That’s a fine looking truck!

Best idea so far!

I spent much of my career professionally restoring and tuning vintage road race cars. I do all of my own work, I admittedly don’t know much about diesels but the rest of the truck I can handle with a little bit of research here and there. If I were to modify the truck would remain as spartan...

I love CUCV's in all forms from bone stock to max effort offroad rigs. I know I'll get responses such as "it's your truck do what ever you want". I also don't want this to turn into a bash session, but I'm interested to hear peoples philosophy on this: I have a 99% original m1008 in great...

That’s great to hear, I do love the clatter of the 6.2 but a good old 350 is just so nice to work on.

Here is what I’ve learned so far: I purchased the Holley brand LEDs in white and red along with some white peanut bulb sizes LEDs from Amazon. So far I have only done the tail lights and the factory flasher can is working just fine. The Holley brand LED for the flasher/ tail lights kind of...

Looks like a clean install. Is the increase in power very noticeable? Curious to see what kind of mileage you get. Will that motor run on regular 87 octane?

I like to have bright snappy signal and brake lights on my vehicles for safety reasons. Has anyone installed LED bulbs for brake and flashers? I figure reducing the load on old wiring isn’t a terrible thing either I purchased a no load flasher and led bulbs from Holley and plan to attempt...

Thank you, they are both a work in progress. :ROFLMAO:

Thank you all for the help and information. The neighborhood watch approves. Merry Christmas!

I bet you can find a used fuse block, lots of people parting out Cucv trucks here in the US

Not to go too sideways on the conversation but I'm sure the dummy lights were spec'd to remove any opinion from the operator. It's much easier to train and lead someone to report something as broken when the light turns on VS relying on interpretation of what a gauge is saying. I think it's one...

If I were to go that far custom I’d rewire the truck with a new harness and go 12v with a single alternator.

Question is would it be easier to just remove the intake? My vacuum pump is also seeping oil all over my starter.

I appreciate the advice, seems like Right stuff is the only way to go with pretty much anything you don't want to leak on these vehicles

That is the rating for a M1009 with brakes, tires, suspension, frame, steering, ect in like new condition. These vehicles are almost 40 years old folks!

Ok I will leave ‘er alone. Thanks for talking me off the ledge.

You must be psychic! Yes it’s the on one the bottom. I suppose to torque that line the manifold would have to come off? I think I already know the answer but I figured I’d ask before tearing into it

This is the feedback I was looking for. Thanks

I was working on the truck today and realized I have a single injector line that is wet where it joins the pump. The truck starts perfectly but has a miss when it's idling. I assume these two things may be related. the rest of the pump is bone dry but there is now a mess in the valley...
