for my comfort and ability to make progress. I just hope the electric meter stays attached to the house as the meter is spinning out of control. I am always happy with the CUCV stance after replacing all 4 leaf springs with stock height springs. After 40 years...

I think I will call it a day. I made great progress. I still have the Wild Weasel wintering over here. I need to pressure wash and paint the rear frame section before I install the new lift springs. I don”t see that happening till spring. Take Care and have a Happy New Year. If weather permits I...

Sezzo I tried painting Bremsfreigabe but my hand was shaking too much.

Abracadabra. No smoking mirrors. Just good old thinking and trying things.

Experimental only. Judge not , and you will not be judged.
