6,900 original miles on that one. 2,164 when purchased and 2,189 when I first drove it home. Save for a CD player install and new glowplugs with a DH resistor bypass, it's all stock as it was the day it rolled off the production line. Search NOS USMC in the CUCV forum and you'll see it's...
Tossing Sarge back into the Poll in the event not enough people nominate their trucks. He's never won and he's the most original CUCV in private hands. The people in ACU's in the back are National Guardsmen participating in a Christmas Parade. The little man with the red hat is my youngest...
Wish you were closer. I'd offer a bed with fiberglass uprights, bows and a cover in good shape for that box. I like the campers guys make out of the boxes.
I just saw this. I wished I would have seen it a month and a half ago. We run into this quite regularly on these trucks and I'd have gladly pointed you in that direction. So glad you got it fixed.
I'll nominate my friend Atomic's Deuce and a Half. It's a work in progress but see attached for how it appeared in the Leesburg Christmas Parade. This should be a good nomination. Russ has attended the last 5 GA Rally's and mostly helps Mark and Jeff on the trail rides. His truck finally got...
Actually looking at the polls, my Deuce is beating Steve6X6X6's A3 bobbed Deuce and I've seen his truck quite a few times in person. Very nice truck with some outstanding work done to it. He's the man when it comes to axle parts, custom fabrication, etc. His truck is in one of those...
I thought I was going to start that support group a few months ago. I had entered my pristine original M1028 that had spent most of it's life in Norway in a dehumidified cave. Even today it only has 6,700 miles on it. Search "NOS USMC" in the CUCV Section of the forum. I think that my stuck...
They are all outstanding and the polls are very close. If you look earlier in the thread, you'll see why I voted for Proud American. I'm friends in person with the two top runners and I know I'll see them both before and after the GA Rally this go around. I had the opportunity to sign the...
I'm not sure on the Civi side of it but what I do know is that on the Military side, you can't even drive a M1089 or M984 series truck without having H8 stamped on your license. You only get that by attending a Wonderful 2 week course spent swimming in mud, making winch connections and being...
If you have no bubbles, you need to adjust your brakes. They are not self adjusting. There are four cam bolts on the backing plate that you use to adjust. The two up top are your ¨major adjustment¨ and the two on the bottom are your ¨minor adjustment¨. Please look in the TM's or search on...
I've never had too much trouble with these engines in my experience as a mechanic in the National Guard. Biggest issues we have are starter solenoids, HEUI pumps (caused by clogged fuel tank vents starving the pump for fuel, scores the inside of the housing), Injector tips (that's caused by...
PB, I need about 25 votes just to break even with 67beast's entry. I think I know who is going to win this month and it is a very nice truck!!! Perhap's I can vote on the last day for the Winner and do a fistbump with Lee!!!
I have hauled alot of stuff off of the base and parked it in my front yard. Hoefler is correct that cops where involved in the recovery of his trailer but only because it was rebuilt and the local cops thought that I had ¨stolen¨ something off of the base. It actually went from the local cops...
This is my truck doing everything from doing excavation work, parade duty, earning it's keep pulling LVS Trailers, attending GA Rallies, teaching my boy's how to change a master and air pack, Funeral Procession duty behind the Patriot Guard Riders, Veterans Day Parade Duty, and lastly, Dec 23rd...
PB, I'll go with this picture. It was taken at SSGR10' and Briggs was just over a year old and Joey had celebrated his 3rd Birthday just weeks earlier. They are 6 and 8 now. Man how time flies. I agree that the picture of me changing the master cylinder out is a good one because you can't...
I know in the National Guard, your truck would be considered dead lined until we could put some newer rubber on it. You might get lucky with them on the rear but I would not suggest running those on your steer axle.
