I bought truck at GovPlanet auction in June. Auction 900743 at Ft. Riley, Kansas. I have not mastered the way of posting pictures yet, being new to computer operations. I will have to figure it out one day, maybe with friends son. I do not know if that helps, probably not, but the truck came...

Hello Steel Soldiers, I have a question about the grill on my truck. I have an 84 M1008A1, and when I acquired the truck I noticed that the grill seemed to be different from others that I have seen, or have yet to see another one like it. The center of the grill does not have the Chevrolet...

Happy New Year to Everybody on the Forum! And after taking my paperwork to the Missouri DMV provided from Iron Planet, the dated letter was enough to keep from getting any additional fees applied. New title process went easy as can be. New title from Mo. State received in mail, and will apply...

Hello again, I am still on a quest to procure four antenna brackets and would like to find on Steel Soldiers then any where else. Any advice on vendors would be greatly appreciated also. Thanks

Beetleswamp, since you have finished repair on rear main seal has everything been satisfactory since repair? I hope repair was worth the effort involved. Rear main seal on Chevrolet engines, at least to but not including LS series has always have been a challenge on longevity. Sitting for...

Thanks for the interest and mutual quest in returning our MVs to their intended use. I am new to the use of computers so the picture end is quite new as well. As I purchased the truck from GovPlanet some pictures are available on that site. Auction number 900743 would get some pictures as...

I forgot to add make sure to face seal the right way, as the seal is directional. Been awhile for my Chevrolet cranks. Spun number 4 rod bearing on 98 350 engine. Looks like I have another project coming up.

I have never had to nor would I let crank loose to get rear main seal out. May cause a host of other problems. Spun bearings, goodbye crank. I have replaced rear main rope seals of all types. Not fun, being patient pays off. Several great responses, copper wire, my favorite, different gages...

Very SAD and Very Unfortunate. A roll of the dice and both lose. Free Travel is a Right. Traveling in a motor vehicle on a motorway is a PRIVALIDGE. "If" and I mean if the man had been cited before for motoring the vehicle on a public thoroughfare then by current statutes he has committed an...

Very good question, as I would like to know also so as to find the equipment used and return the truck to its intended purpose, if possible.

Yes the 4th character is indeed a G. Thanks

Hello Tinstar, I have just went outside to look at the Data Plate on the door jam where underneath it is stenciled, 5-91 CARC. I hope that this can help as I really want to try and find the remaining parts to complete the unit to its intended purpose. Thanks to anyone that can help with any...

rustystud has a good handle on what the 70 is used for and what it is worth. What would be even better is if it has a locker inside. Too bad the frame has been "adjusted" past any kind of usefulness. I would have let you cut in half and take the section that had the axle, and let you take...

I am beginning to believe that the truck may have been a quick up front communication vehicle with the 1st ID. With Armor, Air Assault, and multiple Support Detachments homogeneously, and cohesively active in close support of any action, the communication detachment would be a crucial part of...

Hello Tinstar, have you evaluated the remains. Does the frame look like it is straight and unmolested, not all rotted? Maybe a useable chassis?

Thanks Tinstar, I looked at the data plate for the 84 CUCV and at the bottom right of the plate has number 14063382. At the top of the plate it has CUCV Cargo or Troop 1008. The plate does have on the loading diagram a two sided antenna dimensions for transport?

Hello sandcobra164, sorry I was being critical earlier. The best way to have equipment from my point of view is to have a maintenance schedule. No matter what, I take a day every month to start all equipment and let run in place or and drive, move around, articulate moving parts. If you do not...

Hello all, when I purchased the 1008 from Ft. Riley I always wondered why the bed of the truck had used all four mounting points for the antenna positions. It also has a power cable added, running to the passenger side to the inside of the bed. The bed also had at one time had a cover on. What...

Welcome, The Test seems to be working.
