WOW. I am saddened to see no activity on the CUCV forum in over 24 hours. I hope to make up for that this evening and tomorrow. I have been wondering off task for a while again. I hope to get to it tomorrow. I have lots of very simple things I can do to move my project along in great leaps and...

I am so glad you put that M1008 cab and frame back in service. I bought that perfect running truck from the Pennsylvania DNR or DEP. They branded the certificate as "Scrap for Parts Reclamation Only". Well after all these years the parts have all been reclaimed and recycled. The small block...

I can get you a picture tonight. Thru the firewall. Thru a hole in the upper flange on the left side of upper core support. I hope that helps. It lays on the left inner apron and has a tie to support the cable and fasten it. Picture later if someone don't beat me to it. How about some pictures...

CUCV Hot Rodding and Modification's Forum. Please.

I just don't recall having to remove the intake to change this line. I know it was a challenge but I done it on a plow truck a few years back and I done it outside during winter season.

I recall taking off the right alternator and removing a bolt and clamp on the front of the block. It will come out from under the intake. Do you have another preformed hard line?

I already mentioned I sanded and painted a pair of headlamp buckets and a pair of trim rings for the head lamps. I pick up every single rectangular head lamp bucket I see at the YOUPULLIT. These were from a 1992 Astro van. The new Trucklite LED's are the hot setup. Direct installation. I...

What do you want to check out? I have 4 in my back yard that you can pick at and google all you would like. I 81 Exit 90. That's fairly close.

I am not in a rush. Today I went out in the barn and installed the grille trim. I always liked the detail when the trim is painted separate from the body. I scrubbed up the side marker lights and installed them. I removed them from a 1991 K5 Blazer I parted out. I peeled the chrome trim from...

That is the exact tool. Easy as that. Thank you.

I never heard of any of them terms for flares. I use a Snap-On double flaring tool. I have had to buy bubble flares for imports. But on the good old 99% of the vehicles the old double flare tool done the job. Good Luck.

I did venture out in the barn yesterday after work and cleaned and prepped my upper radiator support area for a finish coat of paint. I taped off the areas I didn't want painted and paid close attention to retaining a nice even edge where the fenders meet the radiator support. inside fender...

New Head Gaskets are GREAT. Did you have the heads checked out at a machine shop? I may sound like a broken record. But doing it the right way the first time is the only way to call it done right. Cracked, warped heads are a common issue. I say common because I usually need 2 sets of heads to...

The hanger on the left side is not a stock M1010 hanger. I have never seen one like that before. There may have been an update but I never seen one.

Outriiger arms for loading stretcher patents in the upper bunks. And the M1010 only has one and it is switched from side to side by pulling a pin. The right side has a pinch clamp to stow it tight against the rear upper header panel when not in use. Very strong arm suupported by the inner steel...

How abpout the fusible link that runs from the negative cable on the rear battery to the 12 volt power point on the firewall to the right side of the master cylinder. Left side if you are standing out front looking under the hood. Did the fusible link melt out? Check that and report back. And...

Horn blows first time everytime now. I guess it was a bit of corrosion where the bearings make contact with the steering shaft. Easy as that. Moving along slowly. Logging in the woods tomorrow. No CUCV's to use. Will be using the new truck. They build them everyday. Just be careful. Have a Great...

Mileage does not kill injection pumps. Time does. If you have diesel in the valley you have a fuel leak. Check the throttle shaft seals. You can run te engine with the intake off. It will be loud but it will run. Run it and shut if off. Check back latter and see if it is leaking. Don't drive it...

I think the problem is solved. The ungrounded steering shaft comes from the truck setting for 10 years and not having any movement. The contact surfaces have become tarnished. I can move the steering shaft in and out the horns blows every time. I guess put the steering wheel back on and steer it...

Oh ELL NO. NOT even an option on this project. I may as well have painted the truck with a broom and put a small block Chevy motor in it. Never would I deface my M1009 with such hacking. My M1009 is exempt from inspection but it will still have a stock functioning horn. It only take a wee bit...
