Most of the GM part numbers listed in the CUCV TM's are long obsolete or superseded to new part numbers that are also obsolete. When it comes to bolts and any fasteners you can go to a salvage yard if you need Genuine GM. Or dig thru a stash of used bolts. Hardware stores will yield you the...
I have them brand new. They are the same M10 x 1.5 metric stud/bolt that are on the intake manifold. Send me your address and I will send you one. Or remove one from the intake manifold and replace it with an M10 X 1.5 bolt of the appropriate length. Good Luck. Let me know. To be honest. I...
What side do you need? And the horn button. I would have that used. Show me or tell me what you want. I have a few parts. I will be happy to help you even if I don't sell you the parts. Give a PM. Take Care. I am the helper not the villain...
There is nothing special about a CUCV M1009 exhaust/muffler. You can get the exhaust repaired or replaced at any competent exhaust shop. You can buy the exhaust at any auto parts store. Regardless of the year use 1984 K5 Blazer with 6.2 dual exhaust as the application. So I follow. What is...
I don't always work on CUCV's. But when I don't I try and work on interesting stuff. My current project I will touch on lightly. I don't want to offend anyone. 2010 Ford CVPI ex New Stanford CT PD supervisor car. Its got a cop motor in it a 4.6 liter plant, Cop shocks, cop tires, cop suspension...
Update. I cut the wiper plugs from a donor CUCV wiring harness and replaced the big plug going into the wiper motor on the M1009 plow truck. That was the winning combination. Not sure what was shorted in the molded plug but it was the problem. I replaced the wiper motor again this year and could...
Funny thing. A guy at work said he had a distributer for a Dodge V 8 Army engine distributer (his words) that only had the 1 coil wire. He mentioned it several times over the past 3 months. He said it was for a military sealed waterproof ignition system. He called it a magneto and said the...
HA HA. I see others have fought the wiper switch issue and decided to not attempt the change. This is like a bad apple. Now the plow M1009 at work has wiper issues. I see things happening in series and droves on these trucks. Maybe the wiper switches have reached the maximum life expectancy. On...
https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/6-2-diesel-correct-operating-temp.106003/ You are at the maximum range. I would look into getting the radiator and thermostat cleaned and changed out. Good Luck.
Not even sure where to send you. Have Fun with that. Good Luck. You are taking a valuable vehicle and basically making it worthless. Snip , Snip, And Zip tie. All Good.
After work today I wanted to get the washer hoses on and get the washer hose hold downs in place. Ignore the air cleaner housing. I must do some work to that. It is the original housing and was out in the wreckage for the 10 year wait. One piece at a time gets the job done. I take my time and do...

I was looking for other M1009 rear gate parts and came across this site. Looks like a great deal for people that need window guides for the rear gate.
I found this useful. I started a Kubota L35 back hoe that sat for 12 years in the field at a local farm. Bad starter was the reason it was abandoned. Runs great again after some TLC. needed an alternator also and broke a few hydraulic lines since the resurrection. But I think all is well as long...
First thing is check all the fluids. Antifreeze becomes very acidic sitting around that long. I would check all fluids. Make sure all the battery cables are clean and attached to a starter. After that I would get 2 group 31 batteries. I have a source to borrow them. It will more than likely...
I see lots or opportunity for cleaning and painting on that CUCV M1010. I would start by getting the battery boxes attached properly and the correct batteries. Them ratchet straps still have all the weight riding on the inner fenders. Tring to help you out and I see the inner fenders and battery...
