Very nice benches you made in the back. And I still really like the look of a CUCV with the trim and bumpers in plain flat green. The tires look great also. It has a better life then it had here. Happy Holidays Doug.
I am getting messages all the time about a frame up restoration of a CUCV. They ask if I ever done a complete restoration. My restoration is not 100% complete but I done and do what I can in the barn I work out of. So here you go have a look and see if any of the pictures and information is...
Watch out using magnets on your vehicles. It will cause rust. I seen it happen. (Wild Guess) It pulls steel particles out of the air and rubs thru the finish someway. I am not a metal professor but I seen it many times on vehicles. And flat paint is the worst to keep from rusting. Have a Great...
We have spoke of this before. From NM to PA and now back to NY. Good trip through life. I am sure it is in a retirement home now. Unless Dougco wants to cut firewood and do some logging with it. HA HA. Doubtful.
:-DI'm never lonely. I have them things all around me now. 2 doors down, 2 miles north, 3 miles south, And now that my Crown of Thorns is gone. I was left with my Silverado and was out cutting wood from a log jam at the bridge down the road. Just a bit scarier going into the water to get the...
Where are the pictures of Easter Find in the parade? Not sure why this one never upgraded. It shows 6/29/2018 as the last post/reply. Have a Great July 4th. Remember the true meaning.
I wanted to ask if the Easter Find M1008 truck has a nice firm ride with the front 4 ply springs? I found that with the 4 ply front springs and the heavy duty 10,000 lb rear springs the truck has a nice firm but not harsh ride. I have done all the plow trucks with the same set up and they seem...
This week I did a repaint of a HMMWV hood and brush guard and I knew I needed a pair of original clevises for Dougco1 and the Easter Find. Well here they are. I sanded epoxy sealed and painted them. I will get them in the mail to you Sir. Been having a busy season at work and keep getting mowers...
Brian good to hear that the Dude is still up and running. It was a long tough life for the Dude M1028A1 but it always came thru. It was driven east coast to west coast 2 times and I drove it about 20 time to Fort Polk and tow barred CUCV's home. When I bought that truck it had less then 2000...
Oh yea. I did take it for a run with the hubs locked in. That was when I was checking it out in final QA and filling the fuel tank. I like to find annoying vibrations. You should have no vibrations with the hubs locked or unlocked. I am glad it satisfies you. I was happy with the results and...
I have success both ways. You must be careful. The clusters are very crisp and fragile. Age does that to things. I know first hand. I wear Kevlar gloves to work. But I have been highly successful changing all the bulbs with the cluster still in the dash. It may be all loose but not being twisted...

So nobody has a tape measure or the time to measure the rear most tire rack hanger bolt from the frame flange to the end? WOW. I guess I get inventive. Find one in my cache of parts. Thanks for nothing. Day light is burning I am out for a while. Have a great day. CUCV's are lined up waiting for...
I am doing the finishing touches on my M1008 project. Nice fit behind the seat with the tire tools and jack. E brake release was missing the grommet. Replaced that with a donor part. Cluster all back in and the 4WD wiring moved to the outside so the wiring is not visible on the floor. Needed a...
