My M1009

What does that 4 mean? I have a 4 on my right fender as well. The best I can tell my M1009 came from a National Guard unit in Indiana. The bumper number/marking is "38 38 MSB". I think the MSB may stand for Medical Support Battalion". Thanks.

The 4 is the bridge weight classification. Here's a link. This has been posted on SS previously. It is borrowed from the M715 Zone website.

38th MSB is Main Support Battalion. Unit was reflagged a couple years ago as the 38th Sustainment Brigade.

Recommend a google search to see if what you're thinking is correct. Most units have a downtrace list for their national guard, army reserve, active army units. It's open source so nothing classified about it.

Absolutely wonderful job on this M1009. I think you need some good bumper numbers to go with it and a radio set up.

N0w f0r the negat1ve....there a1n't n0 O in NFOKMO. 1t 1s a 0 (zer0). The m1l1tary d0esn't use I and O 1n ser1al numbers and reg1strat10n numbers.

Regarding the radio set up. If I were to want a radio for it what am I looking for in the way of cost. Probably a non working unit just to look correct?

Installed my newly repainted door cards and floor mat. All the rubber for the doors and rear gate have been replaced. Also installed the pioneer tool rack.

Next I need to get the new dashboard painted...

Looks very nice

The mat looks great but will trap moisture and eventually rust.
Hopefully you applied a rust preventative before install.

I did remediation on the small amount of rust on the floor. I also found a few cracks in the floor by the seat mount bolts. I welded them up. Used rust kill and repainted the entire floor and interior before installing the rubber mat.

I didn't use the jute padding under the rubber floor as that is what really retains any water.

That is a good looking truck. Thank you for posting pics and the updates.

How did you attach/secure the pioneer rack? It looks great there.
