safety netting The straps could work well too. A series of snaps could allow you to remove them when not needed. Something like a 3 inch tow strap (colored OD Green of course!) or similar could be the ticket. I thought of something simliar to a belt that we used to werar with BDU's. except...

Troop seats Here is the troop seat "reversal" TB picture. The actual TB is available too but I added this page only for you "viewing pleasure". The attachment is one PDF page only but the TB number is at the top. Jim

top M1009 speed The 3.08 refers to the OEM ring & pinion gear ratio. All M1009 CUCV's have the same ratio in order to swap like parts from truck to truck. All M1008's are the same as all other M1008's as are all M1028 axles the same to each other as well. This is way in a battlefield setting...

What about a single 1 x 4 or 1 x 6 painted to match and mounted on the outside of the vertical supports? If you keep you seats down all the time or 98% of the time you could also mount it (them - left & right) on the inside which would look better but the seats would not fold up while they are...

brake line A place that was advertising in Hemmings Motor News for several years comes to mind. Classic Tube in New York is one. I talked to him one time but have not yet used him. I found a NOS line for my M1009 so my search stopped there. The web site is www.classictube.com and it still...

EUC wait I would highly recommend using the "Live Chat" option with GL. Have customer number, event number, and lot number handy. The more infor the better. If they 'oh no we don't have it" then send it all in Certified Mail. The little green card will be your proof of receipt and accepted in...

Anyone have a key The military key code is 73Y2 cut on a "B" grooved blank. Any real locksmith can cut this key using the code. They will charge considerably more cutting from the code over just duplicating keys. I saw one on e-bay already cut for about $4.00 yesterday and it was the genuine GM...

how tight are the hubs If the torque is what you are looking for here it is. Install inner nut while turing hub & drum to 50 foot lbs. Back off 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Install lock washer and then outer nut. Torque outer nut 100 to 150 foot lbs. Safety the nuts by bending the tabs on thelcok...

broken tranny The cases are marked 4 x 2 & 4 x 4 because the cases are thicker for the 4 wheel drive tranny. You can convert a 4 x 2 but you will have a thinner case. It does indeed sound like you could repair yours but you will need to weight the $$. Worse case, you could buy a core 4 x 4 and...

Huh!! Are you referring to spindle lock nut torque or something else?:roll:

According to the wiring diagram on S.S., circuit 17 is the bright headlights & circuit 18 is dim headlights. It appears the they are the same wire coming fromt he light switch until they have to split just forwaard fo the dimmer switch. If the right headlight does not work then it must be...

I just want to inject a thought before the group today. Just in case you are considering an electric tailgate riser, stop before you go any further. The reason that I state this is from experience on my M1009. I purchased new door locks and ignition lock at PepBoys. I had the B-key for the...

Hey there is Crosby, TX. Purchased a Deuce back in May 2008 and Mr. Morgan (CW1 or CW2 Morgan) was very helpful. He had jumper cables and made sure my truck started. He left me alone to do my thing and only stipulated that I had to be out by 17:00 or 5:00 PM. He was a really great guy. I can...

Normally you are allowed to ship one car from the US to your duty country via Uncle Sam's dime. If you have not shipped a POV to date, you should be able to do that with your CUCV. If you ship one over, you do not have to ship the same vehicle back either. I shipped one to Stuttgart, sold it...

I came across a left and right sideboard with the fiberglass slats for the uppers and troop seats too. The steel would need repainting (for show quality) but the slats are in really good, used condition. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what would be a fair offer to the...

O.K. Bothers and Sisters of OD Green, I did a little mroe digging into the colors. In TB 43-0209 dated 31 OCT 90 on paper page 368 or PDF page 373 there is dicussion on colors. This same TB references TM 43-0139 dated 27 JUL 88 for color requirements. It is a lot of reading so be prepared to...

Here is my daily driver since late 1995. I added 33/12.50 x 15 tires within 30 days of purchase. About two years later I added the civy trailer hitch. The tires are only about 1.5 inches larger but are like adding an overdrive to the truck. Very good range for highway driving. I have put...

GL Preview and shipping information Here is Uncle Sam's published information for the M35A2. If this is wrong, the TM is available for download here. Good luck in your Rescue Mission! Jim Note: I'm not sure what I did wrong in this original post but the four pages of PDF do not want to...

The last reply hit it on the head, I think. The truck is a drop-side, and it did have a different head board (like the one in the left side of Gringle's pic). I had a M35A2 for a short while and I switched headboards before selling it. The older truck had updated fiberglass slats on the...

What is this bracket for (see attachment)? The picture is a little hard to see. Sorry about that. It is a bracket that receives some sort of tabbed bracket that would look similar to thin walled tubing smashed flat on the end. There is one on each side of the headboard and both are at the top...
