    Frame ends cut or not?

    You will need to come up the interstate sometime and do some barn shopping. I have everything you need right here. Take Care.

    Frame ends cut or not?

    https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucvrus-repair-projects.192437/page-13 Check out the frame on the 1986 M1009. It looks the same to me.

    Frame ends cut or not?

    No I do NOT think they are cut. I know they are missing the front bumper brackets and lifting tie down tubes. But CUT. NO I don't think they are. They still have the double reinforcements.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Heat, Humidity and Rain have played a key roll in my progress. Last night I did manage to get my Wife and Friend to help me get things ready to apply some primer. Next available evening is Friday. I look forward to some progress. Big projects take longer then expected when they are not your...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I have the fuse box and bulkhead connector back in the firewall and all connected. I also have the steering column in place and all the wires plugged in for testing purposes. So far so good. I don't have the column bolted into the truck or hooked up to the steering shaft. Just the 2 under dash...

    KC Lights Stopped Working

    I don't know from the pictures. I would just follow the instructions that came with the lights or look the instructions up via Google.

    Th400 going bad?

    That looks like a railroad truck. I pay anywhere between $700-$1,000 for having one gone over before it self destructs. I have had a few apart myself. Just like everything else I ever thought I could rebuild there is more to it then throwing a kit in it. If everything is not set up properly you...

    Th400 going bad?

    Just a brief word on this transmission issue. I NEVER trust a used 35+ year old transmission. If I am building a reliable vehicle and want it to be my way to work not my work on every weekend truck. I do all the rebuilding up front. I have every TH400 from a CUCV rebuilt going forward. I found...

    When I fix the melted fuse connection I always refer to this diagram for the fuses. The Main 30 amp on the right midway is the one I always find melted. The Stop and tail light one directly above it is fed on the same leg. I must cut that feed wire and place an inline in place for each circuit...

    Why is it that I see repairs done like this all the time? Tools and money can make fools of some people. Do it right the first time and drive on. Be SAFE.

    the list goes on.

    doghead relay upgrade After 38 years I still don't see this as a CUCV upgrade. Nothing is infallible. After the stock relay lasted 35 + years. How long do the upgraded relays last? I seen more then one post where the same thing happened with this upgrade. I know this has been pounded on many...

    Brake issue, ideas welcome

    This guy saved 25% on his brake job. Don't take the short inexpensive end of braking system on any vehicle. Make sure they are there when you need them. Good Luck.

    Brake issue, ideas welcome

    What I do on every resurrected vehicle that I get is replace everything brake and seal related. Now we are talking just brakes at this point. Brakes are very very important of course. But getting all new pads, shoes, calipers, hoses, wheel cylinders, axle seals and all clean fluid is very...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    Easy fix. Unfortunately you will need to take the fender, hood and cowl screen off to get to it properly. If it were me I would just take the entire front end off and start there. I can guarantee there is more places that need fixed. Good Luck. Start a thread and show the progress on your...

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    What part of the truck did you take the rusty picture? Is that under the hood near the hinges?

    Yes it was signaled by the tach pickup on the Generator 1 drivers side.

    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    If you are talking oil cooler lines they are still available as after market. And yes they can be routed incorrectly and rub on the brake booster reinforcement. I have seen more then 1 engine ruined from oil cooler lines rubbed thru. Many times the bracket at the rear of the manifold is...
