m1009 Transmission Mount

So I was going through the LMC book and ordering motor/ transmission mounts and various other things, and they arrived yesterday. So I decided to start looking the project and just get some ideas on where and how to start. Long story short I saw the trans mounts that are on it now and realized the one I got wasn't the right one. Apparently even though my truck is an '86, it still uses the '73-84 style rubber mounts. Lesson learned, next time look at the part I'm going to replace before ordering.

All the CUCVs where built to 1984 stardards. They did not receive the upgrades that the Civvy trucks received.

So whatever year of CUCV you are working on, the parts should be ordered for a 1984.

This has been covered many, many times. You are not the first and WILL NOT be the last to make this booboo.

Good to know! I'm still learning to walk with these vehicles. It's a process...
