Anyone ever seen a steering wheel like this in a CUCV. I am talking OEM? I have seen 2 so far in the past 30 years. I know this one was original. I have it for the past 20 years. My Son put a tilt column in his truck today. Ever seen that type of steering wheel? We have had that one for years...

I bought a body from a 1974 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. It is the model with the complete removable top. This is an easy conversion as I have a few M1009's setting unfinished. This looks like an easy modification and I think it will be pretty cool and unique. I was unable to access the site for the...

This weekend was a great time. My family kicked in and helped out. We have all the CUCV's running, cleaned up and serviced. Full Fleet back on the road again. Now I have an empty garage for an hour or so. But long enough for everyone to help sweep and clean up the entire garage. Sadly one of...

I have adopted a HMMWV M998 that has severe engine problems. And the worst part is I did not cause the problems or disassemble the parts from the engine. I know my way around a CUCV a little. Any way let me introduce you to my adopted HMMWV. Not bad from this point of viewThe problem was it was...

Any tricks to get the 6.2 diesel out when it is locked up tight? I have the heads and pan off 5 connecting rod caps disconnected, all the main bearings and caps removed, the timing chain and gear. It is basically a block. I would not fuss so much but I could get 5 of the 6 torque converter...

Now that the plows have been removed and stored in my garage it is time for some major rebuilding of the CUCV plow trucks. I have all new springs for both the CUCV pick up trucks. Things have not been going well during the spring removal. First bolt broke off flush. The other came out with the...

This is the second time I had one of the GM 28 MT starter bracket supports break. These trucks don't need any help chewing flywheels. Of course this happened while I was out 4 days for some surgery. And today I was told the truck makes a funny sound when you start it. I had to ask ? What is...

While I was at the grocery store last week I receive a tip from a widow that her husband had passed away and she knew I sold him that old Army truck. I did not know her but she said he had passed away and she wanted the darn truck out of there. I made arrangements that evening to go over in the...

I was going thru some old pictures and I came across these pictures of my M1028. This truck was so nice. I had it for 18 years and was always afraid to drive it and I just had to keep it in storage and it was a real pain in the butt. I drove it to several of the shows at Aberdeen and Jim Thorpe...

I used a CUC/V M1028 to tow an M998 and it was a nightmare. Any ideas? It pushed and swayed the whole way. Should the towbar be fully extended or as short as possible? Just a question. I made the trip without any issues but God there has got to be a better way. The HMMWV ruled the road on this...

Would Cole Hersey battery kill switch work on the rear 24 volt positive cable to shut off everything to the CUCV? I am asking because someone brought me one and wants it installed on the m1009 under the dash at the area where the diagnostic plug is located. I thought it would work and don't see...
