    Seat Part Help

    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.

    A Few M1009 Questions

    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 went junkyard diving yesterday in the M1009 and found some Jeeps!

    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...

    Parting Out CUCV

    I have found a junked 84 CUCV in Georgia and I plan to go down in December and get as much off of it as I can. What do you recommend if you could only get under ten items? Bringing back the whole thing is not an option. Thanks!

    Inverter Question

    I just bought a 750W 12V inverter to power some AC needs. I found that the old radio buss on the side has 24V in the back. What do I need to do to convert that to 12V to run the inverter? Is it as simple as adding the correct resistor?

    500 Mile Road Trip - What to Bring?

    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...

    License Plate on your M1009

    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]

    Passenger floor attachment point

    What is the in-floor attachment point just behind the passenger side front seat for? There is not one on the drivers side.
