Don't forget BIAB1s big brother "Easter Find" that Cucvrus built is missing his sibling that moved to Germany.

Sounds like one or more of the battery cells are shorted. The battery load test will tell all.

A few years back. Maybe their stock is depleted.

Diesel Glow Plug Temp Sensor (#TX-47) for Chevrolet G30 Sportvan 85-87 (autosparepartsmart.com) $16.00

I think you missed your calling. If your "Back Yard Mechanic" gig gets old you can always become a cartoon artist. Nice job

Try not to waist time second guessing why the PO did the resistor by-pass. The resistor rarely goes bad but??? maybe he was replacing a lot of GPs and thought that would solve the problem. My glow plugs in my M1009 have being going strong for more than 10 years now. But I don't start it or drive...

It sounds as if your truck has had several modifications. Unfortunately, "unless the PO has left you a modification log" you will have to figure them out for yourself. That's why I'm a firm believer of oem parts and repairs and not "re-designing" these trucks. Now you will have to trace each...

Glad you made it. You probably passed by my place on state rt 20 heading to Albany. You said your ride had a lack of power at 30-45 mph. Keep in mind, your driving a "Big Brick" and you slowed it down a bit more pushing allot of air with that 7ft plow. I trust photos of your new ride are in the...

Nice. That BEHR 383 green looks like a close match to the original after it dried. Now for the camo paint scheme and a ladder to get in and your ready for business.

Not sure about a Deuce but my M1008 and M1009 are both registered Historic in NY and registered as passenger vehicles. No issues that I recall during the registration process

Have you ever completed your painting project? Project photos?

After seeing those photos I think "just to be safe" you need to totally scrap that CUCV. There is just no repairing that thermal board.

I agree with Curtisje. Fix it by replacing the oem relay. Keep in mind; Any and all relays will fail and weld themselves if you have weak or undercharged batteries or low voltage. Other causes; If your starter is drawing to many amps or your truck has starting/running issues and you have to...

Great looking restoration. But now that I'm getting older and fatter, I'm eyeing that rocker step. What brand/style is that? Can't wait for your photo shoot to be released.

The OP of that old thread had no fluid in his power steering pump thus causing his whirling noise. Your problem???

Rick, Did you mean the 1967-1977 F250 "High Boy" trucks with the factory suspension lift? If memory serves me right they had 3 drive shafts. They were good old trucks in their day.

From the looks of the amount of rust and the wiring mess; You may want to take the radiator cap off and drive a new truck under it. You do have a challenging task on your hands. By the way, what happened to your firewall? I don't think you should drive that even if you did get it to run. It's...

The M ten oh nine is what I always use. Or just confuse people and call it a CUC-VE.

I believe if you keep these trucks as "stock as possible" in regards to "not reinventing the wheel" with their design, they could last another 35 plus years. In a well maintained truck there is no need to modify starter relays or convert to glow plug push button systems. If you find a need to...
