Not from the factory it wasn't. All CUCV's were built at the Flint Michigan plant on the same assembly line that was producing the GM light truck civilian models at the same time. If it does not have the 3 color camouflage paint from the factory it was not and is not a true CUCV. I had White...

Then you have cucv with out 24v system, which easier to source parts for. Quick question. What parts are so hard to source on a CUCV that are easier to source on a standard K5-K30 GM of the same time period? And there is only one CUCV. A knock - off make believe CUCV is an Imposter. Like putting...

Tonight I had to do maintenance on the air compressor. I neglected the air filters and they were clogged solid. I drained the oil and serviced everything. Should be able to get back at my projects on Friday. Tonight I rolled my CUCV art project off the horses and onto the ground. I was adjusting...

How about a picture. The Navy CUCV's were the same 3 color camouflage as the entire CUCV line. Unless they were just a K 5 Blazer. Then they are not a CUCV M1009. I have Navy Seabee CUCV trucks and they were built for the Navy and had that noted on the sticker build sheet in the glovebox. I had...

Does the adapter spin when spun? Does the cable fit securely into the adapter? Can you spin the adapter when it is attached to the speedometer cable? Does the speedometer react? Place the gear housing onto the adapter. Does the gear spin freely with minimum resistance? Does the cable and...

On the way home I seen some wood along the road with a sign that had my price on it. FREE. Nice clear 1 X 10 clear pine boards. Free. I see a happy Wife. We like building bird houses out of clear pine boards. Especially painted wood in an Avocado color. She spent the evening pulling the nails...

If it were me I would remove the glow plugs and get the fuel system all primed and ready to run. easier on the batteries and starter and you can manually and visually check the glow plugs with a jumper wire. make sure the tips only get red hot. I have had them heat mid shaft and that is not a...

M4 /M16 / AR15 / if the rifle fits wear it rack. All CUCV's have the rifle racks from GM factory except M1010. They are non combatant vehicles. But I like your truck it looks great. The upper bracket can really make your upper shoulder blade feel great if it is loose and hanging inward and you...

I had a text asking me if I was changing the rear main seal. NO. I was disconnecting all 8 pushrods and the main bearings so I could spin the crank shaft enough to get all 6 of the converter bolts out. In the past if I had an engine locked up I would remove the oil pan and find the busted rod or...

1 year ago I was removing an engine from this M1008 dually CUCV. The owner had the rear main seal changed and was talked into changing the oil pump. The new oil pump did not have a long enough pickup tube and resulted in the engine seizing once the truck was 1-1/2 quarts low on oil. I seen the...

Do you recommend anything to clean/remove the resin on the tailgate form the old seals? I am not sure what resin it is that you speak of. Also the bent sash should be repaired or replaced for installing new side window guides. That sash is fitted the same thickness as the glass and must glide...

This set works well. I have used mine a few times and it was a gift from my Wife. She heard me say I wanted to get a punch set. I received this and a nail set of 3 different sizes. Not what I wanted but I said Thank you anyway. Good Luck.

Any progress to report? Just checking in.

I'm not done with that art piece yet. I have more things to add to complete it. And it will be outside in the weather. I have a great idea that I am going to work on. But lights. I don't think they will be needed. Or maybe. Undecided at this point. Easy enough to do. Thank you. Take Care.

The other thing I noticed was blue markings the mechanic placed on the round piece (with numbers) on the transfer case. Is it still ok to take things apart as you said? I just want to make sure he didn’t align something before I take more things a part. Take that 10mm hex head off and remove...

Keeping to my word I started sanding the pancake mixed CARC tan paint from the nice rust free GM fender. Nice loader marks have been there 25 years and I stored these damaged fenders. Back then I could buy Genuine GM fenders for about $125. I sanded the fender with 80 grit for about an hour...

I started out measuring and cutting the hood for my art piece. I installed a stone screen in the core support to shade and fill the void where the radiator goes. I thought about a radiator and decided that was adding to much weight. After removing the safety latch and spring I set the hood in...

I have a used one on a frame. Are you interested?

FELPRO Air Cleaner Gasket, 60038

Loosen the 2 M10 15 mm nuts under the hood and the 2 M10 nuts under the dash. You may be able to shift the column a little. I think it may be just the black bezel because it can not seat completely onto the idiot light filters with the clear plastic cluster lenses. That was my observation when...
