    I've been getting a few things done. Replaced the horn- couldn't be saved. Bled the brakes. Stopped a power steering leak on the return line. I bought some additional reverse lights but haven't installed them yet. I have been diagnosing the heater in the back. I'm getting close with it! I have...

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

    Why do I feel a country song coming on?!?!? 'I was away, and when I got home... The CUCV and the dog were gone' :shrugs:

    Thank You Joshuak! I found that part number as well and was able to find the assembly which led me to the datasheet with the bulb info. This morning on Ebay I found some images of the holder. Looking at them I starting to believe the spring is in the body of the bulb holder itself. I'll have...

    OK M1010'ers... Looking for a little help. I had a little time to play around with the truck today. I started looking at the heater in the back. I cracked the drain in the back and took whiff... certainly not fresh and a varnish smell. The start/ run switch was not working but some WD40 and a...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    You have had your box apart but this has been a good reference guide without have to tear anything apart: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?146746-M1010-ambulance-box-build-reference&highlight=m1010 The studs are 16" apart so the window you linked might work well! It is less...

    I think you just explained why I haven't found them... And if they are mounted and don't leak all the better. Yes some light and fresh air is what I would be after. Mine is a little cave like, it doesn't help that the sea foam green was painted over with a gray color making it even darker inside.

    Thanks! I like that it's easy to add the tank but I didn't want all the wiring issues for the OE valve. So I took a different route. I still need a few things to finish up the other side but getting her running reliable has been the priority. Trying to get back to the pieces needed soon. 90...

    Well, gremlins have shown up and done things in the truck... in a positive way?!?! The overhead fluorescent light is gone out my truck and has been replaced with a small RV light. This was not a problem, if it worked. Well it hadn't! I checked bulbs, flipped switches, checked for power and...

    Great progress and looks like it was an awesome trip! The tires look like Cooper ST Maxx which I have on my daily driver and think they are great. Just wondering if there is a manufacturer's name on you windows? I like the way they fit inside the wall 'studs' tightly. I've been looking for some...

    Don't worry! With us all at different points with our trucks, we are all making each other broke! If you think I don't have a laundry list of things to do... well. It grows faster that I get things done. My main focus when I started was getting her reliable, especially since she died on the road...

    M1031 to RV tug..

    These are great tires! I have run a couple of sets on my daily driver F150 in the 255/80/17 variety. They wander a bit when they are new and take some miles (heat cycles) to come around. When I first switched from the 285/70/17's that were old and very stiff to these, I had a few surprises on...

    That looks like a good plan for quieting down the cab. I haven't got that far so far. I did remove the jute from under the rubber mat which exposed some small issues... but nothing to bad. It might be spring before I get back to working inside the cab. Need to do the door and window seals as...

    I have had a loose belt on my upper alternator and the adjustment was maxed out. While apart I figured I would install the smaller belt I had picked up. I found that when I changed to the 12v alternators they are slightly different shape which doesn't allow movement to smallest adjustment. Not a...

    It fits... like I said it needs a little massaging at the exhaust manifold flange. It's too big to fit inside the studs of the manifold to seat properly. I added a picture to show better what I mean by that. Use the old flare as a guide. My passenger side pipe exit is a few inches short from...

    Weather hasn't cooperated with my times but I have been working on a few things... I got a fuse block for my switches in the ashtray area... Cleaned up in the back and removed the forward rack on the left side. Took care of the harmonic balancer with a new one which took two tries from...

    Here is a link to my truck. I've also watched yours on Portal as well... ORD's reputation is certainly excellent and I will continue assembling parts to lift mine. It is both good and bad that they didn't have more things on sale for black Friday... :whistle...

    That look awesome! Suspension look great too. I just got notice that some stuff I ordered from ORD shipped so I'm waiting for that to come in.

    A few things done this week... Box isn't looking so good?!?!? But everything was in there. Old mufflers were spent... pipes were in better shape than expected. A total of four cuts and release the hangers and was able to get the system out. I had wire brushed and soaked the manifold studs and...
