    1986 M1009 rough shape, but all mine.

    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...

    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...

    It gets better and better, doesn't it... :) These 4 wires (2 dark grey, 1 light grey, 1 green) come into the cab and go nowhere....hmmm. The green one goes to some point under the front battery tray. The 5th brown wire (right side in pic) is connected somewhere up under the dash, but just...

    I'm busy perusing the TMs on the wiring...I'll probably need some help because reading schematics may not be my thing :) My stuff from Hillbilly Wizard show delivery the 25th, so this weekend the first part of the saga will get done. I'll post some pics of the radiator, shroud and cover as I...

    Ok, you wanted to see it...sorry for the quality of pics. Ashtray doesn't stay closed, glove box falls out when opened because the mounting strip is torn off, spaghetti wires under the dash...many cut wires hanging, probably from the radio he had in there since there are speakers on the floor...

    Just received the invoice from Hillbilly Wizard for the shroud and cover... $50 + shipping. Considering every yard around here no longer has any pre 95 vehicles, it was a deal. John is a good guy to talk to over at Hillbilly Wizard, but I'm sure everyone here already knows about his parts!

    Yes, I saw that on the radiator threads here. I debated having it recored until I heard the price, so if I have to lightly hit the flares, it will be ok. Money saved there will be needed elsewhere on the truck :)

    Went ahead and ordered the radiator from Genesis Auto using a $25 off coupon I found online. Coupon code is for $25 off $185 or more GAPCJ25 is the code if anyone else needs an aluminum radiator for their CUCV at a good price. ALL ALUMINUM RADIATOR - 2098-3AA - Chevrolet Blazer ALL ALUMINUM...

    Went to grab the camera, but apparently the wife took it to work to show some pictures. I'll grab some shots and post late afternoon, early evening when she gets back...well some, I'm :oops: to show all of the truck :) it's bad...

    I picked up a rough 1986 M1009, missing batteries, bad radiator, fuel tank removed, busted shroud. I've replaced the batteries, and pulled the radiator. I found an all aluminum radiator that looks like it will work. 3 row instead of 4 though. 1985 Chevrolet Blazer ALL ALUMINUM RADIATOR...
