P/N 14061503 TUBE ASSEMBLY,METAL (35.52"LG) 1 MAKE FROM TUBE, P/N 3750950

I was Lost In The Woods back in 1982, no AC in anything...not even the Cattle Cars. At that time we had D7E and D7F dozers.

M1008 has been resurrected from the frame up. This truck has been across the country 4 times and has been the leader in 2 MVPA Cross Country Convoys. So far, no major issues other than normal maintenance. Has all the items needed for living out of the truck. I have done that a few times...

Unfortunately, from what I have read, all of the vehicle records have been purged. But that number would most likely be on an Army vehicle.

I leave the Blue tape on my trucks, makes it much easier to find it in a parking lot. We all know that one camo truck looks like another. That is a beautiful truck!

That confirms that it was built for the USAF. You can remove the US Army and correct the number from 761 to 1761 Your right, they were made very close to each other. Good find! Here is what mine looked like when I found it in a grove of trees. It will be the next restoration project.

Is there a metal tag on the drivers side door post near the latch? Bottom line shows the Registration Number. That may solve the issue of being Army or Air Force.

Interesting, 85K761 would designate that it is an Air Force vehicle .

I have one of the cooling kits on my M1008. After 4 trips across the USA, still seems to be holding up just fine.

Got the cab mounted back on yesterday. Lots more to do.

Here is my M1008 and M101A2 Convoy unit. The S250 and the trailer are set up for camping. Bill Nutting made me do this.....

This may help you some: CUCV Battery Maintenance

Little more progress. Engine and transmission are in. Working on the engine bay wiring harness, lots of hidden surprises. 10 splices of questionable reliability found hiding under the split loom tubing. Edit: And another one today.

The high idle is not a function controlled by the GP card. It is turned on and off by a temperature controlled switch on the right side of the engine block near the rear of the engine.
