Need to do the dog head starter relay modification. There is a sticky in the cucv forum.

Congrats on a good truck. Hope to see you around town with it.

Installed FM 100 fuel filter. Got it from Gimpyrobb , put it all together on the bench with a thumbscrew bleed valve and hose. Used a piece of one inch square tubing between filter housing and the fire wall. Disconnected the noise supressors from the wiper motor and plugged the harness in...

That Jeep looks like my first vehicle, does it have a ford flathead V8 in it.

I rebuilt mine just for the challenge then took it to a local shop to have it checked, all was good. Keeping in mind I do use this shop for all my starter and alt work on my civilian vehicles, some shops won't want to help. If you are really worried get a spare and have it ready to go.

I used a paper clip. Heated one end , pushed it the plastic and bent to adjust the needle.

I found a local shop that has NOS heater cores. I had mine recored ,cab gets nice and toasty and no more smell of antifreeze.

I would like to order 1 XL tan and 1 XL gray, I will need them mailed, as I don't think I will make the rally. I know S & H is extra. Thank you.

I heated a paper clip red hot, poked it thru the plastic, ran the cable thru it and bent to adjust indicator, been 4 years.

I removed my heater core, connected the hoses together with a 3/4 to 5/8 connector so minimal loss of coolant and still can drive it. I will take the core to the local radiator shop and have it rebuilt.

I'm not a pro painter but when I did my M1008 about 3 years ago I power washed then hit the entire body with a DA using a good respirator, and sprayed, with CARC. In a few places where I missed with the DA I have a few peels. I would sand the entire truck, any paint job is only as good as its...

Fuel fill neck has 3 0r 4 sheet metal screws securing it to the box.

My wife and I stayed in a rented RV for the 2011 rally. It was used, but clean and dry, with a shower and hot water. If my schedule permits I would stay in them again next time we make a rally.
