CUCVRUS Repair Projects

[WWRD99]

I am looking for 2 bed sides for an M1028. 8ft bed sides. Anyone know who sells decent aftermarket? Lik a fool I sold all the GM ones I had. Oh well.

I think there's a pair on marketplace by me if I remember right. Pop your search south a touch and see if they're still there.

New truck that was run in 4Hi on the highway. I stole this picture, but it is the same picture that I use as a reminder to disengage 4WD when the low traction condition is over.

Ouch!

I had a new furnace put in 2 weeks ago. I had to move lots of things in my basement. My wife used to tell me she had lots of CUCV parts for me. She would buy them on EBay or where ever she found them. She always took great interest in the parts I said were hard to come by. I found one of here containers on a shelf in the basement. Some of the stuff I seen before but some I did not.

Here are some more things I found. The CUCV electric book is a very informative book on the CUCV glow plug system. Very helpful

These are the troop seat uppers that I have. If they interest you I will get a quote

…….. is the Pacer a v8?

No, it is engineless. It is a Pacer X with a factory tach and full gauge console. It was a stick shift car, but it had a 6 cylinder in it. It needs lots of TLC. Are you interested? My Son said he wants to put a 6.0 in it. I don't see that happening soon.

…….Just asking, I don’t think there were many of the v8

Good eye there, german m1008!

An uncle of ours (M4 Tank commander in Patton's Third Army; two Silver Stars), thought (evidently), that the Pacer was a very cool looking car:

- His family was the only one I ever knew to buy one

- His son, my cousin, used to hide in embarrassment when his mom would come pick him up at high school in the Pacer (he didn't want to be seen in the thing)

What a hoot!

I never saw the Movie, but of course always heard about it:

- You brought me up-to-date; thanks, Brother!!

As sad as it may be I have been employed as a vehicle crusher. I crushed lots of vehicles. Memories of several Blazers, pickups, Suburbans from the 60”s thru the late 80s. Many Scouts , Jeeps. Pony cars, thousands over the years. That was and still is what happens to vehicles that are worn out or damaged. One sticks out the most is an orange GTO Judge.

It's okay though, cucvrus. It hurts. But. It has always been this way.

That moment is coming to us all:

- "Ashes to ashes; Dust to dust"

So dance some, and sing your song!

Elektroman99 I think these are the parts you are looking for. Took me a while to find the 4WD shift bezel. Many are trashed.
I hope that helps.

I was doing some cleaning out of my basement and came across these glow plug cards. Is there anyone that does repairs of the circuit cards? It may be that 2 of the 3 are fine. I only see 1 burnt resistor but would rather know they are good before assuming they are good.

Being mostly nothing but a knucklehead "wood-butcher", I am not ENTIRELY sure...

But I believe that testing each single component on the board with a multi-tester will confirm effectiveness of the board (right?! Electiricty always struck me as part Voodoo).

But you probably know better yourself, cucvrus; it's all just a matter of time-and-patience (my simplified take-away about electronics and components).
