    just took in a m101a1

    Nice score. It’s old but looks to be in good shape except for the wood. Is there a Data plate on the front frame? Can’t tell in the pics It will show model and make & year of manufacture. I see the data plate on the front of the bed. That will/should also show that info also. Post a picture as...

    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    The two I received are not official “government contract” models per say. As mentioned above, they were trial extras that were painted different for other customers. Green one is slightly different color than official 383 green and the brown/primer one was a trial for someone else. Brown one is...

    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    The handles were shipped USPS and were very well packaged with each handle wrapped in cardboard. Definitely worth the money. I feel like I’ve completed a quest since I’ve been looking for these correct, brand new levers for so long. Now to buy more.

    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    New levers arrived. He sent the two different color ones at a much discounted rate. I can paint them no sweat! He told me these were laying around shop and they didn’t want to bother painting them. They do come with all new hardware! That was a nice surprise. The primer/brownish lever looks to...

    Choctaw h140 Heater Problems

    Go to the Technical Manual section of this site and see if there’s a TM for your heater. Download it for free and follow the troubleshooting instructions. I don’t own one of those so I’m no help.

    I have too Many CUCV's and Parts

    Your very close to Ft. Hood. (I lived in Marble Falls for a while). Watch the GP auctions and one will turn up there at some point, as I’ve seen some in the background of pictures of other auction items. Yes Prices are going up steadily on CUCVs. Unmolested stock ones are getting harder...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Your correct. We just had a massive ice storm in October that had us on generator for almost 6 days. Didn’t drive the CUCV then either.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Brushed off the snow and started it. First time it’s ran in a week or so. Fired right up. This is a lot of snow for Oklahoma. I know, it’s a dusting for you guys up north.

    CUCV Gear Indicator Issue

    If you own a CUCV, you had better start learning to work on it yourself or have really deep pockets of cash to pay a mechanic. As already mentioned, learning to work on these is fun and a necessity. Plenty of guys here that know these CUCVs extremely well and will help you navigate the...

    7520lbs and 130 hp

    Buy a different Truck. One that was actually designed for what you’re requiring. CUCVs were never meant for power. Sticker on my 1987 M1008A1 engine says 155hp. Bone stock. It does everything I ask if it. But I also know it’s NOT a Duramax, Cummins or whatever Turbocharged engine and treat...

    M101 Trailer Series: Brand New Brake Levers

    I’ve seen them on a few surplus trailers on GP but could never find any info on them. I’ve never seen any for sale. Guyfang spotted the cage number on one recent pic from another thread and looked them up and posted info. I took that info and ran with it. We now have a source for the...
