    My NOS mirrors came in!

    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...

    Blackout brake lights!

    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 a pretty close match to original.

    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...

    Cleaned up the M1009 today.

    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.

    Recovered my M1009 today!

    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...

    Anyone know of good source for used CUCV parts?

    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...

    Any first timers have a 5143 auction clear yet?

    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:

    Scored a 6.2 with Banks set-up for my M1009

    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!

    Does anyone have any old CUCV pics?

    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...

    Pics of a Halftrack I sold several years ago.

    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.

    New M1009 and Military 6.2 powered '67 C-30

    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...

    Trailer for M1009

    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.
