Also the air vents on the kick panel will be disabled and it will still catch air from the bottom of the cab cowl. I would say replacing the heater box flapper door seals is the best bet. Have a Great Day.

That's the dust from about 20 CUCV's being painted and a lot of wood sanding that took place in the barn. I plan on washing it and covering it. It would be nicer when it was completed and rehomed. That is the goal.

From an M1009. Yes I do. Next question. How fast do you need it?

Yes it can be done. I just sold one to Drock and he put it on his M1008.

That will rust your rockers and front cab panels. That is part of the was and dry rocker panel design. But do as you wish.

Been a while since I started my hidden treasure. It is a 1984 M1009 with 12,674 miles on it. Been under cover stashed for 20 years. I cleaned it really well and removed everything so it did not sit with dirt and critters living in it. I have it since about 1996 I think. If I had it to over again...

As I was cleaning up to move out some parts and vehicles I found the front axle backing plates that I mislaid a few weeks back. These are for one of my current builds. I strapped them on the scooter and ran them up the road to the sand blaster. They will look good sprayed gold and black like...

The foam sealers/gaskets on the flapper door are gone. I would suggest getting the heater box out and replacing the seals/foam/gasket with something that will seal the heater core. Another way is to put a water valve in the heater hose feeding the heater. Seal off the hot water that is going to...

Where are the pictures of Easter Find in the parade? Not sure why this one never upgraded. It shows 6/29/2018 as the last post/reply. Have a Great July 4th. Remember the true meaning.

New GM ignition cyldylinder with accessory position for radio install( last week). The lock cylinder does not make you have accessory position. That is something built into the switch mounted under the dash on the steering column. Just want to double check that. Make sure we are all on the same...

Sounds like the relay on the firewall under the hood is bad. I have taken these apart after it was suspect to the problem ( it was the problem). Replaced it with a heavy duty solenoid and moved on. I hope that helps resolve the issue. I never refer to any TM's. I just solve the issue by a...

After today I an CUCV less. That is drivable CUCV. And in this heat I am OK with that. I used the Crown of Thorns M1009 to clean out a garage today and had a load of aluminum and vinyl framed storm windows and doors. I backed it out to the road with a sign attached free scrap aluminum. Please...

Hey. Where are the pictures of Easter Find M1008? I wanted to see your upgrades.

Shame. I have 4 M1010 complete bodies in my yard for those that want to make CUCV campers. I 81 exit 90 Pennsylvania. Complete as in completely enclosed. Still saved the next owner a lot of work.

Glow plugs not working properly. Of course dead batteries, bad starter, fuel issues. The list goes on and on. If he bought it in the 80's he must have connections. Good Luck. That is a tough guess at best.

Everything is cleaned up and ready to go get rebuilt, resealed. The trick is Dawn dish soap and the pressure washer along with a stainless steel brush and a scotch bright. Takes determination and patience as well. When I get it back I will paint it with dull aluminum Krylon and it will look...

My jobs for the day were various and vast. Cook Bacon at 0800. Do a wrecker call for a 3 car accident, Mow grass till 12 noon and then start the smoker cooker up for a couple racks of ribs. While they are cooking I am going to clean the transmission from the truck to get it ready before it gets...

The rear axle is all ready to go. The front axle is ready to go get the seals changed. I used a half moon piece of tin nailed to a stick to clean the dirt from the axles. That and a shop vacuum work well.That is a very poor design. They should have seals out at the ends of the axle tubes just...

Submitted for review. Enjoy your day.
