Thanks KevinsM1009
Looks like the previous owner was screwing around in the dash. Missing screws, loose...yadayada.
I may replace the whole thing due to cracked cover, stripped holes, and whatnot. For now, I'll try your suggestions. Thank you
What a mess. :)
Sorry, you're right...the 3 row is out of stock....I missed that.
Today...I cut the **** parking brake cable. Will replace someday. Today my fuel gauge decided to stop working a few weeks after replacing the fuel sending unit. Had a 1/4 tank, put another $40 in it...didn't move. Shut it off for...
Here is Warthogs post where I found mine,

When you get to the page, click the 6.2 and you'll see the choices. I used the 3 row, it seems to have gone up a bit, looks to be $193 now...
I bought a new all aluminum radiator here for my 1986 M1009: http://www.genesisautoparts.com/ Was around $175 shipped to my door. I put a post about it somewhere. Perfect fit
Today it was front brakes, bearings, seals. Rear brakes, rear drums. New Warn lockouts....driver side inner bearing was shot, have been driving with one side locked in, and one out. Gah. Money money money... so much work to do yet.
Thanks! I wonder how upset my wife would be if I swapped the hood from her 91 Suburban....hmmm, she is leaving Friday for a 2 week vacation in Wisconsin.
I'm needing to replace my hood and tailgate on the 1986 M1009, and am wondering what years/models are interchangeable.K5, Suburban, just trying to find out my options.
The hood is rusted through on the centerline, and the tailgate...well, it's shot.
This one was truly saved from the scrap...
Took off the shorty glass packs the moron before me put on, and replaced with some full size mufflers. Neighbors are happy, cops are happy, and most importantly, I'm happy.
Replaced the fuel sending unit and and installed the tank, (used a 3 port since it's all I could find). Fired up the beast for the first time since since I got it. Man does it run strong. Now to replace the u-joints and road test it sometime this week. Next month replace the floor pans, hopefully.
If you end up needing a new rear AC unit, I pulled mine from the 91 Sub, and have it stored. I won't be reinstalling it, so it's available...shipping might be an issue. I still have the cover as well.
I also have the front AC compressor, I removed it and installed a delete pulley. Everything...
What about C.L. Chase in Camp Douglas? He might be worth a shot if he is still in business. He had a lot of the older mil stuff at one time. I haven't been there in 15 yrs though, so I don't know.
Here is his info:

Radiator shroud and cover from Hillbilly Wizard came in. Also included were the braces, rubber standoffs, and screws. It is in perfect condition. It came packed in a plywood box...I was impressed, there was no chance of it being damaged in transit.
Radiator also came in...pretty pretty, oh so...
Here is a good article on pros and cons:

Since there is no dissimilar metals, you don't have the corrosion of the copper radiators.....no "bloom" at the seams
Warthog posted where I got mine from...all aluminum, 3 core, for $178 shipped, using a $25 off coupon. Code is in the original post. I've seen this radiator for $450 elsewhere
You were absolutely correct, the wires were all deadheaded on both ends. Getting them out sure cleaned things up.
Yeah, those will be probably 2 of the simplest fixes :)
Here is a shot of the data plate, there is also a metal sticker above it that reads "Property of Searcy County" with a...
