    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Today after work I decided to install the steering column and make some progress on my project. I have been dragging my feet for a bit. Column all clean and lubed. Truck all ready for the install. That was not all that bad. I decided to continue on and make more progress. I have a new park...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    No way am I spending that much on a piece of glass. Be real about it. Does it matter at this point in time. It is a glass and I can see thru it. Purpose served. Have a great day. I have scratched and sand blasted glass. The OEM windshield was perfect with the exception of wiper marks. It was the...

    CUCV Bucket Seats - Some ???s

    There are 2 types of seat brackets. The multi piece ones and the single pedestal type. I prefer the single pedestal type but always seem to need and have the multi piece ones. They are getting hard to find parts for. I currently have no seat parts I wish to part with till I get my last 2 M1009’s...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Location

    I have put several oil pressure gauges on CUCV’s. I just T fitted the sending unit with brass fittings and used mechanical brass and plastic capillary’s to run to the gauge and this way it is short and high and tight out of harms way. I think the capillary is about 2 ft long and a straight shot...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Today I want to talk about the Pivot Rivet for GM wing vent windows. Yes it is a real thing and I bought a box of 50 of them from Walmart.com they are made by an old OEM fastener and trim company that has been around for years and has all the cool stuff that is hard to find. Nice little piece...

    But it is only for the patient and brave. If I was being paid to do it, I would walk away. Maybe I can get good at it and provide a CUCV wing vent overhaul service.

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Anyone that is not patient and persistent should not involve themselves in over hailing the wing vents. These are the 2-piece design and let me tell you they put me thru 3-4 hours to do the passenger's side only. I feel I learned a little but not much. I must do the driver's side but sure am not...

    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    Today after work it was not a very nice day outside so I completed the steering column in the basement of my home. I bought a tube of white lithium grease and cleaned and lubed every moving part. I installed a new turn signal switch because I had several and thought may as well change it, I...

    M1008 Exhaust System Question

    Don’t they have pipe bending shops in Europe? I live out in the sticks and we can get mandrill bent exhaust pipes made for any vehicle. Good Luck. My Son made single exhaust on his CUCV. It sounded good and was half the cost. They were all parts made at an exhaust shop,

    Parts location 6.2 lift pump supply line

    I must be a Magician because I used standard fuel line on several units and just ran it a bit longer and covered it with split loom. I wire tied it fast and it worked for years. Yes if you make the tight bent it is going to kink. But the fuel don’t care if it has to travel a bit further. While...
