Some parts turned up, so my brother and I spent the day doing some wrenching on the M1008. The throttle cable linkage was missing the clip, and the rubber was shot, no idea how it stayed on before but it's nice and secure now. Put in the new speedometer cable and tried to put the new shift...

It finally stopped raining for a day, so I thought I'd do a few small jobs on the M1008. Put in a new vacuum pump gasket, changed the shifter linkage bushings, and my brother dug into the dash to maybe swap in the junkyard speedometer we picked up back in September and to see if we can fix the...

Not mine unfortunately, the Vic belongs to a friend. I kind of wish he'd kept the MUTT he had before, otherwise we'd have a pretty sweet motorpool for our reenactment group, but he had good reason to sell it. Considering how bad the transmission was inside, the only thing 'wrong' with it was...

My 1008 is finally back on the road after going in for a transmission rebuild at the start of the year. I knew it left drips of transmission fluid on my driveway, but didn't think it was that bad... untill my brother took it to Wales late last year and ran the torque converter dry. Took it to a...

I finished off my Air Force plates and the light bar the other weekend, so it was finally time to paint over the Army markings on the tailgate and bumpers to get the M1008 looking like an Air Force truck again. The markings weren't original and were added on by the previous owner, so no history...

I did actually wonder if there was a 'correct' side to mount it as I was affixing it, good to know for future reference. Is it always the vehicle's right, or the viewer's right? If it was viewed from the front it would be on the right.

Not really done anything 'to' it, but I don't know if we have a general pics thread or forum anywhere, so please excuse if this is in the wrong place. Took the 1008 to Norfolk this past weekend for a meetup with my re-enactment group at a tank museum. The truck will be part of our display this...

I've yet to try the second set of holes, but if it still doesn't fit with those then i'll definitely be making a new set of struts. The cover and cargo frame were basically free as they were just thrown in with the truck when I bought it, as long as I can make it work I can live with the...

I think I've solved this mystery, I ran the P/N a while back and knew my cover is for an M880, but I didn't check the frame. I ran the numbers on the parts, and they're for a CUCV. I guess the M880 cover is a bit taller? I wasn't sure if the cover and frame were bought separately by the...

Interesting, I'll have to inspect the pin holes in mine to see if I can work out which are the originals and which might be extra. They both looked about right to me at a glance, so I thought nothing of it. Update: I checked, and I'm not sure. I'd assume the holes with the stamped indents are...

That looks great, I'm getting close to finishing off my cargo cover, just waiting on paint and some small parts at the moment. Do you have your bows pinned in the first or second holes? I had mine in the first holes when I mocked it up, and it seemed a bit soggy.

The M1008 is at my brother's again for now, but I thought I'd dig out the canvas we'd picked up with it to take a proper look at it. The previous owner mentioned he'd modified an M105 trailer cover and hoops to fit, but had gotten rid of that setup. I wasn't sure if this cover was for a truck or...
