Very nice looking factory fresh

No retainers on the frame. Im at work right now so can't get any more pictures at the moment. I can try to get some when I get off this afternoon.

That's personal preference I like it if it has the bumper lettering to, unit numbers and such. Im going to do custom stencils on my 09. Where a civi would say K5 Blazer I'm going to stencil on M1009 6.2L

Looks great

This is what they left me with

Did the quick disconnect come for the truck or did you have to modify something to work. Someone torched my swaybar off before I got my M1009. I've really never noticed it missing but if I do replace it I would like a quick disconnect setup.

You have a lot of work ahead but for some reason these old trucks are fun to work on. Stubborn at times but rewarding in the end.

Converted rear bus to 12v using Antennaclimber mod to install Magnum Dimensions 1000w 12v inverter in the rear. Working on flushing Dot 3/4 brake fluid out from previous owner. Rebuilding brake system and restoring back to Dot 5.

Rebuilt the transmission Rebuilt the transfer case Degreasing and painting the undercarriage before they go back in.

Removed rusted out blower housing and replaced it with one bought off of CUCVRUS, cut out the rusty part of the firewall where the heater core had been leaking on it and welded in a 16 ga patch panel. Painted everything and installed a new heater core. Putting it all back together now. Looking...

The guy didn't feel like separating them so now I have a chrome bumper and a brush guard for 80 dollars. Don't worry the bumper is going no where near Gunny

Good to hear. I wasn't really sure what the went for so I just threw out an offer and he accepted.

Going to pick up this brush guard Saturday. I've been trying to find one for Gunny for a while. What do you guys think I'm getting it for 80 dollars. Good deal or no.

As many of these as you have worked on you have a lot more experience than I do. So I'll take your word on it and give the aluminum ones a go. Appreciate the advice.

Lol nope they both honestly look like they had been in there for 30 years. The coffee looked like the stuff that comes in a MRE.

Pulled the leaky heater core out. Looks to be the original so I'm going to have it rebuilt. I hear horror stories about the aluminum ones all the time. Also discovered an entire wife beater/under shirt and a pack of instant coffee in my heater box.

Spin on fuel filter mod. It being crooked is going to bother some folks but I did it that way so I could fit longer filters on if needed. Eventually going to put a petcock in the other side for bleeding.

Nice which kit did you go with. I've had the 6 quart kit on my wish list for a while now with plans to do exactly the same thing.

I rarely get up to Carroll county any more. I just changed my profile since you reminded me it still said that. I'm actually in Roanoke Al now.

Wouldn't have been me. Unfortunately I'm just starting to work on mine again. Trans went out in 2017 when I was trying to save money to buy a house. Fast forward to 2021 I'm now in said new house and finally able to start working on him again. The plan is to have him ready to drive to Moab by...
