Today will be a wash on my project. I am going on a picker type run. Wood related.
I was in contact with a local sandblasting and paint shop. I have a 16HP Yanmar diesel engine that the Man that owns the paint shop wants. I don't need it and I don't need more work. I do need a nice clean...
I have a few clusters in my mass collection. Do you just need the fuel gauge that say "Diesel Fuel Only" and has the ring on the center of the gauge? Send me a PM with our needs. I have a few speedometers also. Complete clusters are hard to find. But at a YOUPULLIT any 1981-1987 with all idiot...
They are sold in sets. 1 pair. I would fix what you have if it is repairable. They are very easy to work on. Clean them and reassemble them. As long as they are not broken fix what you have. Take them apart. Clean the. Lube them. And reinstall. Unless they have broken parts. Then replace them. I...
Today I had family guy day. I was planning on getting more work done but I did not have a total wash out. I went to town and the starter on my Cadillac sounded a bit weak. I went out to start it and it just caught in a Black Friday parking lot. Imagine that. Anyway. I headed home and stopped to...
NAPA has the Warn 1/4 turn hubs. They are the same as any GM 1/2 ton 4WD of the same years. It is a cooperate 10 bolt front axle as long as it still has the stock drive line. NAPA PT # 9790 About $140.00. That will get you the stock compatible warn 1/4 turn hubs. They are chrome and work well. I...
Send your Dad up. I need a good helper. Do you have 4 come a longs I could borrow? The hardest part and the part I worried about most has been concord. I feared the body bolts and nuts. I was able to get all 8 out with no breakage of stripped nuts. Took hours but it was well spent. Remember no...
I just noticed while looking at this picture that the gate does not have the seal on it. WOW. That explains why I can see daylight when I look back from the front seat. I bought that seal from GM 11 years ago and I just seen 3 new ones in my basement yesterday and wondered what I bought them...
Nice gate. The Line X is worth the money. Getting ready to enter the operating room In for major surgery. I love the empty spot. I have a few more leaves to rake up and then maybe some grass can grow again. I think I am using the front end off the 1991 Jimmy. I like that look on a CUCV. The...
I checked out the entire vehicle. The doors and gate are great. The interior just needs a major cleaning. I see how they were getting in and out of the truck playing hide and seek. They were hiding in the cargo area. I can see the muddy foot prints. I will need to scrub and hose that area out...
I remove them GM mirrors from the stainless steel mirror heads with a propane torch and the glass falls off. Be gentle and don't over heat. Good Luck. I even used the ones that said objects are closer then they appear. Why because I had them. Not sure if they still do that. If they do I am so...
I took my awl to the rocker panels. The right one was toast. I was hit in a lot back in the 90's and a shop fixed that side rocker and a right fender. I remember the guy put 1/2 a rocker on the truck. I argued but lost the insurance company paid to replace the fender and piece the rocker...
I really think I could spot paint this M1009. I painted this with water base CARC. The underside looks really great. Things will need to be cleaned and painted but that is to be expected. I know this was wrecked when we had snow on the ground and it was traveling the interstate. When I brought...
My Wife wanted to be the one to move it out of the hole. She learned quickly that it has no right steering. Left turns only and slight right. Took a while to get lined up. I commenced to spraying it down with Simple Green and scrubbing the entire body. It was black and gooey. It don't look too...
No mice in my M1009. I had forethought and cats to take care of that issue. It has no interior insulation and I am glad it has Line X inside. It looks great. A few spiders but no mice that I seen a trace of. I had dryer sheets/ axe deodorant and Osage oranges in the cab. They do not like any of...
I am going out and put a set of oddball wheels and tires on it just to it out of the grave. I did have it running and driving about 3 years ago. The tires were sold since then. Not by me. I am tired of looking at it in this state. It was a faithful, loyal vehicle for many years. It deserves...
