Today after work I decided to install the steering column and make some progress on my project. I have been dragging my feet for a bit. Column all clean and lubed. Truck all ready for the install. That was not all that bad. I decided to continue on and make more progress. I have a new park...

No way am I spending that much on a piece of glass. Be real about it. Does it matter at this point in time. It is a glass and I can see thru it. Purpose served. Have a great day. I have scratched and sand blasted glass. The OEM windshield was perfect with the exception of wiper marks. It was the...

Today I bought a new rear window for my project I have a new windshield also but I have new rubbers and want to wait for warm weather when I can let the new rubbers set in the sun and get warm. Picture posting issues again. Have a Great Day. Made in Ohio by a Chinese company. Nice new glass.

I am back up in northern Pennsylvania working on my rock crusher. I took a break from work to travel a bit. First trip I left and stayed over night since I lost my Wife. Going well I will get some pictures. I met some new friends along the road. Fed them some grass and pretzels. They were very...

Today I want to talk about the Pivot Rivet for GM wing vent windows. Yes it is a real thing and I bought a box of 50 of them from Walmart.com they are made by an old OEM fastener and trim company that has been around for years and has all the cool stuff that is hard to find. Nice little piece...

So you can send them out and have them rebuilt.

But it is only for the patient and brave. If I was being paid to do it, I would walk away. Maybe I can get good at it and provide a CUCV wing vent overhaul service.

This picture shows window frame with the new rubbers installed before the vent glass is attached. This is the completed right wing vent assembly ready to install. This last picture shows my OEM left wing Vent with the chrome handle and the chrome outer button on the glass. I had to buff down a...

Anyone that is not patient and persistent should not involve themselves in over hailing the wing vents. These are the 2-piece design and let me tell you they put me thru 3-4 hours to do the passenger's side only. I feel I learned a little but not much. I must do the driver's side but sure am not...

I was looking at my own post and seen I did not post the picture of the new turn signal switch. Everything is nice clean and new. Happy. Started on my wing vents. Painted and drying at the moment. Take Care.

Today after work it was not a very nice day outside so I completed the steering column in the basement of my home. I bought a tube of white lithium grease and cleaned and lubed every moving part. I installed a new turn signal switch because I had several and thought may as well change it, I...

After church I went to the basement and looked at my steering column rebuild project. I was dragging behind looking for parts and I finally have them Al together. I was looking hard for the OEM parts I knew I had. I am finding many things I forgot I had. I have everything clean and now want to...

This is not a huge step forward but it is progress in the right direction. At least the bumpers are in the same room as the M1009. This gives them time to get better aquatinted before being permanently attached to each other. I am braving the cold and doing some organizing. Finding lots of...

We both know that will never happen

Facebook I just can't wait to finish my current build and try this trail.

WOW yesterday was like Christmas all over again. I received my order from LMC and still have more parts on the way. I was happy with the parts I received and in my experience the after-market parts quality has improved over the past 10 years. I was happy to see that all the parts I ordered were...

I found the perfect song for a CUCV owner that is filled with troubles after purchasing a CUCV that has been hacked. Since you came into my life It's the same old situation Empty days and lonely nights Filled with bitterness and frustration. Walking lonely in the cold Trying to find the...

ECKLER'S Has the rear side glass seals. I ordered them.
