Your work never ceases to amaze me! In my words. My work never ceases. It amazes me at how much I can get completed when I apply myself. I have days that I get kicked back a bit. I start off everyday as if it is going to be the best. I don't hang out with negative naysayers. And nothing makes...

With the current no rain conditions here I don't see that as a problem. That no rain could change in a month. You can do 99.9% without going in mud that deep. Have a safe trip.

I've got a lovely bunch of Blazer seats. here they are all standing in a row. The center one not so nice. But a wealth of needed parts. This is the pivot bolt out of the donor seat. Looks like these seats were wet for a long time. Not mine. They were dusty dry in the barn. All stripped down and...

Quick and easy The rear gate is all welded up and I began working a thin layer of filler out on the areas I repaired. As I mentioned I wanted to post a few pictures tonight. Last night the brazing took place. All in all a nice rear gate. Bottom edge was in excellent condition. Just the corners...

https://youtu.be/1PJDAZMj_F4 Reminded me of a few riders in a group last year at Rausch Creek. LOL. You guys know who it is. Fun times ahead. You have entered the fun zone. Hope the weather holds out. Either way we depart camp when we hit the trails. Have a great day and come prepared.

And add to that the hole in the side of the bedside. I did the easy way because it did exactly what you want it to do. I read my gauge and both were within a gallon or 2 of being equal in volume. I opted the easy way for long upstate PA trips. I do have a dash flipper switch I bought new and...

Yes. 2 sending units and a flipper valve. A complicated mess of wiring. It's not factory no matter how hard you try. It is an add on. If it is for ease and extra travel range do it the easy way or get another truck that has the set up and change everything. I notice they don't do the dual tanks...

Same goes. No. And the tank is the same tank just switched around. Same brackets also. The plumbing is fairly easy. I had one and Y ed the suction side. It pulled almost equal and I only used the stock left sending unit. It was NOT dead on but accurate enough. I have a few that the fuel gauge is...

Yes Sir that is how they were made. I removed that bracket also. That was part of the body mount that mark Body Company added to reinforce the frame flange. I removed several of the M1010 bodies from the chassis when they were about 8 -10 years old. The bolts were not rusted fast and I recall...

yes it is possible. It will be challenging to get the fuel lines off but it is possible. If it were me. I would cut the fuel lines. Avoid messing with the old clamps and hard seated hose. I would then replace the clamps ad the 3 sizes of fuel line with new and new clamps. The real challenge that...

Welded up the patch on the center of the gate and fixed the crack up top. No pictures. I was running out of daylight as I completed the work tonight. Did some grinding and tapped all the threaded holes for the lift arm covers. Busy night. Just finished a few minutes ago. Time for rest and back...

This Easter Find was an M108 from the New Mexico National Guard. Bought in 1995 or 96.

That's an idea. Line them up have sanders, tapers, washers, driers, one guy sealing, another 3 people coming along with the paint. 1 green, 1 brown, 1 black. About 10 FT. apart. It could be done. No standing around, smoking and texting. I can see it now. 8 hours 5 trucks could be painted. Have a...

That would be a long haul for you in a CUCV. I wouldn't do it unless I trailered it there and home. Not even a tow bar that far. To many if's and maybe's. Have a Great Day.

Thank you for the kind comments.

You did not miss it yet. This is NOT till next month Saturday October 21, 2017. All is well you still have time to get there. :)

Hasn't happened yet. I think I have 4 trips to Rausch Creek, Many more to the power lines, And a trip to trucks gone wild. outside of routine maintenance and fixing the standard issues associated with 34 year old vehicle. Like the Ever-ready bunny still going. Life is a highway I want to ride it...

Come on down to Rausch Creek and run the course with us. October 21, 2017 we are having a little get together for some 4 wheeling and hill climbing. Some real nice flex holes and rocks to climb over.

Good point.

Goodyear Wrangler MTR's make the M1009 look good IMHO.
