OK. May I suggest that you thread the bolt thru the bracket and nut. That way you have a stud and can put the strap onto the stud and just put a nut on it. Also loosening the lines as you do the fitting will help. Them replacement lines are a blast. Some fit like a glove and others fit like Oj's...

Problem solved. Under speed can you imagine the stress and wobble in that cable. Either the cable is worn / stripped and the square ends are worn off or the adapter has the worn out insert. I think you found the problem. I knew you could do it. Good Luck. Report back on your findings.

I always use PPG paint products. I never gave a lot of thought about anti rust. I never really believed in anti rust. Steel rusts from every angle. I am only working on 1 surface of a multi surfaced steel part. I do my best. But here is what I have as an option...

I have a complete crate like the one pictured. My Father gave it to me. It is in near perfect condition. My Father had a .50 caliber rifle that he target shot all the time. It had a scope as long as the rifle and the barrel was about 1 1/2"-1 3/4" round. You removed the bolt and attached the...

Todays post will be historical militarily. It will not mention CUCV's. I was over working on a barn a few miles from my home. The south east corner post had fallen out 20 years ago and it wasn't going anywhere. It was level and well supported. I took a 40 ton jack and positioned it to get a few...

Cool picture of a leaf spring repair. If Women don't find you Handsome they should at least find you Handy. Don't laugh it worked. Temporary repairs are just that temporary. If it gets you back home and off the side of the road it is a great idea. Just Be Safe.

I don't know how much it runs and the engine screaming or not, You won't have a screaming engine on an M1009 that has the stock axles under it. The 3:08 gears are made for highway travel and you will not encounter the same engine RPM's that the CUCV truck/cab chassis variants have. The 4:56...

I had 2 CUCV plow trucks back 15 years ago. 1 had the stock set up and the other had the bypass done on the rear axle. And before someone mentions it I know there was a service bulletin that GM put out about bypassing the valve. Any way the truck that had the bypass done would lock the wheels...

Keeping my word to those that are following this thread I was out getting ready for another project and snapped a few pictures of the body parts. Technically speaking all the body work/dent removal and repair has been completed. I must get to Harbor Freight and pick up a few spray guns. I have...

This bolt was in there a good 1"-1 1/2" No ice pick spinning on this one. Maybe but doubt it. Good Idea. I sort of figured to was loose.

No I would use the gasket. Just the shellac to hold the thin gasket in place. Good Job. Do you have a replacement stud?

And yes I would use the new gaskets. I use gasket shellac. Good Luck.

But I will still wish you the best of luck. Report back. I think the bolt end is loose. I fear you may drive it in deeper. Good Luck.

I probably have a used set of OEM centers. What sucks about the is to fit on the stock M1009 wheels you will need to drill a few holes. The center bolt on from the back of the wheels. If you are interested let me know. I will make a deal. I don't have any steel rally wheels anymore just M1009...

Today I started out early and can now say both doors are completed on the outside. Both Fenders are completed on the outside. When I say completed they are straight and the body work is completed on them all. The hood is 95% prefect and I am going to just sand and use it the way it is. I also...

A thin kerf tappet wrench is needed when working on a CUCV engine.

Well I do recall that you are supposed to push a piece of hose over the end of the petcock. But you can change that stock petcock and put an angled brass valve on the drain. Eliminate the stock drain petcock. Or just live with it. The angled brass petcock can have a short fitting or hose...

Remember the fender dent from the loader? It pretty much gone. Being dented for over 25 years was long enough. I spent some time with a prybar , dolly and hammer. A light coat of filler and it is a good OEM GM fender again. Option was Chinese new ones or fixed rust free originals. That was an...

Under Belly mower deck attachment.

As in this Moskvitch? That looks like a bad ass 4 WD automobile. Has the Red Neck flare like putting a Camaro body on a K5 Blazer frame. I have the frame and axles. Camaro bodies are cheap and plentiful. I can see it now a 4 WD IROC Z. :)
