I bought a pair of new old stock side mirrors for my M1009, and I got them in today. They should be a good test for the Rapco paint I have ordered. It will interesting see well it matches up to the unweathered CARC.
I had a dumb-out moment for a second when I pulled them out of the box. For...
I'm sure this is common knowledge around here, but I discovered that my rear blackout lights have a brake light tonight. I was showing my M1009 to my brother tonight and showing him how the blackout lights and blackout drive light worked, and he made the comment "That's cool, the rears even have...
I found some shackles that are very, very close to factory CUCV pieces. I bought one of the screw type, but realized it really didn't look right. After a little digging, I found some from MSC that are pretty close. I did have to grind about .050" out of the center to go over the 1.5" tubing, but...
She looks good wet! I have planned on going back with camo all along, but seeing it wet is making me reconsider going with just green with the bumper numbers, TP #'s and stars.
I went and got it from Warner Robins AFB today. SS member SETOYOTA walked me through the process and was a lifesaver. Thanks once again, Chuck!
The Blazer runs and drives great. I had to put a battery in it and it was a quart low on transmission fluid, but it seems to mechanically sound. The...
I need a few parts for my M1009, including the rear window crank and regulator and side mirrors among other things. I can find bright finish mirrors all day long from regular trucks, but the CUCV mirrors are painted. Does anybody know if they are the same mirrors just painted, or different. If...
74 days since SENT TO BC... This is getting ridiculous! I thought when the disclaimer on the EUC said "FIRST-TIME APPROVALS BY THE TSC MAY TAKE UP TO SYXTY DAYS FROM THE TIME AN ACCEPTABLE EUC IS RECEIVED" was a typo. Now I'm wondering how long SYXTY days really is!:sad:
I bought a wrecked Suburban with a great running 6.2 and a Banks Sidewinder Turbo set-up for my M1009. I'm going to tranfer the turbo stuff over to M1009, and save engine for a spare. It runs great!
I would love to see some old pics of them as delivered from GM or some from the 80's in stock form. I have looked around, but all I could really find is this old article. The article is cool, but it full of incorrect data. It says the CUCV's are 135HP and have 28 volt systems among other things...
I sold this Halftrack for a friend a few years ago, and I thought I'd post the pics. I have always wondered what became of it. Has anyone here familiar with it? It was pretty heavily modified by a wood yard owner at some point. It was made by White, and it did run well.
I have always wanted a M1009 Blazer, and I finally checked out GL and purchased one. I bought the cleanest, straightest one of the lot, and that EUC can't clear fast enough! I can't wait to get it.
Even though this is my first CUCV, I'm had experience working on my friend's '86 M1008. I have...
I'm a totally new to this stuff, so please forgive my ignorance. I would like to get a trailer from GL to pull behind my new M1009, but I don't which trailers are suitable for it. If anybody can tell me which trailers are light enough to (legally) pull with my Blazer, I would greatly appreciate it.
