    M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

    I loved the Goodyear Duratraks on every vehicle I ever put them on. My Trail Boss is OEM equipped with these tires and I have 39k miles on them and they are still 9/32 tread. MTR were my favorite tires, but time has passed, and they went the way of the Wild wood weed and Dodo bird.

    I can thank Mr electric heater for my comfort and ability to make progress. I just hope the electric meter stays attached to the house as the meter is spinning out of control. I am always happy with the CUCV stance after replacing all 4 leaf springs with stock height springs. After 40 years...

    This M1009 is a 1984 model built 08/1983 the cables that ran to the rear radio were run on top of the floor. This hole is 1 1/4” I used a standard hardware store steel plug and painted it to fill the void. I was going to weld it shut early on but wanted to retain the stock hole. I hope you are...

    B pillar plugs. Hardware store the ones that were in there turned to chalk dust. The left panel was tight I had to hammer it in. I think that will get thru QA. Quality assurance. Later.

    Good time to stop for the day. No use over doing it. Under hood brake hydro boost is all reattached. I have the left vent and E brake all hooked up and attached. I think that is enough for 1 day. I currently only have wood heat in my home and need to fire up the boiler. All the pedals are...

    CUCV Heaven, My build of a 1009 and 1008

    Just use lock nuts the crimped type. I took them off many times they are not as easy as a few bolts. Where would it sit to allow time to remove it?
