    After giving it, some thought I think I am just going to remove the rear axle and do all the work out from under the vehicle. I will just cut the hydraulic brake line and remove the E brake cables and backing plates. It seems a lot more comfortable and safer than working completely under there...

    Well I knew something was messed up when I seen the gap in the u joint straps to the yoke. I will change the yoke and the yoke seal. This why you clean the threads and run a thread chaser thru the yoke. 1 bolt is broken off and it was way too tight.

    M1009 Fuel lift pump to fuel filter hard line replacement

    It is a flared line. Are you in a big hurry for this line? I maybe have one. Maybe. I do if I can find it. I have had them rattle to pieces before from not being secure in the clamps to the block up front.

    I raced with the daylight and won. It was a close match. Left fender apron is in. Questionable battery trays. We will see approach and use extreme caution. The holes were placed in the aprons with 000 buck shot. Not by me.

    CUCV's are the same. Standard on the body parts and standard and metric on the engine and transmission.

    Project Wild Weasel M1009

    I added a slave receptacle and a B/O lamp to the core support. That genius that worked on it in the past removed all that stuff and hacked the wires off. Hopefully the owner of this M1009 is smiling and liking my efforts, I am going to start putting the left fender apron in place and race the...

    I have the right inner fender apron installed. Whoever the person was that drilled it for battery boxes must have been stoned. I could have done better blind folded. Now that I have them in place I question if that is why it had riding mower batteries in it. I guess I will find out real soon...

    The brake lines fit without any adapters. Not to be rude but I am glad you were wrong. I didn’t want to leave the barn yard. I am having too much fun.

    You are never off topic. You are a friend and you may ask anything on my thread. But on your question that is just an ink pad stamp from the New Process company or a code where the casting was made. Many numbers and codes are stamped on parts and other components. Like I mentioned in the past I...
