All CUCV lovers, this truck is going downhill. It needs a new dash pad now and the door panels are fading at the top. I have had a good run with this truck and it is all still bone stock original save for a heater core from Napa and a rebuilt starter after it broke the nose cone off from a local shop, starter is otherwise original. I did do the DH Glowplug relay bypass as instructed and replaced the glowplugs with AC60's. It now has close to 7,400 original miles and is still rolling on the original Firestone tires from 1985.
In seriousness, this truck is quite a find but it will never be loved out here for what it is. If there is a CUCV lover who would like to actually care for this truck, I am all ears. I prefer not to sale outright but if you read earlier in the thread, I actually was trying to purchase an M1009 Blazer. I would like one that looks pretty decent and would consider a straight trade but once again another hitch, I would like to know how you would take better care of my M1028 other than drive it around once in a while and leave it sitting baking in the Ga sun.
I got a once in a lifetime deal on this truck, went through a pile of nonsense but honestly, the 5 ton gets driven alot more, the deuce that lived here before got driven alot more and this truck deserves better than what I can give it if anyone is interested is preserving one. If not, it's paid for and can continue his duties out here on my 2 acres which mostly consist of sitting around. It does go to the GA Rally and ride trails and the locker in the front end helps it go up hills even the 5 tons and Deuces can't handle. There are no dents but I really need one that is not so perfect so I can dent it and not worry.
