Ummm... you lost me right after “Hello Fellow Steel soldiers....”.

I’m ready to hear that thang running.

I used RTV to hold the O-ring in place while the outer rim was torqued down. RTV seemed to work better than Super Glue, which the previous owner had used and made a mess and had to be chipped out with a sharp screwdriver. Let us know how that McMaster O-ring fits.

Looking good.

I’m showing a part number for the boot as GM 7845127.

Has anybody come up with a way to insulate the open void space in our trucks cab roofs? It seems we spend a lot of time, money and effort insulating the floor and firewall but never do anything with the cab roof. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Looking good.

If you guys want to see what a real CUCV overlander looks like, check out Glockfan’s new thread over in the CUCV Hotrodding section.

Outstanding Joe. Probably the best overlander I’ve ever seen.

Thanks everyone but still have not found what I am looking for. I will post photos later.

Does anybody know a source for reproduction engine decals? I want to paint my air cleaner and would like to make it look new.

Money. All it takes is money. And plenty of it. And the ability to release that large sum of money without trepidation or guilt. And an understanding wife. And a successful career. And realistic goals. And patience. And quality tools. And dedication with a desire to think outside the box.

Glad it’s coming together for you. Thanks for the update.

Rich, a mechanical water temperature gauge could be the most important instrument in your truck. Here is the gauge I am installing in my M1028 - https://www.autometer.com/2-5-8-water-temp-120-240-f-6-tubing-mech.html

The correct TV cable is AC Delco 25515599. 36.1" long. The correct 700R4-to-NP208 tall adapter is GM 14038663 to fit on the standard CUCV crossmember. Not sure about that "W" crossmember, or if your NP241 is different. The 14038663 is 1-piece all cast, however I have heard that you can also...

Rich - glad it’s running. I recommend you consider mechanical oil pressure and water temperature gauges to eliminate any possibility of error. And yes I agree that the thermostat is not opening. Is it possible that it got installed backwards?

My fingers are crossed.

The good news is, you caught this before completing the project and starting out on a road trip.

I have purchased a non-running M1009 in Nebraska and need it transported to Kentucky. The M1009 is complete and in good shape but without engine, so the weight should be around 4500 lbs. All tires are good and tight. Cash in hand. Thanks.
