    Cucv as a daily driver

    My crew and I drive 4:56 geared CUCVs every work day. They are good for local use only, not interstates. But this is true of most MVs and many older trucks. Compared to a k-30 gas job, you will get twice the mileage. Up around 18 mpg if you drive smooth and keep it under 50 MPH.

    Long Island Ny, Old military collection?

    Does anyone know anything about a Long Island New York site I've driven past? It is a couple of towns south the Orient Point ferry. As I have always been rushing to make the boat back home, and it looks like private property, I have never investigated. There are several od machines viseble...

    using the STE/ICE-R on a m1008

    I think we are talking about the device that plugs into the round, multi pinned outlet under our dash boards. A few people who know more than I tell me it is practically useless. Correct me if I am wrong.

    M1008 vibration

    It must be a cucv or civilian K-30 shaft if used. Get it rebuilt though you auto parts store or jobber or try Saturn surplus or some or like that.

    1008 1028 ID

    As far as I know they are very similar. The 1028's were set up with a couple of types of bed covers, and have some reinforcements for holding up the cover.

    too many miles??

    On one level that is too bad, But some of the problems you would have with a truck that has sat too long might be just as bad, but different. If the crew that used this truck maintained it, you may have a good rig,

    Don't splice into hydrolic pump. It is already running your steering and brakes. It is easy to put auxillary shiv off harmonic ballencer like many a snow plow truck. If you convert to 12 v you will also have a free drive pully. The gear reduction starters are available in both 12 and 24 v...
