    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Replaced all the belts, cleaned up some rust, working on getting a new hand mic for the PA20A; wired in extra fuse panel for 12V accessories. Removing old matching unit (bolts rusted solid, rust water comes out of drain plug) looking for new matching unit, and looking for new front marker and...

    Federal Signal PA20A

    Ok, I contacted Federal Signal today and the person I spoke to either did not understand when I said PA20A or is a complete moron as the mic he told me to order has the same connector end as a guitar chord. Upon further research it looks like a PA200 mic has the same connector as the PA20A, so...

    M1009 Power Steering Belt Replacement

    I had to install the belt behind the lower pulley and put it on the rest of the pulleys first, then with a little coaxing it went on.

    M1009 radio mount

    Do you have a link? Doing a google search does not come up with any commerce sites, the best match I get is popular communications magazine. Thanks.

    Federal Signal PA20A

    The mic housing is cracked and the wiring inside is brittle and detached in several places. In order to fix it I need to see pictures of the inside of the mic.

    Federal Signal PA20A

    Thanks for the tip. It is a PA20A though; it's from the 60's/70's. If galls can help that will be great, but it comes down to it being outdated gear which is why I'm having difficulty finding it.

    Federal Signal PA20A

    I recently got an M1009 CUCV with this PA installed and the hand mic is shot. If anyone has any ideas where I might be able to get a replacement mic or some internal pictures or drawings that would be great. I will post pictures of the connector later as I'm on my phone and photo bucket saved...

    Firing my 155mm

    That is awesome, makes me yearn for my Army days... although my "gun" was 227mm firing only up to 12 rounds at a time; and killed grid squares :D

    New to forum, with new to me 1009

    Replaced some light bulbs today, replaced all the belts, and chased down a couple of shorts. Now I have to figure out what is wrong with the Interceptor PA that came with the truck; and figure out if I need to replace the matching unit. The Interceptor should be fixed with a new hand mic and...

    Just curious, would you guys recommend lashing the steering wheel or let her go free?

    New to forum, with new to me 1009

    I've been lurking here for a few weeks now in anticipation of getting my first CUCV. I got her last week, and did some work on her today (new batt, clean up). After driving her around for a couple of hours I'm happy to say that she seems to be pretty reliable thus far.

    MRE Heater

    I've been looking on Saturn Surplus and am unable to find the socket. I hope I'm just inept and they still have them; do you remember what it was listed under? Thanks. ETA: I found it but they are out of stock. Any helpful hints to find one would be much appreciated.
