Damaged CUCV Rebuild

[wheelspinner]

After almost 21 months it finally is weather tight again. Had a local glass shop come out and install the windshield and two topper windows for CHEAP!

So since I have had the truck sitting around for so long, I have had time to dream. So far I have accumulated new axles (14 bolt w/Detroit Locker and D44 front- 4:10 gears) as well as just scoring a 4spd w/205 transfer case for CHEAP! Looks like I know what direction the truck will eventually take. Total investment is less than $500 so far.

IP was shot apparently after sitting for so long. New one us here. Hopefully going in today or tomorrow.

IT LIVES! Drove it again, finally! First time in second gear in 22 months. Felt great with the new IP, running like a top. Thinking about plates for it tomorrow. Replacing the IP was a busy-work job, but not real hard. I made sure all of the injector lines were nice and tight, annnnnndd still had a leak....I never checked the fuel inlet line stub. One full turn later and leak was gone. Feels good to cross that project off the list.

Where did you get the new pump? Price?

 

[wheelspinner]

I purchased a rebuild "service" from a supplier on Ebay. $255 included shipping my pump, the rebuild and the return.. Works perfect, very nice job.

I was having a little trouble with stalling, after talking to DH, tried turning up the idle at his suggestion and it now operates perfectly. Thanks Eric!

You mean to say that DH gives out good intel??? What is this world coming to?!?!?!?!?!

I read it in a TM...

Nice work, she looks good! How about some close up pics? I want to see the camo duct tape wrapped around the pillars

 

[wheelspinner]

No Duct tape.

PLATES ARE ON, back on the road!

I hear you've been using your chainsaw again, care to share?

I really shouldn't be allowed to operate these things.

And this is what I got in my fortune cookie today on the way home.

Yikes. Double yikes.

It's good to have good insurance.

 

[FMJ]

New tractor or old one fixed?

Never mind, looks like new, and bigger!

Just ship it to me, I'll keep you out of trouble.

Why not just fix the parts truck, paint it camo and call it a m1009
