    84 m1009 cucv chevy blazer build-up

    Have you considered adding 2 more lifting brackets so you can lift the engine via 4 points instead of 2? That’s what I did with my P400. If a bracket or chain were to break during engine installation with only 2 brackets, the additional stress on the remaining bracket and chain would probably...

    Cucv fan clutch engagement?

    I agree with what Barrman says. Have you considered abandoning the clutch fan and using an electric fan? When fully engaged the clutch fan rob’s horsepower.

    Hubs were locked all this time........

    I’ve always locked my hubs occasionally just to keep things lubed up.

    Optimizer Engine

    Thanks for those kind words. Building a great CUCV has been my dream for the past several years. Career obligations got in the way of finishing it early on, then all these health issues arose. I hope I am able to finish the truck, I guess these next surgeries will determine what happens. Up...

    I hear ya. But here is my logic - I am 70 years old. I have had 2 heart attacks. I have had 6 major surgeries. I have 2 artificial hips and 1 artificial knee. I have 2 ruptured vertebrae in my neck which are tearing into my spinal cord as I write this. My surgery for this neck issue is...

    Question about Rebuilt(?) TH-400

    I swear, from what I have read, I don’t believe I could take it back to Grampa. If there is a way to stop payment on your credit card, I would do it and inform Gramps that you are. I would then sit down and document everything that happened in chronological order. Give Gramps a copy. But move on...

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

    I think those are the tallest antennas I have ever seen on a CUCV.

    Power steering bracket

    I think most folk don’t realize that there are four (4) bolts holding the power steering pump in place. If either of these bolts become broken or loose, additional stress is transferred to the other three. There is one bolt on the bottom rear of the pump which attaches to a bracket on the...

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    Thanks. But I am way ahead. I already have a new bronze valve that I plan to install in the floor between the bucket seats. I prefer to control the switching between tanks by hand instead of relying on an electric part which could malfunction in a remote area. I will have a toggle switch on the...

    Power steering bracket

    Tom - look in the -34P TM and find the diagram which shows the bracket. Then look on the next page and get the GM part number. I believe it is the second or third number over from the left column. Then go on EBay and search that part number. There are usually a couple on there from time to time...

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    Thanks for the offer, however I probably should simply purchase a skid plate from Hillbilly Wizard because he is set-up to ship to me already. I have a few other things I need to get from him anyway.

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    I just now ordered 2 of the Spectra steel tanks, 2 sets of Spectra straps, and 2 sets of pads from Kentucky Speed Shop. All I need now is a tank skid plate and I will probably reach out to John at Hillbilly for that. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    Rick I just knew you were going to catch me on this LOL! I plan to use the brackets off your tank and will blast & paint them. The tank is just so rusty, it will be easier for me to simply buy a new tank rather than spend the time in sanding and reconditioning your tank. At thus stage in my life...

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    But having said that, I might change my mind tomorrow. I’ll sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow.

    Replacement Fuel Tank

    Yeah I’m leaning towards the MTS plastic tank from Gas Tank Depot. It’s actually polyethylene, a stronger cross-linked high density polymer. And they are Made In The USA. I think I’ll order 2 of ‘em tomorrow and order the brackets and straps for the passenger side from LMC. I’ll document all...
