I work for the VA and it still took a long time for it to clear. But now I have the truck home and enjoying it.

Don't forget to disconnect the rear driveshaft and tie it up to the frame so you won't leak any fluid out of the trans. Drove mine around yesterday. Nothing like a noisy diesel to piss off the neighbors. My 13 month old son likes it too!

RE: I If it was manufactered in late 68 then it is a 69.

Your truck looks like it used to be a Air Force truck that was used on the flight line. I might have been used to clear the runways of stray animals. I used to do that when I was in the Navy at Miramar.

Put it this way-I won my truck on 2/20 and the EUC wasn't approved and collected to the 6th of May!

RE: Re: M1009 jumpstarting I used a battery charger on one battery and a C4500 top kick on the other battery. Now it fires up anytime I start it up.

You can send someone with the authorization form that you get when you get your invoice.

My kid is only 13 months old and he sees me go to the backyard and just wants to stand on the seat and play with the steering wheel. He almost put the truck in gear last night. He is a crazy little dude. My avatar is him. But at least I can say that he is just like his Old Man and his...

Six miles-Call a flat bed. I very fortunate that I have a brother in alw with a tow truck and he brought mine home from Barstow.

Congrats on the win. My truck has the canopy bows also. I picked mine up last wednesday and it is a runner. Everything works, the lights and the engine fired up like nothing! I also found out that my truck was a California National Guard truck. So it really wasn't beat up!

Thanks medlog.

Alright. Because I am going to need some fuel. It came with a half a tank but since I've been charging it and running the truck for the batteries and starting it and checking it out, it is time for some fuel.

So I need to use an additive when I fill up. Do they sell it at any auto parts stores? Where can I get it other than that CK5er?

Nice looking MOTOR POOL there. I bet you are the envy of many collectors at all the shows you guys go to! Also, Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the information. I didn't want to mess things up with my CUCV.

I have noticed that some people use waste oil from an oil change or ATF and other mixtures. Can this be done in a CUCV as well as those other MV's?

:ditto:

Welcome to the site. I have a single cab M1008. That does look like a military truck that was ex Air Force.

The truck that I just brought home had other numbers from other lot numbers like it had been sold before or they tagged it wrong. Who cares though, my truck is the one in the picture that was advertised.
