This M1009 is a 1984 model built 08/1983 the cables that ran to the rear radio were run on top of the floor. This hole is 1 1/4” I used a standard hardware store steel plug and painted it to fill the void. I was going to weld it shut early on but wanted to retain the stock hole. I hope you are...

B pillar plugs. Hardware store the ones that were in there turned to chalk dust. The left panel was tight I had to hammer it in. I think that will get thru QA. Quality assurance. Later.

Rough day I wire brushed my nuts , washed and painted them. Lunch time.

28 MT gear reduction starter. 28 MT support bracket. 24 MT support bracket ONly picture I could find of the OEM direct drive starter; I hope that helps. If not ask again. Happy New Year.

Honorable mention. After I tormented myself for a hour my Son stopped by and put a new grommet on my E brake cable where it passes thru the floor. Very nice. Happy Dad.

Good time to stop for the day. No use over doing it. Under hood brake hydro boost is all reattached. I have the left vent and E brake all hooked up and attached. I think that is enough for 1 day. I currently only have wood heat in my home and need to fire up the boiler. All the pedals are...

It passes my quality inspection now to install it.

Hand picked from inventory. The original ones I tossed they had CARC broomed on them. I Shall clean and report back. Jonestown is in the 50s today

After 2 hours and hand picking every fastener I have progressed this far. I am cleaning a left vent.

I will check back later.

These are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad. I simply remember my favorite things and then I don”t feel so bad. Happy New Year

Just use lock nuts the crimped type. I took them off many times they are not as easy as a few bolts. Where would it sit to allow time to remove it?

I think it fell off. That would take great effort to get up there and hold the nuts while untightening the bolts. As I recall they came OEM with 5/16" fine thread bolts with a star washer. Not to start controversy but a friend of mine lost a license plate off the front of his truck and assumed...

I fixed a few like that. 1 truck needed a new transmission case. Another one has 2 holes thru the upper bell and the owners were willing to take the risk. It all worked out. They ran the trucks several years before upgrading. The plow tuck split the bell housing and lower cover. Happy Holidays.

I thought about it and have decided to send the CUCV spreader truck out to a garage to have it fixed. I don't want to involve myself in the hacking that has taken place thus far. Not sure I would be satisfied with the results and adding all the wires back into the box. Not the worse one I ever...

I was called over to the vehicle maintenance department because an M1028 salt spreader truck had no lights and was not charging. The horror I see is unreal. Cut wires and all sorts of spades jacked into outlets and running in all directions. I went to do my inline fuse repair and found wires...

Good job

I bought an M1028 in Augusta Georgia that had a bad rattle in the engine. I hooked a tow bar on the back and towed another M1028 behind me. I drove back to towards my home in PA and this engine really rattled but ran good. I got home and was wondering what the rattle was. Come to find the crank...

I have never changed one. I think it is pointless to worry about things that may never happen. I have driven CUCV's a half a million miles and never had the issues that some people encounter. When I did deeper into the issues on the CUCV vehicles that are brought to me I discover the problems...

The weights on the flex plate face forward. Are you sure that all 6 bolts fastening the flex plate to the torque converter are tight. Are you sure they are M10 if the need to be M10 and or 3/8" if they need to be 3/8" bolts. I have seen them both ways and have determined that the ones I seen...
