    M1009 to use for parts?

    I've my mind set on doing a lift, plus mine came with sagged fronts. It barely cleared the worn 37s it came with, let alone the new ones, having thread makes a big difference lol. Edit: I wired over a deposit. Going to pick it up within the next 2 weeks.

    M1009 to use for parts?

    I was just hoping I could keep off buying a lift kit, because buying this truck would blow my budget for that. Maybe combine leafs + U brackets as a cheap fix for a couple if months?

    I had a look today. Pretty good truck. Doors show some (minor) rust on the bottom, and the driver's side rocker panel is rotted through.

The previous owner converted it to 12V, hence why one generator is gone. No biggie for me. Last "buyer" let it go because it...

    M1009 to use for parts?

    The CARC paint does give away that it's a military vehicle, just never heard of bulkheads before, those are new to me. Not a lot of US cars around here, not to mention CUCVs... I'm guessing the bulkhead would allow for "standard" windows tho, meaning it would possibly fit my M1028? If I buy this...

    M1009 to use for parts?

    I just found what seems to be an M1009 online that I'm interested in for parts to fix up my M1028. I can re-use the doors, mirrors, fenders, windshield, dash/door panels, tank (doing a Blazer swap has been on my mind for a while). I'll have a spare engine, transmission and transfer case (having...
