Right rear I set the spring in place and right away I knew it had more arch. the shock absorber had to be removed at the top eye to allow the axle to drop more. Same deal with the springs in the rear. Easy. I noticed the centering pin was a bit long. I set the clamping plate on the springs and...

Today was a very busy and cold day. I started out early and hauled in 4 loads of firewood. I went to the barn and worked on the M1009 project. I was able to get all 4 new stock leaf springs installed. The electric heat helps but a barn is a hard thing to heat. I need to do some weather proofing...

I think you pretty well answered your own question. But you do know the block will still be full of water if that is all that is in it at this time. Good Luck. And Happy New Year to you.

As far as I know. That was all he had off the truck at the alternator shop was the alternators. But after the truck came back the idiot lights worked. Go figure.

I have a few extra face plates for the cluster if you need one. Let me know. Merry Christmas.

You can put gauges in the cluster holes. That would look good.

Some good old redneck fun. There is more than 1 way to tear down a house. (2) Facebook

Now that you described it that way. Throttle pedal needs taken off the firewall. After it is off and cleaned it needs lightly greased and reinstalled. i had several that had that same issue with the throttle pedal. after 35 years grease and lubrication tend to disappear. Merry Christmas.

Drone vibration. Are you sure it was not the fuel door on the bed side vibrating or the skid plate on the fuel tank? Also the air cleaner housing could be loose or cracked and vibrate. Hard telling. These old rattle traps can vibrate granite to sand in a few years. Merry Christmas back at you.

Of Course they are the stock M1009 axles. Do you think I would alter the perfect design. I was building this for me. I wanted to retain maximum value and authenticity. That is without the antenna brackets and any other add on stuff that wasn't much interest to me. I just sold 2 new in crate...

CAB? This whole M1009 is nice. I have had this stashed away in my barn the past 25 years. I bought it with 12,K miles on it. It was a 28th Infantry Fort Indiantown Gap vehicle. I waited a long time to get an SF97. The first one arrived with an incomplete VIN . I received another with no VIN...

I bought them at Stanley Springs on Cameron Street in Harrisburg PA. https://www.daytonparts.com/dpweb/App_11/Info_site/info_enter_iframe_pages.asp?app=info_company_history.asp&hdr=Dayton%20Parts%20LLC I waited 2 weeks to get them but they were readily available. They make a huge difference on...

Hey let me know. I have some really nice ones that look perfect on the Kubota's. I have the B/U lamps on a toggle at the rear of the light. All the lights work and I have the amber flashers still hooked up and the turns on the LED's. It lights up at night real well. I have a strobe for the roll...

I have heat in the barn. Today was my goal to go get the 4 new leaf springs. Goal met. I was able to work a full day and get to the spring shop before 4PM. All new U-bolts washer and nuts. Side by side comparison of old rear springs verses new. My 220 lbs. can easily compress the old. The new...

Are you into breaking things off? My Brother used to make everything Bull tight. He broke off more bolts and fittings then the entire family combined. Everything has a breaking point and that bolt has evidently met its. Use a square easy out and tap it in lightly. Get smaller wrenches and know...

Strange as it is they made the fuel filler cap all huge and the neck fitting going into the tank is the same size as every civilian fuel tank that was ever made. Nothing impressive about the fuel fill system on a CUCV. You can fill up at he truck island. Happy Holidays.

Scary. This same thought came to my mind when I read convoy lights. I was the group leader in the micro bus. Imagine that? Happy Holidays. You wanna give me a 10-9 on that?

Mad Texan I have a new set of LED tail lamps for the rear of your M1010. Get back to me. They are the same exact duplicate design as stock M1010 lights but in LED. They have the LED B/U and the LED plate light and plate bracket. Get back to me. You were a Good Boy and Santa is feeling generous...

What are convoy night lights?
