On civilian truck/SUV, vent windows are different (73-84) & (85-91) The 85 ON assembly can be used as a replacement for 73-84, There may be a difference in the placement and number of holes . The 1984 CUCV, have NONE tinted glass, the two pieces weather strip molding and the black locking...
First, Sorry about my spelling. What I am sayng is that a lot of people dissmise the use of spacers, but spacers when properly made have found uses among heavy rigs and are DOT approved (DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPOTATION) even for some big rigs application.

the Humvee wheels have connical lugs holes and nuts and can not safelly be used reverse for high sustain speeds, they may not even center correctlly as the CUCV are not hubcentric, some of the Civilian early H1 Hummers "The scout" among then had the single 1 piece steel wheels and were hub...
The CrossOver stering is a "SHOULD" do upgade kind of a thing. I consider it a nessecity with the 1973-1987(1991) GM trucks Any time you off road a lot or go to wider 35" or taller tires. The added weight inertia & friction from the taller/wider and heavier tires/wheels puts a lot of strain on...

dsstang97 I would buy the used one for a $100, if you know is working and up to specs. Then if and when is dead you can rebuilt it. Not 100% sure of the part numbers but, there was an early and the more dissarable later model. Good luck either way!
With all the possible ways to lift this trucks and give articulation...
My money for "OFF The Shelf springs" is on "BDS".
I used their 5.5" spring lift for a 3/4 ton truck, that net me the 6" I was after with the Dana60. They are narrower then the 3" wide OEM springs used in front, but have more...

Thanks AJMBLAZER. I did not think of that.
I had seal or known chevy cab leaks, replaced door & window seals (the vent windows are a PITA) and wheater stripps, added the artic insulation undermatt and replace the HD rubber matt. That made a "HUGE" difference, untill I opened the Air cleaner...
Most rigs using levers or valves, that I have seen are some where in the floor middle or to the drivers left for eassy acces.
You could place it on the dash, like bottons on Big Rigs maybe one the plates that many M1009 have in the dash trim and reinforse it from the back with bolts & a metal...

Hello Glen. Your "on the road" 20 MPG or more for a M1008, N/A 6.2 and the stout but power sapping 3 speed TH400 and 4.56 gears is Very Good and unusual. Most SS members seem to average 11-14. Not sure of their driving, terrain and modifications.
For the M1008, I ended with after the build...
Kudos to you and companion on your journeys! Glad to read that you average 19 MPG.
