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

    Painted the interior portion and window seal region of the doors Behr 383 Green. Removed old driver side wing vent that I broke several weeks ago and installed new one from the local junk yard; still have to install the lock assembly in the window, but having a heck of a time getting the slip...

    M105A2 Hardtop

    I know this is an old thread, but any chance of getting a pic of the jack set up used to raise and lower the top and possibly the pin points in the corners?

    Finally got my m1009 repainted

    Looks great! Did you paint over the original door panels or are those replacements?

    Perhaps that is the answer, but for now that will have to wait.

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

    Installed new rear window rubber seals, removed old driver and passenger side window seals to paint those areas prior to installation of new seals, busted drivers side wing window while trying to open it, and modified my original lighting configuration to get my dash illumination and running...

    Running Lights Not Working

    Well, after spending countless hours on troubleshooting, I still never found any reason as to why they work when jumped directly from the hot wire but do not work when the light switch is installed. So to correct the problem, I jumped the hot wire from the Service Switch to a secondary toggle...

    Running Lights Not Working

    Yeah, definitely frustrating. As much as I wanted to, did not get a chance to troubleshoot anymore today. Hopefully have it fixed this weekend, and I'll look into the items you suggested.

    Running Lights Not Working

    All was fine until the other day...here's my issue: Noted Monday morning that my dash lights were out while driving to work and thus couldn't read my speed, etc. Wife was in her car behind me and called to inform me I had no tail lights but brake lights and rear turn signals work. It was...

    My Newly Aquired CUCV

    Picked up the rear seat mounts out of a junkyard 2003 Suburban so I could swap the old, rusty original seat with a more modern seat (which also has shoulder belts integrated into it). I believe the seat was a third row seat from a Tahoe, and it is nearly identical in width to the original. Got...

    CUCV as my daily vehicle? or bad idea?

    My M1009 is my daily driver now, even though it's still a work in progress.

    CUCV Stereo Install

    You could also get some custom kick panel speaker enclosures from that particular auction site, as they are a bit cheaper than the above listed site!

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

    UPS delivered the window sash parts today from LMC Truck along with the rest of the window seals. Sanded, primed and painted the inside of the tailgate and rear window seal areas, then installed the rear window. Hope to install the rear window seals by Sunday.

    My Crew Cab Deuce Build

    In this pic you can see what is original floor and new floor (new floor is really shiny!). Essentially just squared off the original sections that were left and welded in the new. Also note that I left some original floor between the door and first new section on both sides. Then I trimmed...

    My Crew Cab Deuce Build

    I welded a couple of pieces of angle iron (not shown in the pictures, sorry) from the underside where the sheet metal filler would be welded in to keep it from flexing and added a couple of spot welds. I had contemplated welding some square tubing into the holes of the original cross cab...
