    M1009 Whip Antenna Tie Down

    I have one proper tie down, and for the other side I just used a long section of chute cord and tied to the end of the antenna and then to the bumper so they matched. It works for me. I'll try and send you a pic of the metal piece in a p/m it's nothing complicated

    1009 Sliding Side Windows

    I was lucky and found good slider windows at the junk yard for $35. Maybe I'm lucky, but mine don't leak a bit. I love having the sliders open in the summer. A friend of mine just did the power rear window switch over on his k-5, all I can say is, hope you have skinny arms and small hands...

    CUCV painted military yellow?

    Your probably looking at neon green. And your truck was more than likely a flight line fire truck.

    York air compressor

    I mounted an SCBA (fire dept. air bottle) in the back of my 1009 with plenty of coil air hose to reach around the whole truck. It's cheap and functional. Most FD's have old steel air bottles laying around since they went to fiberglass or aluminum.

    M1009 Door Adjustment

    Give this a try, I found it on another site, it's a cheap fix: Easy alternative Fix. Go to Home Depot or Lowes Plumbing Department. Buy a piece of PEX 1/2" flexible hose. (It looks like teflon white) Cut off a piece of the tube the length of the striker area ---about 3/4". Slit it with a...

    CUCV-II, South Florida Rebuild

    Your Back ! I beleive we've been waiting to see what your next step would be on your return home.

    My Wonderful Christmas CUCV adventure!!!

    That would have been some great pictures; a fine example of "Quality American made" vehicle pulling a a foreign made pile of sheet out of a 1" snow bank. I think its a wonder you didn't pull the Honda apart at the door seams. lolrofl:grd:

    Has anyone used theses products?

    I came across this product while searching for "automotive screws". I believe the "Max-nut" would work very well for mounting antenna hardware and the like. I know I had a heck of a time getting riv-nuts (thanks 319 for the assist on them) I just thought I would post this in hopes of helping...

    Do I need to winterize?

    I haven't done anything special to mine in two winters here in northern Ohio except maybe a bit stronger than 50/50 blend in the rad. I do go out and start her up twice a week when its gets 10' or colder just to keep the batts. up. A few miles around the block doesn't hurt especially if its...
