Here are some with the cages on them. Sadly the only pics I have are the trucks that also have the tarps over the cages.
As eme411 stated, this was very common for the trucks. There is actually a cage for these for sale on kijiji in Ontario last I looked.
BTW, here is the service/overhaul manual for the 1976 Chevrolet trucks in a PDF. Also known as the FSM (Factory Service Manual).
It is not the military manual, but it covers just about everything you need to fix up one of these trucks, so I doubt most people really care. As the only real...
I have heard of some people doing this (buying a truck from GL that doesn't have an EUC and bringing it back to Canada with the SF97) but I don't know how they have done it (no one actually says how they do it). You need a title/registration to go through customs (both US customs and Canadian...
Keep up the hard work. It will pay off in the end. I have been working on my 89 Crew Cab for the past year and am still not complete. I only finally got it painted a few weeks ago. No engine swap needed for mine though, since it has a 7.4L 454 in her which hauls butt just sitting at idle.

I posted this in a thread where someone was looking for the manual a while back. But...
Do not know what he is currently asking for it.
I did not drive it, but he owner said he did drive it home after he bought it, and it drove/ran very well.
As I said above, the truck is located in Smiths Falls, Ontario.
Well as long as you are happy with your purchase then it is all good.
We got an M1008, M1009, M1010 and an M1031 here.
Yes the M1009 is for sale. Maybe we could do a deal if you are finding that the M1010 is a little too big for you. I am located just north of Brockville.
MilChevyGuy, you wouldn't happen to be one of the guys that outbid me for one of the M1010's selling down in Toronto a few months back where you? ;)
Nice truck. If you do decide to get rid of the ambulance box, please let me know. I have been watching kijiji for the past few months to see if...

You can see the original military green paint on some pieces of the trim.

Sssssssshhhhhhh..............!!!!!
Some people here have wives that read this site! We don't want them to hear things like that!
I need all these trucks/trailers! Um....the doctor says I need them to make my back feel better so that I can take out the garbage or clean out the garage when...
Like the others have stated, it is usually a bad ground that is the main problem when flashers are not working.
Now this might seem like a dumb question, but did you check to see if the flasher module is still on the truck? I ask because one of our trucks all of a sudden no longer had any...
And as stated back when this thread was started, install a coolant filter on the engine after you are finished. It will make sure all your hard work of cleaning out the system won't go to waste if you get something in there.
The assembly bracket is part #4019 at NAPA (it comes with the 90degree...
Good work. Looks like it came originally from GM like that. :-D
Yeah that stupid shift tab has broken on 3 of the 5 CUCV's here. I fixed it the M1009 just last week.
Not the best looking, but it works and the bezel covers it up. And more importantly it shouldn't break again ;)

Have a few trailers sitting around.
Two MKT's, M840 dolly set, M989, M116 Hydraulic Tool Trailer, M116 Pioneer Tool Trailer, M104 Water Buffalo, 1950's M100 trailer, etc
Then I have this M116 Pioneer Tool Trailer which I converted into an expo trailer. Replaced the axle with a much lighter...
Exhaust on these gets really hot. If you are driving it around when it is dark/at night, the exhaust glows red. Exhaust pipe and muffler is discolored on ours as well.
