Ebay is loaded with new ones. And they are not expensive. i would go that route. They have new ones for $500. a pair. (2 different vendors) the shipping should not be all that bad. Check it out. The old ones make great boat anchors. I fish in rocky areas with fast moving water below a hydro...

You did the drive shaft before replacing the broken spacer / adapter? You are going to have to undo all that wonderful work again.

Like we mentioned and discussed. He has had this engine and it seems to be running well. It is broke now and needs some work. Fix what is broke and a few other minor items and he is good to go. Buy a used engine from a salvage yard and who knows what you are buying and if it is worth putting in...

Looks great. It is great that the u joint is tight in the yoke and you have no slop. Regardless of how the slop got there it was there and you fixed it. Great job. I hope it runs smooth now. You put a lot of time and money into that drive line. Have a great day and enjoy the CUCV.

Did you vacuum test your repair/ I did one and it leaked. I pulled the screw out and re-tapped it I checked it with the vacuum pump and it held negative vacuum for an hour. Good enough. No problem ever since. I think you did say you changed the lift pump. Is it dry in that area? And the valley...

Once again I will say it. If the head gaskets failed and the engine ran fine. It sounds like it did. No oil consumption low oil pressure. I would get the heads and replace the head gaskets. I would replace every seal on the engine and let the bottom end alone. That's me. I run things a long time...

Scottladdy. What is it that you need. A rust free cab? I also have many other nice sheet metal parts. Anything specific?

News Flash. LMC front fenders, tailgates and doors fit the same way. Good Luck with the Chikon body parts. I would rather have used originals then the knock off stuff. Don't even consider an M1009 K5 blazer gate from them. Even the ones they say/list are licensed GM products are the same poor...

Back in the early to mid 90's I had access to a few M1010's that a friend was buying and we were stripping them out and making plow trucks out of. I have 4 of these bodies on my property that I use for storage and have anything from lawn mowers, paint, tires, wheels, parts to motorcycles in...

Yes it ran fine. It never missed a beat. I changed the head gaskets because I had the engine out during the restoration of Easter Find M1008. I have been stalling on that project. I have so much other work to do this year. But all is good. A little at a time.

No need to use head studs. I look at it this way. They lasted 30+ years with torque to yield bolts. Put new ones in and call it a day. I am not a guy that fixes on the cheap. But I do NOT just buy something and change something because someone else says it's better. I mean 30 years and still...

I went thru 3 sets of heads before I found a good un-cracked set. I would say just put a good set of heads on the bottom end and call it a day. The head gaskets on most of these trucks are in bad shape if you still have the original ones. Time and wear have contributed to the head gasket...

If it were mine I would get a winch and a winch land anchor. I would not weld any gears. I wheel a lot in mud with a stock M1009 and have excellent results. I know my limitations and avoid really deep mud holes. I don't care how big the tires are. I see 5 tons stuck in mud holes. Tires don't...

I can sell them to you. The wiring you would be on your own. I am sure that is a nightmare.

In Pennsylvania that jute and rubber mat is the roof/covering of a rust whore house. I have removed every mat from every CUCV I owned. I even think that a bare CARC painted floor is better then any floor covering. Especially if you are using the truck for work like I do. I had mine sprayed with...

I knew that someone was going to think it was an air bag / supplemental restraint wheel. I said that to my Son when we were putting it in. I removed it from an early 90's Chevrolet cutaway van chassis because it came on a fleet van 1 of hundreds and it was the only one that had the leather...

I will post them tomorrow. I had a guy send me his mounts and I am going to do them for him. I will post step by step. Very easy. A caveman could do it.

I pulled the Terminus M1009 closer to the shop today. I want to get it up on jack stands and do some severe maintenance on it. I have an adventure planned for mid July and don't want to sit and watch others have fun. I hope to have new paint, tires , and go over the entire drive-line. I will...

Direct fit. I would say 1 hour and you can change it. The intermittent control box came with the column. I bought a 1990 GMC Jimmy for parts and it is an SLE and loaded with everything nice. I would not do power windows and locks but it has them

First off let me say the fit of the NAPA oil cooler lines has a lot to be desired. They have 2 different part numbers but both look exactly the same. They both look like the forward/front oil line. Not even close. They are going back. I am going to order another pair and do a side by side...
