    Interior lights

    I grabbed a light out of a wrecked cop car, the switch is on the light itself and gives a choice of white or red LEDs, and it only cost a couple bucks.

    Mounting on the valve cover studs does kinda ring a faint bell.

    Tips for removing hood "pop spring"? (M1009)

    The hood brace kits don't fix a problem and they can be dangerous. The kinks are in a preplanned stress point, in case of an accident the hood bends up in the center instead of tearing loose from the hinges and coming thru the windshield and taking your head off! If you squirt some oil on the...

    Civi Intake Resonator install?

    It's been a long LONG time since I had a 6.2 in a civvie truck but IIRC you are missing a short connecting hose between the filter housing and the resonator I also think that the metal mount went to studs on the exhaust manifold. But I could be totally wrong as it was many years ago.

    Headlight Woes

    This or the fuse is making intermittent contact with the spring terminals that hold the fuse in place. I've had some luck in cleaning and tightening them up but replacement is the best way to go. " I am confused as to why the 30amp headlight fuse is not popping? " the fuse only "pops" when the...

    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    Nice job! It's good to see it done that way instead of just hacking it out and leaving a bare edge.

    1986 chevy cucv m1008

    First off when the Gov. ordered these they specified that no matter what production year it was made in it would use 1984 parts. I doubt this is the case but GM made a change in flywheels between 84 and 85 for 6.2L, perhaps they did the same with flex plates? What type of "machining" did you...

    CUCV Gear Indicator Issue

    Ah, you could do it. All you need is a socket set a screw and screw driver and a drill. JUST MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERYS BEFORE WORKING ON THE DASH!

    Super Lug 9x16 tires

    If you do use them you won't be sneaking up on anybody, they'll hear you coming a mile away! I'm all ready half deaf, I couldn't stand that tire howl.

    1976 chevy 5/4 ton clone build

    I understand changing the front clip (I like the old round head lights) but why the doors? Externally the doors are the same body lines and fit, if you change them you'll need different inner trim panels and believe it or not the old glass is thicker then the newer (80s) window glass. They will...

    Super Lug 9x16 tires

    I've never run those exact tires but have had many like it over the years. They do ride rougher and will devolpe flat spot in cold weather from sitting (they go away as the tire warms up) They worked great for plowing snow and driving in woods and fields where small stumps can rip open a soft...

    Snowblade for my m1028.

    Just a normal Chevy mount, I did have a friend change things a bit as the donor truck sat a lot lower than my CUCV and that change the vertical angle of the plow.

    Anyone know why?

    Starters don't last very long when they don't disengage and you can't hear them over the 6.2

    Little oil drops...

    Good idea, also what oil viscosity is in it? I tried running a pure synthetic and a very small ream main leak turned into a smoke screen at 55+ (I lost a significant amount of oil). I went back home and swapped out that oil with regular 15-40 and went right back to a drip here and a drop there...

    Floorpan replacement

    Most all aftermarket rust panels are about the same, check with a local body shop and see where they get AM panels I bet you'll get them cheaper and faster.
