This is interesting and reasonable. I live very close to this area but don't want any more big MVs. Perhaps another SS member might want to see what can be bought for $4K:

This is for the member in Florida wanting subject scoppe. I tried to ad a photo to the PM but I think the file size was greater than allowed and all I could send was text. I know I have an extra scoop in my garage - the one you see in this photo is the one I will provide if you are interested...
Years ago I bought a bunch of spare parts for an M37 that I once owned for a very short period of time - no title! I bought the parts separate from the truck so I decided to hang onto the parts when I sold the M37. I have no idea if their value so I would be happy to entertain offers at this...
I just came across some parts that I bought several years ago for an M37 that I once owned and wanted to find out if some of these parts are interchangeable with the military jeep. Along with the generator I have three voltage regulators too. I'll post photos of each. My plans are to...
I am not too familiar with contributing Technical Publications into the website so I will start here. I just received TB 9-2300-209-20 today which relates to installation of rifles in most military trucks from the3/4 ton M37 to the 10 ton M123A1C. I scanned at 125 dpi for all 10 pages and...
I want to install an inverter in my 86 M1008A1 and my 68 M35A2C but have heard that inverters can ruin alternators or the diodes inside of them. A truck driver told me horror stories of being out in the middle of nowhere and having his truck alternator shut down due to using an inverter while...
I bought a bunch of these off of a guy today who said they were used to pull electronic control modules out of the Abrams tank - I probably spelled that wrong too! I just thought they were neat looking but did I get taken to the cleaners on these things? I really don't have much in them at all...
I picked up a bunch of these today along with a lot of other military radio stuff but have no idea what these are for. I have an M1008A1 and an M35A2C and have never seen these used on either vehicle. Hopefully the photo will come out okay. I am trying to figure out just how to use them for...
Each day I look over the Ebay ads that pertain to the CUCV, M1008 & M1009 and found one that offers a three-page ad from a magazine that must have been from the very early 80's. Has anybody ever seen this particular ad and if so what periodical would it have been in? The starting bid is $9.00...
I want to buy new shutoff valves prior to installing the heater in my Deuce. Anybody know where to buy these?
I also have two items that need identification that you see next to the valves. They look like the might hold decon containers or fire extinguishers. I can only guess what they...

Here's the link to the ad. If the link does not get you there, go to the Space Coast Craig's List, Florida of course, and go into the cars and trucks categorie for today's listings. This guy has a lot of spare parts also. He is...
I was wondering if anybody had pictures on how to install the tie-downs in the bed of their M35? I bought six of these and they came with a template but I cannot figure out how they install without drilling through each corner of the tie-down then drilling through the sides of the truck once...
I am gatherig up some much needed parts for Ruppster up in Alaska and one of the items he really needs is a jack for his M1009. I took one from a 1989 K5 Blazer and the civilian versions of the M1009 store these under the hood on the driver's side wheel well by using a plastic retainer, a wing...
I am very sorry about that. If anybody knows how to transfer all of the stuff I just posted in the wrong place please do so for me. I just didn't go down far enough to find the M38 categorie. Once I make a mistake like this I generally do not repeat myself in the future. I'll add one more...
In 1968 I had just graduated from AF basic training at Amarillo AFB TX and got my first assignment to the 6550th USAF Hospital at Patrick AFB Florida. When I got back into town (Melbourne Florida was my home town in '68) I needed transportation and found a 1952 military jeep in our local paper...
I am negotiating with a local who has advertised a totally rebuilt Muncie Rock Crusher four speed transmission and transfer case that came out of a 1987 Chevy pickup - not a CUCV by the way. I went over to look at the item and have never seen such a setup. Pictures on several web sites indicate...
I just installed a used one-piece cargo cover on one of my M105A2 trailers and I cannot figure out how this cover is supposed to tie down in the front of the trailer. When I bought this tarp about a year ago I never imagined it being a one-piece unit. My other M105 cover is a newer version...
Someone in the local area is selling four H2 tires and rims and I was wondering if any modifications would have to be made to adapt them to my M1008? Here's the link to the ad which is on the Space Coast of Florida:

Thanks to Jason in St Cloud Florida, I now have a cargo cover on my CUCV. It took about five hours of constant work to bolt everything down and deploy the canvas but everything came out fine. Once the sun works on the canvas for a few hours the material will stretch a little and I will be able...
