I've been planning this for about two years already. The crew I have kinda fell into my lap for free. I just had to drive about an hour or so to get it. At one time I had a 79 short bed fleet side too. I was thinking hard about running the factory short bed and the crew cab. Those are sweet...

Yes, I'm need the 4wd where I live. Too much snow to have a truck without 4wd. Right now I'm still in the parts gathering phase. I've been looking at different options for drive train. Pulling trailers to the dunes is in the future so a Cummins for sure. After that I'm thinking a Eaton-Fuller 6...

I know there is no such thing... there is military crew cabs out there, but they aren't a CUCV. what I would like to know is anyone has built one? I remember someone doing a suburban awhile back, but I've never seen a good crew cab. That being said I have a 1985 M1008 parts truck and 1983 C30...

Yup... did it too. Stupid easy. Cheap insurance

I just wanted to say thank you to the members here for helping me. You didn't know you helped because I used the search button and found the information I needed. My M1008 was having the gen 2light staying on trouble. I replaced the passenger side alternator with one off of my parts truck and...

There is a older fella local to me that has swapped a duramax and Allison into a late 70's K20. Plan on oil pan modifications a 2in body lift andsome computer work. The 6bt, 5.9, Cummins or wwhatever you what to call it is a far easier swap. That is why people are swapping them into everything...

It's alot of fun. I bought a little trailer to pull behind it. It's not a military trailer, but its an old civilian Jeep trailer from the 50's that someone painted OD green.

Bubba didn't do much to this one... the only rust I have found was in one of the hat channels... the back panel is perfect, except it backed into something and pushed it in alittle. The floors are all in great shape. I removed the license plate and plan on mounting it in a better spot. The black...

Let's try this...

I just bought an M38a1 the other day. It's in darn good shape, no bubba mods to speak of. It has an old Koenig PTO winch, and some old Thunderbird seats. I can't figger out how to post pics off my phone though... is there someone I can email or text them to?

I'll 3rd the motion. Get some crossover steering while your at it and you won't regret it.

Mine used to make alot of noise.... It didn't have any fluid in it. And the shift fork was machining itself away. After a rebuild and full of fluid its alot quieter.

Okay, so the other day I went out to start my M1008. I turned the switch to warm the glowplugs and waited. The volt gauge didn't do anything weird. When the wait light went out I hit the switch and the starter clunked and the volt gauge dropped. Then there was nothing. No smoking or nothing. I...

It can't be any farther south than it would be for me... I live north of Yreka.:-P I might be moving back down there soon though.

My 40in LTB's rock!! I love everywhere I go!

I'm ready for a Nor-Cal meet. How's Hollister sound??

GruntMP, I'm closer than you think... I'm a Chippie in Yreka and the truck is near Alturas. I would be happy to lead you to it if you seriously want to look into it. I can't right now since I already have two projects to work on.

Yeah, I don't know. All I can think is thats because its in a pretty remote part of the state, you have to know where it is to find it. You can't see it from any main roads. My dad found it in 2006 and it hasn't changed at all.

Thats cool Grizcty that you were at Fort Ord, I used to live in Salinas. My wife and I used to go hiking on the trails on the old Fort Ord.

Here in the Peoples Republic of California, I wouldn't do anything like this without putting forth some effort to locate an owner. Especially since the truck is on Federal land. Its not like the mine is in a park, I just don't want to end up in prison for stealing a truck from the Feds. I...
