Nice. I had planned on bidding on both of those last week, but I got caught up at work and forgot to place my bids. Lucky for you.....haha!!! Have fun with it.
I havent driven my cucv for about 2 months. Today I jumped in it and reversed out of the driveway. It backed down the driveway just fine. I put it it drive and it wouldn't move on its own. Usually once you put it in drive it will roll forward under its own power. So I give it a little throttle...
I'm selling one of my m1009. Right now it has a brand new softopper soft top installed on it. Would you guys think it would sell for more money with the soft top on, or with the original hard top?
A couple of months back I bid on and won a 1985 m1009. I found it on govdeals and I paid a whopping total of $582. I brought it home, installed two new batteries, a starter, new glow plugs and controller, and she fired right up. I have since added new tires and have completely replaced the whole...
In addition to the harder starts over the last couple of days... I just made the 48 mile trip home from work. After starting up the truck (m1009)I let it idlefor about 20 minutes before I left work and it idled fine the whole time. I drove about 15 mileswith no issues and stopped at the gas...
I know ATF fluid is supposed be used in the np208. I noticed a small leak coming front the transfer case skid plate and it was gear lube. I guess the police department that I got the truck from put the wrong stuff in. Should I get it out ASAP and replace it with ATF? I've also go to figure out...
I don't think there's any Ziebarts near me. I can see where the drilled the holes around the doors and applied their rust proofing. On the frame the original undercoating has peeled off on a lot of places. I'm going to try to remove what I can then reapply more stuff.
I just picked up another m1009. I had Carnac look up the info and it apparently spent a good portion of its life in Pennsylvania. I bought from a police department near Knoxville, TN that has had it since 2004. I noticed that it had been treated by Ziebarts when it was brand new. The floor pans...

I'm going to order a Softopper soft top on my m1009. Right now, the hard top leaks where it seals to the body. When you install the new seals for the body/top, do they get put on the actual top or the body?
I need to replace the steel fuel lines from the tank all the way to the front of my m1009. Is there any where that sells prebent lines? Would I be ok just running diesel rated rubber hoses instead of steel lines?
