I have picked up two M1009 Blazers in Jeff City, and both have been nice units. Mike and the folks on the base are nice to deal with. Chris

I put seats and a console in my other M1009 this weekend. Seat came out of a wrecked PT Crusier and were easy to adapt to the existing seat brackets. I made a custom bracket to mount the chevy console. Chris

I finished up the front seat bracket fabrication and got them installed in Blazer.Seats go in next and then hook up the power to everything.

I have been doing a bunch of work on the redo of one of my M1009's and thought some of the folks on the boards might enjoy the pictures. I just put in insulation and carpet, a Chevy console, and then put in the stereo head unit and the two front speakers. I have made side panels and top rail...

I will look into the corner issue. The corners are schedule 40 pipe, and gusseted on three sides. The friend helping me is a professional metal fabricator and welder, with lots of race expierence, but I do want to be safe right side up, or upside down. Chris

When done it will be to the frame, not sheet metal. (pipe to plate to frame, otherwise I agree it is a waste of time). I am not that concerned on wheel wells, but certainly am on the two hoops. It is just partially tack welded now, and I agree not very pretty, yet. I like the prefab corners...

I am in the process of putting a roll cage in one of my M1009's. I am using schedule 80 pipe, and gussets, and it seems to be shaping up pretty nice. Thought some folks might like to see pictures. Chris

I am going to convert it to 3/4 ton 4:10 gears (have those completed already) with a 3" lift and 33" tires, and have a big block 454 to go in it. Should be able to live up to all the flames eventually. Chris

Love it or hate it, here is one of my m1009's in CARC Flames. Chris

Nice, but not original leather seats can be found in a good salvage yards at a reaonable price. I am using some in a M1009 rebuild I am doing. The ones I found are very nice and were very inexpensive. Also found a nice console to go between the front buckets. I am doing front and rear bucket...

LMC Truck on the internet also sells the spray on dye. I have used it on a number of interior pieces, and I have had very good luck with their product. Chris

Rear seat folds over and then forward against the back of the front seats. I am not sure on the width, but I think a 42" seat will clear between the fender wells, as I had thought about an aftermarket back seat at one point. Chris

I found the weapons tray I was looking for from a member on the boards. I am now looking for a HMMWV turret to purchase, if any one has one for sale or knows were there is one available. Send me a PM or post a reply. Thank you. Chris

My last one was very quick by GL standards. Some place around 30 days.

I have looked around the one in Rolla and have not seen any CUCV parts. I am not sure of the name and number of the owner. There is a house on the property, but there is never anyone around. Chris

Mine did the same thing, the wire was worn in the steering column. Pull and patch the wire and problem should be solved, until it wears again. Chris

Correction on the above post only 4 lights not 14! The four lights will also be a nice feature on the blazer. Chris

I am in the process of putting a roll cage in my 1009 and then the plan is to add a fairly nice stereo system. I found something in the salvage yard (never say Junk) that I think will work for me and thought I would pass it along to any other member that is interested. I found a couple of late...

I needed another Blazer like a hole in my head, but I just couldn't stand it and couldn't help myself. I am going to have to look for a CUCV 12 step program. Chris

PM is sent out to you on the parts. Thank you. Chris
