Anyone know where I can get the lower drivers side plastic cover for the hinge? It seems to always be missing. Did other trucks use these types of seats? I looked at LMC but could not find them.
What is the fuel capacity? I have read 27 gallons but when I fill up a close to empty tank it seems more like 20 gallons. Is the transmission a 3 speed? I can tell when it shifts into second but I cannot detect when it goes into third. Can it be that unnoticeable? Does the vehicle have a...
I will be driving my M1009 from Florence, SC to South Georgia Friday evening. I will be traveling down I-95 starting about 5 pm until 9 pm. Just wanted to line up any fellow site members in case I need to request any assistance. Not that I expect any issues, but you never know. Thanks, and...
One of my favorite past times is to walk around in old auto junk yards! It is fun to look at old cars and trucks and imagine what they looked like in the show room. I know of a 40s yard in S. Georgia that is slowly overtaking many vehicles. They are just melting away into the ground. I will...

Overall MPG = 19.32
Best = 20.00
Worst = 18.56...
I am taking my M1009 from SC to GA and back this weekend. So far, I have put about 350 miles on the truck since I picked it up from Ft. Bragg last month. The tires are good, hoses and belts replaced; seems to be running strong. Besides the usual fluids and tools, what would you bring to...
I drilled and tapped two holes below the pintle and attached a flip down plate holder from a late 80s Impala. Painted it OD and it is good to go.[thumbzup]
