OK I have been asked where this military boom box would be located in my M1028. I would lay it on it's back on the transmission tunnel. And before you ask, I did away with the TC shift lever in favor of a cable shifter located beside the driver's seat. As soon as mama gives me the OK, I'm...

Thanks for your reply. I think I have found it - .50 CAL A-BOX™ The Original Ammo Can Boombox New 2023 | Thodio

Instead of installing a radio in my M1028, my wife wants to get me a military-themed bluetooth boom box for Christmas. Anybody ever heard of such a crazy thing? After thinking about it, it makes sense, because all my old country songs are on my phone. Beam me up Scotty. And because of all...

Rick I may be interested in your M1009 stuff. I'll reach out to you via phone soon to discuss.

Funny you say that. I've been looking for a low-or-no rust M1009 for my next project. When I install the P400 / 765R4 / NP241 into my M1028, I will have an extra complete, original, clean, 15,000-mile OEM drivetrain with no home. There have been several guys wanting it, but they are wanting...

Just sent you a PM.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just listed a brand-new Bowtie Level 2 k-case 700R4 transmission in the classifieds. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/brand-new-bowtie-level-2-700r4.209342/post-2472769

Hi. I've been silently following your thread. In my humble opinion you are making very good decisions. Regarding an engine - I'm not sure of your financial situation, but have you considered simply purchasing a 6.5 crate motor and adding all the CUCV accessories to it? Not a turbo, mind you...

Ditto what Patracy said about the bracket. If you don't know already, there are two (2) different brackets; one for the original OEM direct-drive starter, and then a different bracket for the newer gear-reduction starters. They are not interchangeable. You will need to know which starter you...

Great write-up. Thanks for posting.

Yeah the NP208 takes a Speedi Sleeve #99187 from National. NAPA should have this, or can get it. It comes with a driving cup to install the sleeve onto the yoke shaft. When you go to install the sleeve on the shaft, make sure you don't drive it too far on the yoke that the rubber flange of...

@Sharecropper , This is FANTASTIC and Thank You for already having the answer! That's why I make the big bucks. :p

No problem! https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/leaky-front-transfer-case-seal-maybe-not.195119/

If I were you I would leave the Gimmy as-is and use it. Then find and rebuild a 6.2 or 6.5 engine for the CUCV. Just my 2 cents..............

Thanks for posting. I watched every video. Quite an adventure! Sounds like the Cowdog did good. Regarding brakes, an upgrade is on my list as well. I've already installed rear discs and removed the load equalizer. The truck stops on a dime going forward or backward, even when wet. But I...

I ran a separate wire from the negative buss on the firewall to the negative screw on the tach. Worked like a charm.

It's THOSE Rick. THOSE engine bracket kits.

My Vintage Air unit ain't gonna die. Hail it probably won't ever be turned on. o_O
