Fixed, i wrote it in word. That's why the black font. Also, cutting and pasting into the forum does strange formating things to the text. Thanks, David

The M1008 has all new GP system/plugs/card/switch,starter relay upgrade ect... and the batteries are 6mos old group 31 Exide made in 2012. Previously the volt meter has always been dead on the hash mark and Gen lights work correctly. The truck has been sitting for a few months with weekly...

Well the Navy Blue truck is done. Overall it turned out great, it's an 18K mile truck so not much to complain about! David

Kool, thanks. David

These look nice, how thick is the canvas? Is it like the old pup tent material or more like the canvas that the duffel bags are made of? Thanks, David

What brand of cargo rack and where did you buy? Thanks

Maybe you should spend all your time doing the sanding and filler work on the dents? Take off all the trim you can. You can use spray cans of primer over the filler, then take the truck to http://maaco.com/ near you and have them shoot the primer and top coat the truck. This will be better time...

Yep, that's a very fair shop rate for "resto" work. David

That is a VERY good price! David

Thanks Wallew! The Paint code is SW6244"Naval". The paint color is darker than these photos as they were taken when it was still wet and in full sun. This morning I came out and it was some darker and flatter. The rockers are tricky. The patch panels are cheap but the time to install them is...

Painted Took advantage of the nice weather and painted the truck. It's SW Kem 400 Naval Blue. I am going to use this paint on all my trucks from now on. It's much tougher than the Rapco paint. The paint is still wet it will flatten out and get darker once dry. David

"Good to know. It's a mechanic I know won't screw me on price. And I trust his work. Talk about a rarity. " Yep. The sheet metal is cheap, it's the labor thats runs up the price. David

Just the rockers are about $600.00 That is a good price for all that work.2cents

bodywork... Got both rockers installed and first coat of filler, I still have to go over it again. I have about 80% bodywork done. I am looking forward to painting this truck as is going to be Dark Navy Blue. David

I have a friend who is in dire need of expert help tracking down a electric problem with his M1009 CUCV. It keeps blowing the 20 amp GP fuse in the fuse block (I am told). They have VERY limited knowledge and just want to take the truck to someone and get it fixed. Please PM me any info...

Yep that's the stuff Sher-Kem 400...VERY tough stuff and sticks to anything then is hard as nails...great product for Army trucks. My paint guy says he can mix any color so I am going to see what their 383 looks like in the SK 400. SW are the ones who supply the current CARC Mil spec paint and I...
