If you grind the offending finger (Your reference)down on the backing plate. When you hit the brakes the backing plate and caliper will just spin around in a circle and tear the brake hoses. You will not be stopping. Do you have the backing plates switched right for left and vise versa? I am not...

Yes this does bring back the memories. Not bad for painting in an old barn. this is original CARC paint from Niles Chemical Paint.

Some more pictures from the same time period.

I was digging around and found some pictures on a disc that I have of an M1028 that I owned for many years. Look how nice the paint was on it. I decided to repaint the truck that year. I have since sold it. I just got tired of babying it. It was as next to perfect as I have ever seen. The wheels...

Just nut and bolt the mirrors on. Then you need not worry about the insert nuts.

No apologies needed. But the floor of the M1009 and the m1028 are completely different.

I was able to get the under side coated on the M1008 cab. I used the Rusfree undercoating/rust proofing. It covers real nice and cleans up easily. It is 100% better then thespray cans of under coating. And it seems to last much longer also.

I installed 2015 Chevrolet Express van seats in Terminus M1009. hey were a direct fit with the OEM seat risers and NO holes had to be drilled. I opted for the vinyl seats vs the cloth seats because I knew they were going to get exposed to a lot of mud and dirt as I only use Terminus M1009 as an...

I used a seat from a 90's era Silverado pickup in my M1009 Mule. I used 3/8" X 3" flat bar and bolted it to the original floor nuts and then studded with 3/8" elevator bolts thru the flat bar to accept the new pick up truck seat. I also removed a seat from a Chevrolet Kodiak 6500 and it worked...

If the transmission is cracked that is an easy fix. have the case welded. That is a common issue with the transmission. I have seen it on more then several occasions. Easy fix. Alaskan town should have a welder guy. Keep that CUCV going. Getting a transmission case shipped in could get a bit...

I always said if I am getting haters it must be because they are jealous and can not stand to see me having fun that they are to boring to have in the first place. So I guess we are all doing something right. These trucks are not museum pieces. We are using them for what they were built and...

This is a normal M1009 K 5 blazer gate in the north east. This is after 20 years exposure and hard use.

I love the tailgate. Back east here that gate would fetch big bucks. $$$. Nice straight and free of rust. No license plate light required in California?

Yes and I had the heat on in Terminus M1009 all day. That is a good feeling when it's cold and you are splashing thru the mud holes and off - roading and you can do it with the window down and still be comfy inside. Wheeling on snow and ice covered trails is not very fun at all. I am not a fan...

Good Luck. Rust never sleeps and small stone particles will get in there. I had a few Line Xed and then covered them with isolation. But if you have a CUCV that does not leak water at all. You will have the first one I ever seen or heard of. These vehicles leak and even get in and out with the...

In Pennsylvania that truck would rot out in 2 years. That truck would never dry underneath that sound proofing mat. I have newer trucks that have rubber mats in them and in about 6 years the mats are soaked and the floor have bubbling paint from being wet and getting scratched and rusting. My...

These are some post Rausch Creek pictures of Terminus M1009. I was happy to see no fluid leaks from the engine and the oil was still full and clean after a hard day of running. I had replaced all the seals and wanted to do a thorough check out after being in the mud and dirt. It looks very dry...

My Son just put single exhaust on 2 CUCV's. Why because he wanted to. We used the front Y pipe from a 1987 K10 Chevrolet pickup I had setting here and a 1987 K5 Blazer. Both had 350 gas engines and the exhaust shop stitched the diesel flanges and ran back 4 or 5 inch pipe and he dumped it with a...

If you look at my Easter find M1008 you will se that I primed and then I undercoated it with Rusfree under coating. I think a few guys on here have used it. It sprays with a siphon gun and covers real nice. I have been using it for the past 30 years and have ha great results. I just under coated...
