hahahahaha "had to jack truck up to get the chair out"They definitely don’t make chairs like they used to.
Chair is from the 1950’s and it did bend a bit,
Really strong chair.
Made a heck of a racket.
Had to Jack truck up to get it out.
I parked in the shade in a spot I normally don’t park.
Went to move truck later and wham!
I’m still shaking my head…………
I see you're in Carrollton lol.... I remember seeing an M1009 out on the road recently. Wonder if that was you.M1009 Replaced all the belts and upper rad hose. The driver Alt belt had gotten so much play in it it was rubbing a hole in my upper rad hose. Also changed the old black stuff that was supposed to be power steering fluid.
Wouldn't have been me. Unfortunately I'm just starting to work on mine again. Trans went out in 2017 when I was trying to save money to buy a house. Fast forward to 2021 I'm now in said new house and finally able to start working on him again. The plan is to have him ready to drive to Moab by fall next year.I see you're in Carrollton lol....

I've seen a handful of 09's around the Carrollton area, but I rarely ever see any of the cucv variant trucks. Of course I'm not in Carrollton that much anymore unless it's for work. I usually keep it around the Bowdon/Bremen area where it's less hectic..Wouldn't have been me. Unfortunately I'm just starting to work on mine again.

I can assure you Cleburne county in Ala is starting to better each day. Carroll county in Ga is growing too fast...I rarely get up to Carroll county any more. I just changed my profile since you reminded me it still said that. I'm actually in Roanoke Al now.
Nice which kit did you go with. I've had the 6 quart kit on my wish list for a while now with plans to do exactly the same thing.Put in Raptor Liner. Removed seats and seatbelts, pressure washed, degreased, scuff pad, etching primer and rust converter primer where needed, and two coats of raptor liner and 8 hours later.. One of my top favorite things about this truck. Looks much nicer than I anticipated.View attachment 839838![]()

I did the Duramax fliter conversion. That primer pump comes in handy..Spin on fuel filter mod. It being crooked is going to bother some folks but I did it that way so I could fit longer filters on if needed. Eventually going to put a petcock in the other side for bleeding.
Only took 4 bottles.. like $130? Perfect amount. I was able to walk around and touch up and did overspray quite a bit to even it out. No need to get 6.Nice which kit did you go with. I've had the 6 quart kit on my wish list for a while now with plans to do exactly the same thing.
Jealous of your pump but I've found just cranking with the ignition wire disconnected has worked just as well. How much was your base? Those sh!ts are expensive!I did the Duramax fliter conversion. That primer pump comes in handy..
