    Insulating M1009 for sound and temp

    I insulated my cab (floor, sidewalls and firewall)after I primed and painted it, also installed a carpet kit. I used sound deadening material and 3m adhesive (great stuff). It made a huge difference. You can carry on a conversation at a normal level, and elimiated the majority of the road...

    Got hard top & Mk16 mount on M35a2

    It should be a blast to shoot off the two mounts on the M35. M2hb and M60's mounted on the truck and on the public road in Missouri is definately a crime, and would be a really bad idea, unless you want to stay at the "county hotel". I will just keep everything legal and stick to private...

    Got hard top & Mk16 mount on M35a2

    Here are some more photos of the hatch I built in the hard top. It was quite a job, the top is thin and hard to weld on without burning it up, I also had to rebrace the top after I cut the hole, but I am very pleased with this build. I also included a photo of my M64 cradle for the M2hb I...

    Got hard top & Mk16 mount on M35a2

    I modified the hard top with the custom hatch opening. I am toying with ideas for the hatch cover, (canvas, fiberglass, steel, etc.) I will need to get it figured out and fabricated before winter Chris

    Got hard top & Mk16 mount on M35a2

    On this truck I will have a M2hb on a MK64 cradle mount on the m66 ring, and an M60 with mount on the MK16 in he back. I will post pictures with the guns on the truck, in the near future. Here is the picture of my 50 caliber. Chris

    Got hard top & Mk16 mount on M35a2

    I repainted my truck a few weeks ago and removed the soft top. I then finally got a hard top I had purchased and then modified put on my truck. It was a little difficult with the M66 mount, but I had lots of help. I also added a MK16 mount in bed to go along with the ring mount. Not very...

    Deuce Receiver Hitch & Singles

    I wanted a receiver hitch on my truck and just ended up building one for the truck. If you look close you can see it in the picture. Chris

    Where's Your License Plate?

    Mine is mounted in the receiver hitch I added. It can be removed when you pull a trailer, and the tralier would block anyone seeing whether you have a rear license. Buddy of mine came up with this idea. Chris

    Working on a new sand paint job.

    After two years in the planning stage, I finally got around to sanding, priming and starting the repainting process on my deuce with the help of a few friends. So far I really like the sand color. I used two part primer and gilispe paint. I should get finshed up before the end of the weekend...

    CUCV 454 Conversion

    The hose was a pain. I finally found one that would work, but it was trial and error. I will look and if I find the part # I will post it for others doing the conversion. Chris

    CUCV 454 Conversion

    Here are a few gauge and switch pictures. I am pleased with this set up, the pictures are so so but they will give you the idea of what I did on the M1009. The first switch this is on "red light" is the one for the electric fuel pump on the fuel tank. Chris

    Good idea for a stereo

    I am hanging my speakers on the roll cage I built for the back of the m1009. You can go to the salvage yard and find the jeep speaker boxes from the late model jeeps that attach to their roll bar and adapt them. Those units also have dome lights you can wire up. Chris

    CUCV 454 Conversion

    On this coversion, it has three belt setup (supercharger, alternator and power steering)although it looks serpantine in the pictures, big electric fuel pump on a switch, electric water pump, electric fans, hooker headers, msd ignition. I am putting a 3" dual exhaust set up with cutouts that...

    CUCV 454 Conversion

    I am slowly but surely finishing up the 454 conversion of a m1009. I got the hole cut in the hood today. Thought some folks might like to see a couple of pictures. I have a GTO style hood tach that goes on next, then off to the exhaust shop on Monday. Chris

    Good idea for a stereo

    Hi Buckmaw, that is a 4" Harwood cowl scoop bolted on to my hood so my engine will clear the hood. Chris

    Another one: WTB NOS Dashboard Cover

    You can buy their dashboard pad and buy a can or two of the grey dye from LMC. The dye they sell works great and I have used it a lot on plastic and vinyl pieces on a M1009 I am working on. Hope that helps you. Chris
