    CUCV Bucket Seats - Some ???s

    Seats, seats and more seats. I guess I have more seats than I need. It would be wise if I were to clean them and bag them. Maybe. I will put that on the list. The never-ending list of life's things to do when I have nothing else to do. Passengers back. Very dirty and I could clean it up if you...

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    This is a similar lug end for the CUCV positive cable to starter connection. It allows for correct clocking and safe attachment of the cable. This way the cable only fits one way and is correct when installed. Your way will work also. I just go thru the trouble and change the cables when I see...

    Dark Seas M1008 Project

    The 24 volt buss bar has 5/16" fine thread nuts and the grounds on the engine block are m10 x 1.5. I hope that helps.

    CUCV Bucket Seats - Some ???s

    Let me do some looking over the weekend. Many times, I look and find and get left with no sale, no reply and the look and find was a waste of my time. I had that happen 2-3 times out of 10 here. And that was only in the last month. I do this as a hobby and my priorities change constantly with my...

    You say good brown vinyl? No tears or wear? That is a hard nut to crack at 37 years old. I can look. But I will wait till dccucv answers you.

    I like this 4WD front axle set up. That looks very rugged and would work great off road as well as on road.

    M1009 air intake cleaner

    Since the 6.2 diesel was built to have the same power as a 305-gas engine, I think this is a respectable test. I still doubt any power difference. I think it is phycological. My Dad had a new 1977 K5 with a 400 in it. I flipped the air cleaner lid every time I drove it. This is similar. Same...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I did the math that is 173 gallons of heating oil. That is $700. worth of heating oil per full cord of wood. And Sugar Maple is a medium grade wood for BTU value.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    There is FREE wood everywhere I look. I was gifted another trailer load last night. A full 5 loads of Sugar Maple from a friend's place. Heating oil has 138,000 BTU per gallon. 1 cord of dry Sugar Maple has 24 million BTU's. More work but better value. It still costs money to cut, haul, split...

    M1009 air intake cleaner

    That's the same tom foolery as these cold air kits they sell today. All they do is increase the intake noise, so it sounds faster. Those kits all claim 5-10 hp increase. I've got news for Ya, you gain 5-10 hp when the sun goes down. Good Luck.

    Water leak

    I agree. Vent seals. That cowl area is a real dirt trap. If you remove the 2-rear hood hinge bolts, you can tee pee the hood forward and remove the cowl screen and the plastic cowl screen. While you are in there, I would remove the wiper transmission linkage and clean lube and paint them parts...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Things here have not been going well. I have a few health issues to address and a major wiring mess in my barn that I must have repaired and replaced. I have 6-months to have the barn wiring up to code. The first bay is my work bay. I have some 22" steely wheels on the M1009 at the moment...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    My lucky run has run out. I have to have my barn professionally rewired to code and inspected. I had an insurance company inspection and the barn failed. I cannot risk the loss. I have been working on getting the wiring up to code but am 20 years behind from my first warning. I can't blame them...

    Talk to me about horns

    Put these on your CUCV. At least be entertaining if you want to get attention. Then you could get out and play a personal song for all to enjoy.

    Talk to me about horns

    Anything in this degree might provide you with a sound criticism from the neighbors. 101-125 dB: 110 decibels and above is the level where other sounds can not truly be heard. Aircraft takeoff, trains, and quite loudly concerts would fall to the 110+ decibel level. 126+ dB: 125 decibels is where...
