    A2 --> cucv --> a3

    All the driver side tires are flat. These tires are all junk, I have a set of new 395s to put on it. I've moved it around abit with 4 flats, to get it out of where it is and into service. Other than dog-tracking funny, it doesn't seem to mind 8<)

    A2 --> cucv --> a3

    So, judging from the engine decal and the serial number, its a 1993 ? It has the one piece hood. Dash pic of it running, though it hasn't warmed up yet.

    M35A3 in the Sand

    When you published this thread, YOUNG GUN, I saw the pic of your A3 on the shore line and said to myself " I gotta get one of those." So I got one. It doesn't have a winch yet or 395's but thats in the plan, 395s first. Thanks for the inspiration 8<) I'll get pix tomorrow.

    So I had a 1966-ish M109 multifuel, got out of it and into a M1009 CUCV, now I'm getting out of the Blazer and into a '99 A3. I loooove the sound of that CAT purring 8<).

    Going to live in my deuce in Oklahoma....

    Its do-able. I lived in a Rambler station wagon for awhile, got work each day from Manpower. No heat or plumbing. No rent, parked different places all the time : church parking lot VFW, parking lot (hey, some of those have hookups you could use), airport long term parking (get up early and...

    Newbie Hunting for a M109

    Jack's Government Surplus, here in Tucson, has at least 30 of them. Thats where I got mine. He sells them with the End Use paperwork done, vehicle DOT inspected, and clean AZ title. Not cheap though, I paid $8500 for mine road ready w/ warranty. I told Jack that when I took delivery I was...

    replacing plastic fuel lines, where to buy?

    I used air lines. The standard hardware store type ferrules had to be modified on the back side with a dremel tool so they would seat far enough into the fitting. No problems, low cost.

    like a flower in the dump

    I got a kick out of this : another customer sees my truck at the mechanic's. All around is a sea of OD green and tan MVs in various states of restoration / repair. In the middle is my Blazer, bright red. : "Its like a flower at the dump" he says . I like it 8<)

    Blazer front axle seals replaced...oh my

    I'm glad I didn't do it myself....those seals are wayyyyy in there. Just about everything has to come apart to R&R them. Kind of a dumb design. And alot of dirt comes out of those tubes. But now one more leak is fixed and I am happier with the truck. Tranny fluid leak is next.

    $3500 M1008s??

    I probably have the most expensive 1009 ever : I bought an M109 shop van turn-key ready (well, if it had a key ) for $ 9500 + $4500 for the super single A3 wheels & tires, then after working it 2 years traded straight across for the 1009.

    Stupid Zone inspector

    Reminds me of the ol' guy looking to rent an apartment. A sign in front read "No vehicles over 1 ton" "Heck, my Cadillac weighs more than that" he sez.

    Recommend a good CB

    Its not intuitive, but if you get a radio + external amplifier then the radio shop will actually lower the radio output power so as not to overdrive the amplifier input. Its the secret to not getting that distorted gobbledygook sound at the listeners end.
