    Thanks blazerboy! I finally got my M1008 fired up this past weekend! I'm excited, but its got a LONG way to go before it will be a drivable truck.

    acetylene shortage ?

    Wow, I didn't know anything about the shortage until I read the thread. I guess I live under a rock:mrgreen: I don't fill mine very often. I'm interested to hear about propane set-ups though. I remember cutting with propane on my dad's torch, but I can't remember what he changed, if...

    How fast does a M1008 go?

    Nice clean truck. I was surprised to see the higher speeds posted. Everything I have heard/read says 55 mph. Good to know. Appreciate the info. I have a long way to go before mine drives, so its good to know what to expect.

    CUCV's bigger brother

    Glad to hear you got it running. Sounds like you might have lucked out and got decent engine. I'm real interested to hear what gears those axles have.

    x2 good catch. I was looking at that truck too (but I didn't bid) I'm impressed you got it so quick. I wondered if they used the CUCV key. I guess I got that answer now:beer:

    Is winter over yet?

    WOW. I love snow but can't stand salt destroying my trucks/cars. People, including my wife, think I'm insane but I'm at the car wash with kneepads on washing the underside after salty trips

    Thanks. Glad it worked. I feel your pain on the rubber lines, I attempted to start my M1008 yesterday and had fuel spraying everywhere.

    Geeting hooked on MVs. in New Jersey

    Hi everyone. I've been looking around and gaining info since joining late last year. Thanks to everyone who has posted great tech. I'm into Jeeps, Farm Tractors and now MVs. I have an M1008 but I think it is too far gone to bring back to life. (it was a residue truck) I'd really love to do a...

    M1009 - Speedo Cable

    I don't know if this helps or not but I had a similar thing going on with my Jeep (Not a MV...) Mine turned out to be a problem within the actual speedo itself. Although I have a NP208 that came out of one of my M1008s that has the plastic speedo gears all stripped inside. I never drove it...
