    My First CUCV

    So I drove down to Dawsonville GA today and picked up my new rims and tires. John is a great guy to do business with, was very friendly. He also told me that they are going to start selling used CUCV parts in the near future.

    My First CUCV

    Where did you get the wire ends cause if they are that bad that is probably the route I would wanr to go as opposed to grinding the tips down every time I get new plugs... just seems like a hassle

    My First CUCV

    I can take a pic tomorrow, but in the picture up there it looks like theres 3 different things in the spot under the controls? All I have on mine is like a 12v toggle switch with a tiny bulb right beside it... I will post pics tomorrow to clarify.

    My First CUCV

    Thank you ThunderCracker. Anyone know what the switch under the heater controls is for? Has a tiny bulb right beside it but as far as I can tell it doesn't do anything.

    My First CUCV

    I hadnt thought about grinding them down... wouldve saved me a lot of money. I ended up getting autolites, cant remember what part number but supposedly they are they exact ones. If not i will return them and get the 60s. If they are I will be sure to post the part number for everyone. Also Im...

    Hello everyone, my name is Justin. I finally went and picked up my first CUCV today. It is an 86 M1008 with under 48k miles. The previous owner bought her and gave her a half-assed white paint job but left everything else original. I have some plans for her in the near future, actually going to...
