    CUCV M1008 Build

    If the crack isn't bad, use some body filler. Sand it out and paint the whole dash.....Might save on a new one later

    Cargo cover frame restoration - Bow top strap dimensions?

    As I continue my search for that very strap, I was able to take a couple of Harbor Freight cam straps to make a giant loop. Extended it out to approximately the right dimensions and then throw my cover on. A few more minor adjustments and then wrapped the excess strap around the center hoop to...

    Trailer Brake Controller

    I installed a Curt Spectrum Brake Control. All of the wiring is hidden under the dash and I mounted this knob on the plastic radio plate.

    salesville arkansas just outside of Mt. Home

    I wish I was closer, and I would help out, but I think you may get more traction if you post this in the CUCV forum

    Has anyone mounted a RAK 15 or RAK 30 in a CUCV?

    I recently acquired a few RAK 15 units and was thinking about mounting one in my CUCV truck......Wondered if anyone else had done this and where they mounted it. Not a lot of room in the truck so I am curious if anyone has done it and where they mounted it. Please post pics if you have.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    That would definitely explain the extra holes. It wouldn't be that difficult to make new struts to even go beyond what you have to snug up the top...I have seen a few CUCV covers floating around, but I don't think any of them were priced below $500....new struts might only be a 10-15 foot piece...

    Thats what the big fella standing on the tailgate is for LOL...the human handrail (and he can catch a falling wine taster too!)

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    The holes on my struts where the ones that are indented. Originally, it looks like there was a plastic sleeve in each of the holes to guide the bolt in though the bracket on the bed rail, but not sure if they had those same sleeves for the extension holes as well. The lower hole on your picture...

    I almost fell over when I saw this. I fitted the very same ladder on the back today. I will post a picture of it tomorrow.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    My struts only had one hole to pin them to length. It put them at the full extension for the top. My biggest issue was not having the center limiting strap. I went to HB and picked up a pair of the 1 inch by 12-foot cam straps and connected them into one big loop and did an approximate height...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I have been working on installing a troop seat kit and a cargo cover on the M1028. I am still waiting on some parts to finish up the last 2 seats and I still need to remove and paint the seat slats on a few of the seats. I installed the cargo cover hardware and got that on today. All things...

    Cargo cover frame restoration - Bow top strap dimensions?

    Looks great....where did you source your turn button fasteners. I need to replace mine and have yet to find any that have the single rivet like how they came. dreading drilling 2 holes each for all of the turn buttons.

    Best CUCV replacement dash pad

    Check LMC truck...I replaced all of my dash. The dash molding was around $35 and the "Delux" emblem was available there as well.

    Love it.....I bought one of those this year and it is so nice to have it back to turning the key instead of pushing a button. Nice work!

    M1009 Drivers side alternator

    I have the rare electric ones in my CUCV...the only thing different was the pulley size was a little smaller. Just means you may have to buy a shorter belt. I had enough space on the adjustment slot to install and use the original sized belts. So far very happy with them. Mounting bolt holes and...
