I used heavy-duty velcro to attach my plate to tailgate. I don't like to display my license plate all the time, so this method allows me to take the plate off and on when needed. My avatar is my plate.

Hiya all, I got the truck on Friday staight from the GSA. It appears to be a headquarters truck for the Florida National Guard in Southern Florida. Overall, its in good shape. Starts right up and drives pretty good. I have taken it up to about 50 and it steers, shifts and brakes just fine...

RE: Re: RE: Not happy with the new purchase so far. Seems like Alfa, and while gets a special deal on those tires, always have issues with them - like out of balance. This is like the 3rd report I have seen about a CUCV coming from Alfa and having the tires be out of whack. Such a simple...

Check every hose line in the engine compartment ... see if there is any trace of fuel residue and drops. Have you changed the fuel pressure switch? - it's under the fuel filter. Or know that it has been changed? There was a WO back in the early 90's to have them all swapped out. I suggest...

So, I really do have a CUCV problem. I purchased another one today from the GSA here in GA. Truck appears to be in good condition, and apparently runs as well. There is a little rust reported around the top of the door frame. I will be picking it up in the upcoming days. I am really only...

My FL one came with undercoating, and it' looks really good underneath. There isn't any rust/rot on my truck as well.

Let me check tonight/tomorrow and I will let you know. Thanks! -graham

Hi there, The vehicle should be exempted from state-level emissions due to it being designed and manufactured with medium duty parts. Blazer is a light-buty truck, so it can't be tested against that standard as the M1009 has a medium duty intake, amongst a few 'upgrades'. And it can't be...

From what I can tell, I think you are clear on Lot #14. I was thinking about putting in a bid on that lot, but seems like you got it handled. -graham

Well, I know with the TH350's, the reverse is a band - no clutch packs. So in the few times that I had major slippage and when finally TH350's went out, I always had reverse. Now, with the TH400 - I am not sure if the above is true. Sounds like the pressure works a bit different between the...

It's the 'only' fuse on the bottom row. -graham

RE: Re: CUCV Starter GB That's fine, just giving you some $h!t ! -graham

Re: CUCV Starter GB Ethan, I said in the mentioned thread that I would like one as well .... are they are all spoken for now? Maybe I will bid on the other lot and let you haul it out for me too :lol: -graham

Re: RE: Re: RE: hoods It's all good Mike, I appreciate it - but I am going to stick with the hood from my parts truck. -graham

Interesting; came across this beauty on GSA's auction site ... www.gsaauctions.gov --> Construction Equipment --> 1955 REO TRUCK WITH MOUNTED CRANE . Attached is a pic. Enjoy. -graham

Re: RE: hoods Yeah, cheap until they try to hit you for a $90 shipping charge! I was going to buy from them - but having the total to be something like $165 - I am going to use the one of of the parts truck instead. -graham

Re: RE: CUCV Starters on GL Nope, these two auctions are for a lot of 13 ... so starting bid being $50 for the lot. Look at the weight (442 lbs) and shipping quantity (1 pallet). So, who is going to bid on them? Builder77? Whomever does, I will take one as well - having a NOS one would be...
