Not exactly the wash down I had in mind for Terminus M1009. But it was free and no effort on my part. I just finished mowing the grass and this storm rolled in on me. Oh well into all projects a little rain must fall. About 3" in a hour. It did not help get Terminus M1009 clean on the sides and underside. Maybe next time. Have a great day. The Sun is shining now.

I was fishing in Maryland yesterday and found a left Chevy truck door along the river in the woods. It had glass and all. The door was junk and the outside handle was missing. It was blue and from a 1983 1/2 ton 4 X 2 made in Canada. It appears to have washed there. I think that's possible. It was fun of water and mud. I know it wasn't there last month when I was the at the same spot. I brought it home and sawed the bottom of the door off so I could wash the mud out. the sash,window and regulator are in remarkably good condition. As is the wing vent and glass. Of course I packed it out. I was picking up litter. It had a small chrome mirror on the outside. Today was a good day at the YOUPULLIT. I found another set of quad shock mounts for Terminus and I also found a used back window for a K5 Blazer. I ran the cordless batteries dead before I could get the rivets cut from the frame on the shock mounts. Oh well Wednesday's another day. I hope I can make it back.

How did you make the ID to Canada, was it actually labelled that way somehow?

I was on a job to recover a downed CUCV and on the way back I stopped by and took a few casts. Water was very fast and high. Figures that's how the door got there.

If has the full VIN and the blue GM Canada sticker. Also has 2 as first in VIN. I could call the DMV or do a VIN search to get history. It was a good score. I am starting a new scrap pile again. Christmas vacation work to clean it up. Seems scrap is highest at the end of the year. Have a great day. Time to get to work. I will report back. I will take a few pictures of the door just as evidence.

DSCF3247.jpgDSCF3248.jpgDSCF3249.jpgDSCF3250.jpgI couldn't move the regulator. I cut the bottom of the door apart to get the regulator and door glass out. Today I am working on a shed roof. Maybe get some time for CUCV work. I will post if I do. Have a great happy July 4th.

If the door got washed down from the high water you may want to go back when you have a dry spell and look for the rest of the truck.

It may have just been dumped there. And the rest of the truck? 1983 1/2 ton 4 X 2. Not worth looking for. Scrap. Your a funny guy. Funny like HA HA. Not funny like a clown. :)

Is this a military term for something?

You ask a fair question, german m1108. It's an expression of a (now) old and antiquated radio system of shorthand. It means "understood", or "okay".

I don't believe it is actively used in radio communications any longer.

So when you read somebody saying "10-4", it's essentially just another way of saying "OK".

Well it was a thought: if you did find it at least you would have a place to sit while fishing.

Not sit. May I suggest a rhyme? S_it. From the looks of the bottom door edge. I could only imagine what the rest of the truck looked like. If it would have had lettering on the door I would have made a barn hanger out of it.
