"Handles" for rear side windows, anyone know what goes there? "Bought as seen" was the deal. Now I'm wondering what belongs on the side windows of the hood as a handle and whether you can repair them yourself or not. Or should one leave the "Pandora's box" unopened and do nothing at all on the...

Hello dear Steelsoldier Community, Does anyone know a source where to get this military metal plate regarding the light circuit? (See picture) Of course it can be a remake, if it is half like the original. It seems that one of the previous owners of my M1009 took it out and pasted small signs...

Hello dear Steel Solieders community, let's perpetuate the little project of mine in this thread. Introduction: I bought an M1009 to tide me over. It is still 2/3 owned by the bank. The idea is, I'm still waiting for a "better" prepared Blazer K5 M1009, but whether I always put the money on...

Hello steelsoldiers community, I need the swarm knowledge of the forum again. I am looking for some background knowledge in the form of literature. It is about the Chevrolet K5 Blazer (military version M1009). I have already "saved" the TM's here from the forum and sifted through it. It is...
