What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2
I came across a vast conspiracy today! It seems that the Novita folks who make an electromagnetic flasher module for these trucks got together with Chevy back in 1984 and conspired to make adding LED lights to the trucks difficult. I put in an EL12 flasher module for the flashers. They work... -

I wire brushed the seating surface first and I was planning on the re-torque in about a week. -

Replaced tie-rod, recentered the center link, and installed 1.5" spacers. Steering is tight and right and the death-wobble is cured! Now for an alignment. -

I have the inner tie rod on the way, so once I replace that (it's joint is loos as well) and check the damper I'll worry about shimming it up. But that is an awesome idea! -

I figure that she's only got 35k on her in 40 years. Might as well replace the parts that are worn. But with the thicker tires on her, the driver's side tire already ate my BRAND NEW boot! So spacers are on the way now too...damnit! -

Set about curing my death wobble today. New centering-link ends and new upper kingpin bushings and springs. Found out that the lower kingpins are most likely shot too. Got those kits and an inner tie-rod on the way. Progression on the springs/bushings pics are new/driver/passenger. -

Curious what was mounted to the left fender.
That is an older mount, but that's the concept. -

What is this? And what was it designed to haul?
SF side-by-side maybe? One of their gun-mounted ATVs? -

C2 is Command and Control. It would have had a BUNCH of radios and whatnots in it. The tower mounts like others have mentioned would be on it for that reason. -

rear end bounce at lower speeds
As of now, replacing the steering gearbox took MOST of the slop out of the steering. The tie-rod ends are next. After learning that the upper kingpin needs 550 ft/lbs of torque, I'm praying that it's just the bushings that are shot. The truck is almost 40 years old, but only has 35k on her. -

King Pins, but I misused the name for the ball joints on the ends of the tie-rods and drag link. -
