Fellow KC M1009 Owner I was just looking through old posts and thought I would say hello to the other MV owners in the Kansas City area. I have a 1986 M1009 that is in pretty good condition. There are a few things that could be fixed, but overall the truck is in good shape. The main thing...

Thanks guys. The truck has what I assume is the original paint from when it left the military; all I have done is wash it. I got a great deal on the truck because it needed a new radiator and has a small leak coming from the injector pump. When I got it I removed the batteries and cleaned...

I just wanted to introduce my self and post some pictures of my CUCV. This is my 1986 M1009 overall it is in good shape and has a lot of potential. I have installed a new radiator and I am working on getting the interior fixed up. The body is in great shape with no rust. The truck only has...

That is odd that someone posted having problems with Progressive. I recently insured my M1009 with Progressive and had no problems at all. I gave them the VIN and they were able to pull it up in their computer as a Military Blazer. I have it insured as a non primary vehicle with liability...

I am looking to repaint the door panels and dash pad for my M1009. I want to make sure that I use the correct color. I am looking at using SEM brand paint and I have heard that the correct color is burgundy 15063. Is this the correct color? Has anyone used this brand of paint on their...

That makes sense. I was wondering how to use solder and still have the spring able to compress. But I guess that if you solder the wire to the tee button separate from the spring that it will still allow the spring to compress. Thanks for your help. I will let you know how it works.

On my M1009 the wire to the bulb that illuminates the Voltage Meter has fallen apart. Does anyone know how to properly reconnect the wire? There does not appear to be a way to crimp the wire into the piece that holds the light bulb. See the links for pictures of the wires and light bulb...

If you still have the instrument cluster, I am looking for the plastic part that holds the instruments. I don’t know the exact name for this part but it is white and in addition to holding the instruments it is the piece that the dash bezel is screwed into. I would also be interested in your...

This weekend I installed a new radiator in my M1009. Everything went well, except for the lower radiator hose. I ordered all of the hoses from LMC Truck and I have come to the conclusion that I have the incorrect lower radiator hose. I spent at least two hours trying to get the hose to go...

I don’t know what you have still have left, but there are a few items that I would be interested in if they are still available. 1) The black plastic trim piece that goes around all of the gages on the dash. 2) The instrument cluster. I really don’t need the gages, but I broke the plastic...

I am new to military vehicles and will be picking up my first M1009 on Sunday. I have been searching and reading the forums for a while and have read that there is a guy named Brian in Fontana Ks that sells CUCV parts. Does anyone have his contact information? The website www.brtruckparts.com...
