    stencil meaning?

    Cool, I had doubts since most of RN's I have seen have numbers and letters.

    stencil meaning?

    I agree, the number you gave does not look like your registration number, I bet it you look at your data plate the RN will not be the same. Dale

    Daily drive a CUCV?

    Granted every truck is slightly different, but I have no issues cruising at 60-65 on the highway. My M1008 is my daily ride and I have had no issues for the past 12 months. -Dale

    motorsource review cucv m1009

    Just throwing in my two cents as well, You hit the nail on the head when you said " you never know what you're getting from GL" Not all stories are horror stories. My M1008 purchase from GL has been great, all I have had to do was fix a radiator overflow nipple and change the oil and I have...

    Deuce at the Prom

    We joked about taking a privately owned Deuce to the unit ball, we were going to have a big ice chest "fully stocked" in the troop area. The only reason we did not execute was that I had just arrived at the unit and did not know the owner that well back then. That and our wives would have stung...

    M1009 wont start/no crank

    The cucv TM's are on the 8th or 9th page. Click the resouces tab then click TM's. Although you won't a "how to guide" on converting to 12V anywhere in there. You could reference the wiring diagrams to clue you in about what is 24V.

    Why is my truck for sale on g.l. Again? Its at my house !

    Correct, but that was not the point I wished to make. This (in my opinion) would be such an unique situation I think it would warrant an exception. But since you asked it's under forum rules: Auction Postings: Please abide by the following rules concerning the posting of auction...

    Why is my truck for sale on g.l. Again? Its at my house !

    If you are sure it is the same truck with same VIN data etc then please get online and chat with GL so you can save somebody a really big headache! They do have to pay as soon as the auction is over remember. I'm not a MOD but I think this SNAFU would warrant an exception to the "dont...

    How do you mount troop seats?

    I may be able to help, I will look around some....no promises though. Keep in mind that 4 of the 6 brackets look like a Z shape (like shown on pic 3 post #7) with the stud pointing downward, and the remaining two have a stud that points inward (pic 5). I pulled my seats from a truck at a...

    How do you mount troop seats?

    Oh and yes the whole metal bar should resemble a "C-channel" The L-shaped bracket is the part that attaches the C-channel/troop seats to the truck. -Dale

    How do you mount troop seats?

    They just barely rest on the lip of the truck bed. If you were standing on the truck bed and looking down you would see the three slots on the sidewalls of the truck bed (6 total) There is a "L" bracket that goes into the slot, it has a male stud on one end that pushes through onto the rails of...
