Runk is right, the gauges do not have bulbs inside, they are lit indirectly by the lights in the panel. Don't open the gauges. The wires going to the gauges are +24 volt power on one and the other goes to the sending unit.

It should go faster after the gear oil gets hot. Advance the timing some, check for dragging shoes.

Vintage Power Wagons has the 4.89s in stock. That is what you want.

HUH? there are thousands of sizes dozens of material and dozens of profiles and some rocket scientist at Morton Thiokol once picked the wrong one resulting in a national tragedy

The super short one at the left rear is not a ground!!! It is +24. if you put the batteries in there per the graphic, there is no way it will reach a ground post.

Not yet, bought the primer today though. Oh yes I will paint everything CARC tan soon. Bare aluminum not appropriate for an ARRRmy truck in my opinion.

The self etching primer mentioned above is SUPER important, otherwise paint will peel off. Available in rattle cans at your hardware store.

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I don't think San Diego gets much rain but it only takes once to fill an engine with water when the exhaust outlet it pointing at the sky. Once that happens, the engine is scrap value only.

There is a fitting in the oil gallery behind the fuel pump that feeds the oil filter.

White rectangular decal on valve cover tells me GEP.

Rod Hall is just a nitrogen charged shock in addition to the stock one. No additional travel. Spring rate is unchanged I believe. The GMVs are set up for very heavy ammunition and fuel loads. SEE POST#13. above is incorrect.

Paralleled 30's. They will act as redundant power supplies and if one fails during high production, you can send those people home.

Yes. Although General Motors was a little wrong here. OP has a shelter carrier CUCV II. With the original GM CUCVs, the shelter carrier is called a M1028. So technically GM should have called this one a M1028A4 because A1, A2 and A3 were already assigned to versions of the older trucks.

OP does have a CUCV, a CUCV II or CUCV 2 to be specific. Nobody has posted the GM factory wiring diagram for the CUCV II to include the under dash changes. There is a diagram for the charging circuit that a member has drawn up and posted.

No 24 to 115 converter. What is on the wall in the van is a 115 to 24 converter. So you can run the 24 volt lights with the engine off from 115 volt shore power.

The big plugs are to feed the van circuits from a remote power source. Not 24 volts

There is a connector sticking out of the van that is about as big around as your thumb with wires coming out of it, that leads to the 24 volt power on the chassis. Trace it out and see why no 24 volts is getting back there.
