This picture was taken in Germany. This is one of the trucks I refurbished. This was my Isuzu Trooper Diesel. It was a bullet proof machine. Ran for ever and got 35 MPG. I had the frame replaced under warranty and the body rusted down to dust in about 20 years. It was great 4WD vehicle. I was...
My truck is parked to the right in this picture. DRMO pickup. Shame is the M1009 with no engine had 11K miles on it. Perfect condition. Parted out for others to live. I painted both of these CUCV's during the summer of 1995. Both 1984. Left is CAMO M1008A1 and GREEN & BLACK M1028. My Sons are...
Polaroid's Not the best. But viewable. Enjoy. This M1010 is in heaven now. Died as a noble snow plow truck. I think. That is 1995 back at my barn area. Pictures were taken of the roofs and sides before they were painted to get a few pictures before and after. I remember using the cargo cover...
Been using 1/2" rubber hose for years. And my Cadillac has a different striker system. Or as some say Ratillac. long story but I had a few mice up in the headliner and A/C vents when I bought the car. They were living high class rent free until the eviction came. Have a great day. With the...
I hope not. It is Japanese from a model 44 carbine. 6.5 mm. I did manage to get the bayonet to fold and still have it soaking for the screws to mount it.
Yes they both had the id tags. One was in mint condition and the oher was not so mint. Someone had switched the doors. I sold it to 2 guys that were with the Red Ball Express.
Stanger things have happened. Yesterday while out in the woods/fields doing tractor recovery. I found a bayonet sticking in the ground/stone pile. It is a Japanese folding bayonet from a model 44 carbine. I will see if I can get it cleaned up and operational. I have a Japanese model 44 rifle...
The M1028A1's I had were without bed when they left factory. They were updated in 1993 to the M1028A1. That was 2 that I had. Both New Mexico NG units. Both had the beds with fresh paint and ties downs that did not match the cab paint exactly. That was 1995 and they both had silly low 2-3K miles...
The one on the left was a finished product. I used it for nothing else but cutting firewood. And getting stuck. Till I put it in 4WD. These M60A3 tanks were all lined up for the scrapper.
I have a whole box of CUCV's I found in my office filing cabinet. I have an office off the master bedroom that I seldom use. I was looking for some of my World War II German items and stumbled across some pictures of CUCV trucks I resurrected from the mid to late 90's. Keep in mind these trucks...
Looks like I picked the wrong day to go help someone out of the mud. It happened but me I took the camera without the card in it. Oh well. The Kubota L35 was stuck belly deep. I used the M1028 and Terminus M1009 to get it out. We done a double pull with 2 Bubba Ropes. I was about to get the new...
Rick, I bet you keep your neighbors entertained on a regular basis.
Let's just say I fix everything they break. So they marvel at my inventions. Most little projects are built with discarded scrap and made to last.
M1009 donor axle parts
Of course it had to be raining when I needed to do a raid on my front axle pile. I have been tempted many times to just toss these axles in the scrap. Another vehicle will be saved from donor parts. And I opted to remove them. I had planned on torching the axle ends off...

Same pump Autozone used to stock. Last one I bought was an import with the Delphi label. It's a world market everything is made everywhere. I bought new radiator isolators cushions from the...
I will never work on it......never.
That is my point. I have several newer trucks non CUCV related. The new truck I NEVER work on. I drive it wash it and put gas in it. 2014 Silverado bought new in 9/13 and never done a thing. Come fall it goes. I buy not lease. I done the math. The initial...
