That is not a correct CUCV pintle, and the box with the ball is civvie too, that is all coming off tonight (the box ans ball will be retained for future reference if needed). The star is 3" and means it was driven by a General!

YES! Photos are always welcome:) I am going to repaint mine on Monday, here is another pic of that bumper for you:

I got the tires balanced and that killed the wobble, I drove 25 miles today and it did not happen once. I am still going to replace the shocks and steering dampener, just because

Here is the one on my M1028, from a Air Force donor M1008 (Fairchild AFB)

As of this morning I have something new to add to the Ugly MV discussion: My brush painted Gulf War vet M1028 (with Air Force donor bed)... I already have a spray gun and a gallon of 686 Tan I bought a year ago for just such an occasion...

Mine turns out to NOT have had a M1031 bed, it was a civvie tool box bed. I drove her around a bit today and I love her already, although she has the dreaded "Death Wobble"! I got the tires balanced (that helped) and have new shocks and a steering damper on order, that should cure it, the truck...

I like her! She needs a deep clean, some paint and some shock absorbers, but is otherwise tight as a drum!

Some insulation came off but the only true loss was the fuseable link to the glow plug relay, burnt right up. I have it bypassed right now with some wire but I need to fix it correctly. I have wondered the same, would an inline fuse holder do the job?

BTW: I did find one to buy! I am going to buy the one in markg's avatar, I will be picking her up in the morning, I will post some pix soon. It is a M1028 that had a 1031 box put on the back by someone (Army I guess), NP208 t-case (NO PTO option) that did at least some time on Ft. Hood (brake...

I think that may have something to do with availability post-military, I did find a couple for sale with NO axles:shock:, however all the cool kids are running other axles these days, only the old timers are using Dana 60s any more (according to friends, I don't know myself...)

Some of my glow plugs in the M1009 are bad and when it's real cold out the truck will start and run bad for a few moments, passing light gray smoke and making a "wop wop wop" sound till all of the cylinders even out and then it runs fine. If all the glow plugs were bad I doubt it would start at all.

I saw the subject line and thought "what the blazes is a CUCV IV?" I know CUCV, CUCV II, CUCV III but no IV. NOW I get it, like the mule "#7" in the Grizzly Adams show, this truck is the fourth one rescued, GOOD JOB, carry on...

I can tell you from first hand experience that if your starter is running away due to a bad relay or solenoid and you disconnect the neg lead from the FRONT battery ONLY you can get 12v to feed back to the starter and it will continue to crank slowly, and while you are frantically trying to...

I think "all fluids drained" scared off potential bidders.

Unless the truck in question is a M9xxA2 it will be air over hydraulic brakes so a Class-A is not required for that reason, however that point is moot as the GVW of ANY military 5ton is greater than #26,000, Class-A required. As one of our members found out, Texas DPS does not care WHY you are...

Did you get the 1028 that closed a couple of weeks ago? If I had sold my Deuce at that point I would have wrassled you for it:) My spy tells me that one is very nice and well worth what you paid. Mr. Holcolmb (the GL man) is a very nice guy and very helpful. Be SURE you have the REGISTRATION...

I am going to look at markg's truck tomorrow, I think we will be able to come to an agreement:)

I have heard tales of a whole secured yard full of them at Ft.Hood just sitting there, but that does me no good if they don't sell them...

There are six on eBay right now: two very nice ones out of my price range, one modified, one "ran when parked", one with a poss blown motor and one nice but incomplete... Slim Pickens! I really don't want to have to ship one but I may just have to. Are you going to have a hurricane sale Mr...

So I sold my M35A2 to buy a M1028, should be easy, right? I have been looking all over and found almost NO M1028/M1008 for sale! I am in Central Texas so a close one would be sweet, but when I stretch the search out nationwide I only find a few, and when the modified trucks (12v, swamp buggy...
