When you install the shackle flip kit you will need to relocate the rear passenger-side shock mount because the kit actually causes a rotation of the axle to the extent that the shock will not clear the axle tube and still bolt at the top. This issue has been discussed on SS before. You either...

Trimming fenders There's really nothing wrong with trimming fenders.

Just so you will know, the LMC replacement windshield rubber is too large. Search for OEM instead. I threw my new LMC rubber in the dumpster.

I can't imagine the tires being too large.

sandcobra, I agree with you 100%. I had not planned to re-nominate my M1028 again this month however someone else did. I believe your M1028 may be the finest example of an original CUCV in existence. In my opinion, you should have won last month's contest. To have a mil-spec non-restored...

A new Moog stabilizer takes care of my 11.00/20's. No shimmy or shake whatsoever. Hope this helps.

A Mile Marker hydraulic winch uses no electric power and is driven by the power steering pump.

My M1028 is painted all green with 383 CARC Substitute. It does not "chalk up".

CONCESSION SPEECH - I offer my congratulations to vtdeucedriver. The voters have spoken and confirmed that your truck is the most deserving for the title. It was a heck of a race. I hope to meet you someday. If I make it to Heaven before you, I will save you a seat. Mike Gresham Paris...

Everyone - The MV-of-the-Month contest has less than 3 hours to go till closing and my M1028 is neck-and-neck with a 5-ton tractor trailer! I understand a CUCV has never won this contest so this may be our last chance for a long while. If you have already voted for my truck, Thank You! If...

Skysix - I have the OEM GM 4000 rpm tach but haven't yet installed it due to career obligations. And to complicate matters, it looks like I will be needing another back surgery sometime later this year. Dam getting old sucks. But the good news is, I believe I have everyting figured out...

OK, I have been asked again to what extent I rebuilt/restored my M1028. The person who asked said my rebuild thread was too long for him to read. So I figured I would list a summary here with a few photos of what I did - Spring 2010 to present (4 years and counting) - Disassembled all body...

If you have a truck capable of towing, drive over there, rent a U-Haul car hauler, pull the CUCV onto it and strap it down with the U-Haul straps, bring that baby home and roll her off in the yard, take the U-Haul back. Safe and sound. No worries. So easy a Caveman can do it.

To provide another example to demonstrate the extent to which I restored my M1028, please consider my doors. At the point in time when I lost complete control and decided to restore/rebuild the truck with no regard to cost, I stripped the truck down to the cab on the frame. I removed the hood...

OK, I have been asked "to what extent did I restore my rig?". To answer that question would require way too much space here, but is well documented in my rebuild thread, if anyone has the time and inclination to go through all the pages. As an example, however I will use my rear springs. When...

My M1028 sat on a National Guard base in Arizona for 25 years. When I got it in 2010 the original mileage was 12,338, which means it was driven around base approximately 500 miles per year. I purchased it from a fellow in Scottsdale, AZ who had won it in a local base auction, and then posted...

Thanks for the advice ZOUT. I am headed over there now.
