    Passenger Side Fuel Door

    Since we are on the subject, I plan to place a center tank on my M1028 to replace the saddle tank. I want to move the fuel door from the front left side of the bed to the rear right side of the bed. Has anyone ever done this? I came across people using filler necks inside the beds, but I do not...

    Passenger Side Fuel Door

    I guess most here are the DIY type, but for those interested, it looks like LMC has complete bed side panels with the fuel door hole.

    Complete steering replacement on my K30

    A quick Google search using that part number shows 84-94 on that, so that seems a pretty safe range to look for. The file work is needed anyway so the bolt can pass through. Here's a nice guide for the install...

    Complete steering replacement on my K30

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

    Finally got someone to help me remove the bed. Had it all loose and ready to go. Also got the tank out from under the donor M1009. Has anyone here ever added a rear fuel tank to a truck? After having a quick look at cross member placement, it seems that both trailer hitches' supports are...

    CUCV brush gaurd

    I've had to deal with this over the weekend. Found out that using an angle grinder to make 4 cuts per head, making it square and then smashing them out with a hammer worked well. This does leave some marks on the bumper, but nothing too bad if you're careful.

    How To Remove The Inner Fender + Battery Trays on a CUCV

    Too bad it wasn't online a couple weeks earlier... But great video! Videos actually, I see some more useful ones on your channel. Liked and saved for future reference.

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

    Started stripping the M1009. I'm going to store the engine and transmission as spares. I have a big pallet I want to put the engine on and have it able to be run every now and then (not just cranking the starter, but actually running it) so it stays properly lubed up inside. It might be in...

    Dash Pad Replacement

    I guess I have to agree with cucvrus' DIY aproach... (WIP obviously :-o) By the way, those are 2 single DIN storage units (from my VW Polo) I put in there.

    Created some space so I can start working on my trucks. M1009 will be stripped for parts, some to be used on the M1028, others will be sold. https://youtu.be/_VzcG32wDPE Kind of a useless video, but I love the sound! :D

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

    I purchased a Silhouette Cameo 2 plotter/cutter to make my own stencils. It cuts really well. I could not wait to apply some stenciling, so I took some vinyl sticker foil that came with it to make some stencils and started painting. I cleaned and degreased the surface, but the cold wasn't...

    Dumb question

    That explains something that happened to me recently. I was in a rush changing belts recently, forgot to disconnect batteries and loosened the alternator. It grounded to the engine/chassis and there was smoke everywhere (engine crud?) and I saw a wire glow up like a light bulb! I almost **** my...
