Congratulations on the new truck!

That looks good. Where do you find something like that and if you don't ,mind, how much? Thanks.

Thank you for posting pics. Just an hour ago I was looking for pictures of what the dash mounted radio equipment looked like. I am looking to get the radio/equipment for my M1009.

Thank you.

I do have a question. You stated you did all the underside painting. Do you do any kind of sand blasting? I have a 1986 M1009 that I would like to paint the underside but there is a fair amount of surface rust. Thank you for your time.

WOW. That is one awesome M1009.

I had the same questions as well. Thank you for the replies, pics and part numbers.

I replaced the inner fenders on my M1009. When I removed the old passenger side one, I noticed how accessible the fuel pump was, so I replaced it. I would suggest it would be a good time to replace your fuel pump if original. Just a suggestion.

I have one I can send you.

Do you have the part numbers from Orielly's? I have been trying to find the parts for the exhaust for my M1009. Thank you.

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

Thanks for the update. It is good thing to get these old trucks running again.

I had the same issue with my 86 M1009 it had a push button and hard starting problems. Do you have a GP contoller card? If so you can look at getting the wiring back to stock, then you can use the TM's to diagnose your issue. I suggest printing out the wiring diagrams and see what has been done...

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.

I replaced the core support bushings on my M1009. Not as daunting as I thought, not easy, but not horrible. I can think of much worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon.
