In the CUCV forum there is a post of helpful threads. That's what they are and something you should look through before you have to!

One thing I'd like to point out for the future. If you are going to get parts at the parts house, make sure you tell them it's a 1984. 85 and 86 production updates didn't apply to the CUCV lineup even though you might have a 1986 truck.

Send me a leaking gun, I will restore it and return it in a few years!

M116A3 is simply the chassis number. All M101A3 trailers were built on M116A3 chassis. In your case you have an A2 body on the A3 chassis. Inside measurement between the fenderwells is 45" on yours, the A3 is 55".

Rivnuts and gripserts as well.

Even quicker than that. Even the rust bucket would be fun to patch up and make a runabout.

I've been shopping for one of those but not throw away quality.

No worries!

They came with the bad to the bone fabricated diff cover which by the way, is powder coated clear. It has a cool weathered patina to it.

What prompted the removal of the right quarter? I agree, the 33" tire fits with no lift but with 2 1/2" lift it looks so much better. Edit; Nevermind, reading is fundamental.

Added tires!

Safely I might add. It's not the speed that kills, it's the sudden stop.

Maybe it's a promotional thing for his new Z rated 1400 tires!

Typo " electrical" fixed and the second diodes and switches removed. Feel free the do a thread on removable diodes and we'll link it up.

Either a geared lug wrench or a porkchop and the 13/16 square socket. The porkchop simply grips the outside nut so the thimble can be twisted out of the middle. The geared wrench is the one certain way to avoid this in the future (and properly torqued thimbles).

Funny, when I bought my second M275 I got it from Bruce Kubu. At the time he has Jumbo the M125. When we arrived at the farm Jumbo was out. After prepping the little tractor that could, I pulled it up next to Jumbo. Think deuce compared to Zuk Samurai.

Make sure you can stay in touch witb us. Never know when you might need an errant part. Our own cranetruck did VA to CA and back in a deuce.

Cab/chassis dually conversion finally done.

Still need to figure out a way to get him to visit the east coast.
