It would be 27% of the cost of a comparably equipped new truck. Not a bad deal. The miles are great and the condition is excellent.

https://www.kbb.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=626281612 Every picture tells a different story. But mileage and condition are key to value. And something is only worth what one buyer is willing to pay and what the person seller is willing to part with it. An agreement is made...

After looking at the internet sales and pricing and figuring in the price of a new truck in the same platform. That is a great price. Figure guys are buying CUCV's for 1/2 that and spending another 1/2 of that price to have an older truck that has been repaired. This is an OEM great looking...

I use a little 2" grinder and grind on the bracket. I favor the bracket and tap a flat wedge under the bracket and keep grinding on the bracket at the weld and tap lightly on the wedge. It will POP and you can get it off with no adverse damage. Slow as you go, and a small grinder works better...

I came home and went out in the cold again and worked on the trailer. The toolbox will be mounted on the left fender. I also will be mounting a lighted license plate bracket on the top of the fender. The plastic tent pegs are for props only. The license bracket is galvanneal steel and will be...

Take it apart dirty and clean each part as you reassemble. Or reassemble every part and clean them. You will get fined where I live for washing greasy engine parts at a public car wash. For your reading pleasure. I resurrected this M1009 from the crush pile at a local salvage yard. Have fun and...

I am referring to the outer axle U joints. They can become tight and not return to the straight-ahead neutral position on one side and make all sorts of things happen. I had them front axle U joints bad on a 1984 M1028 and the 1984 M1028 had a different rear cab crossmember. It had just cab...

Very Sad state of affairs. This is NOT the world I grew up in. Very SAD.

As I stated I would remove the brake drum after work today and get a bird's eye view of the inside of the drum and brake shoes. That way I have been there and seen what was in there. I was delighted. First the 5-gallon bucket and the HMMWV seat cushion. Last week I busted my folding chair. It...

Yesterday I took time for R & R. Today after work I am going to open up the brake drums on the trailer chassis and see what I am dealing with. Without seeing what is in there I am not happy to say it is good. And good enough don't cut it for me. The only thing I have no control over is the...

I received my new replacement LED lamp and bracket. I still did not receive the recessed black plastic brackets that attach the lights to the body. I went out and looked at the light and I attempted to remove the ground wire. I was surprised that the ground wire had standard zinc nuts and not...

I must be missing the couplings for connecting the copper rods together. I have the 3 rods only. I don't think they were ever pounded into the ground. They are threaded on both ends. So I assume the pounding action takes place on the connection couplings. Thank you. I will be using all the parts...

Did you check the outer axle U joints? Is one of them bound up. I had it happen several times. Good Luck.

I went out this AM at 0530 and the brake drums are still holding tight. So I guess it is safe to assume if it held pressure all night the master cylinder is fine. Now I think I will release the ratchet strap and pull the wheel drums off. From looking at the design I must remove the center cap...

The center hole goes thru the entire pounder. Explain that.

Letting it sit isn't doing anything. If it starts and runs drive out the remaining fuel. The summer of 2011 I had 330 gallons on contaminated diesel fuel I drove my CUCV M1028A1 to the farthest reaches of the earth. I went places I only wanted to go and I didn't care how far or what fuel mileage...
