    CUCV Military Tires VS Civilian Tires???

    Wheels Thanks! I do like to way the H1’s looks, but am having a real hard time justifying the price of a set of 12 bolts with 37’s. They want $800.00 plus $150.00 shipping. Then you add the spacers… anyway I don’t really care about the run flat’s and airing down for serious off road use. But...

    CUCV Military Tires VS Civilian Tires???

    16x8 "The price you have for the wheel tire combo is kinda high in my opinion. Also, the 16x8 steel wheels you mentioned, DON'T use them" I agree with the price. Yep, I know the H1 are 16.5 and the stock are 16, I was talking about putting new M/T aftermarket tires (16's )on the 16x8...

    CUCV Military Tires VS Civilian Tires???

    Tires Hey Dale, good to talk to you again, yep i suspect it's personal choice and that's why I was fishing for opinions. Thaks, for the info on the 36's. I really like the way they look but had a very hard time getting them to run smooth (never did). Another thing to consider is that the H1...

    CUCV Military Tires VS Civilian Tires???

    Tires Burbin10, your truck looks great with the 37's. So you went with the aftermarket AR wheels, and the military tires. And thanks for the reply about how they ride and handle. So you have about $850.00 +/- in your tire/wheel combo, not to mention the $$ spent on the suspension. I was trying...

    CUCV Military Tires VS Civilian Tires???

    Ok, I have searched the past threads and read all of everything I could find on the tires for CUCV’s. But I have still had a question and would value some opinions. My last M1008 came with the H1 8 bolts and the 36 inch bias ply Goodyear tires and I love the way they looked on the truck and...

    Dash Pad Oh yeah, I know it sounds crazy but this guy on e-Bay has NEW correct type dash pads for the CUCV for around $150.00, and they are nice. Not the cheep caps or the Polyurethane rubber type junk. Good seller also. David eBay Store - Mustang Cougar Performance: Category 10...

    New Resto of my M1008

    M1008 Yea, I did the same thing I do on all my classic cars for customers, I dye the small plastic parts and replace all the big soft stuff. The seat cover is custom and brand new. Much better stuff than the original. No lift of the truck just some very minor front fender trim needed. The...

    New Resto of my M1008

    Thanks! Yes, I thought about painting the wheels black, maybe I will. The wheel spacers are 2 inch and work great to center the H1 wheels on the hubs. The dash pad is NEW and the seat cover is a custom new cover, with new floor mat. The door panels and everything else was taken apart cleaned...

    H2 Wheel questions

    choice I don't mean to hijack the thread, but before I go to the trouble of changing out my wheels and tires..one question. What would you rather have on a truck you are buying? H2 wheels and tires...OR H1 wheels and tires like these?? What's more valuable to the MV guy? Thanks, David

    H2 Wheel questions

    wheels Billett, one question. Can you run the stock H2 rim without any kind of spacer and have the wheel not contact the suspension/brakes? In other words, is the back spacing correct on the H2's for the M1008? David

    H2 Wheel questions

    wheels I will mount up the H2 rims this weekend and take a few pictures. From what I remember last time I did this was the BS was greater on the H1 rims than the H2 rims. So the H2 rims stuck out further on the outside. 2cents

    H2 Wheel questions

    wheels I have H1 8 lugs wheels and tires on the truck now, the H2 wheels are the same bolt pattern..not sure about the BS. the H2 wheels are 17x 8.5 inchs wide. I mounted the H2 wheels on the truck with the 2 inch spacer I use on the H1 wheels and they stuck outside the fender much more than...

    H2 Wheel questions

    H2 wheels Yes, the bolt patternn is the same, however the H2 rims will NOT fit over the front hub on the truck. The other question is weather the back spacing is OK. I just tried this with my truck and on the front with a 315 BFG tire the back spacing was too much. The solution would be to...

    3 M1009's recovered today from "The Ranch"

    M1008 Vs Deuce Let's apply the same logic to Clinton at C&C ...he restores and sells Deuces for more money than anyone else on this board (Check e-bay) How much did he get for his crew cab deuce??? Because he is in business to do just that and fills a market segment ( more power to him). Same...
