Photos of the rims Here you go! These are 8" wide at their widest point from the edge of the rim to the other edge. The tire bead that you see is from some bald tires that used to be on the rim - I had to "chew" the tire off of the rims so that the trash people would pick them up (also had to...

Going out to take photos right now I just happen to have a set of M1008 brake drums that I can use to demonstrate the rims with. It will take a few minutes and I'll get back with you. Al Broadbent

8 Lug rims I have some 8-Lug rims that came off of a school bus that may work for your application. When I bought my CUCV from a guy in Carmel New York, he threw them in with the deal. I see you live in Florida - I live in West Melbourne Florida which is right by I-95. If you are interested...

I would be very interested in one if they fit an M1008! My guess is that you have covers that were made for the Dodge truck. I have heard they are the same but would have to see photos and get some measurements before I would commit to buying one! My cargo cover has bad zippers and some...

M1009 cargo cover on Ebay right now http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CUCV-TRUCK-TARP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42611QQihZ007QQitemZ170237783013QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWQQtcZphoto

Antennas on my M1008A1 Just found the photo of my truck with the antennas tied down. Hope this helps even though your truck is the M1009.

Antenna Tie Downs The photos show the antenna tie-downs that you can purchase on Ebay relatively cheap. The way I installed my hold-downs may not be suitable for everybody but it does work well for me. I don't have my antennas on the truck right now because my M1008 is my daily drive and the...

Tightening antenna mounts I have four of those mounts on my M1008A1 and didn't torque any of them to a specific amount. The important thing about the mounting nuts is not to tighten them too much or they will start to turn round and round requiring vice grips to remove the bolts once this...

I knew it! I don't know where I got the extra 1/4" but you are definitely in the right ball park now. I always measure my driveshafts at their longest point because it is easier to hook one end of the tape measure on the end of the shaft and then pull it out to the other end. If you are under...

RE: Driveshaft Length I'll check it out! I guess there's a tag on the thing somewhere to indicate the variety.

RE: Driveshaft Length Thanks for the info about the transfer cases. I have one 205 transfer case sitting in an old 79 K5 in my back yard which is supposed to be pretty popular with the off-road and mud truck crowd. I think they used the 208 case in a lot of the full-size Blazers because I...

Driveshaft Length Actually I have two (2) driveshafts, both 56" at their longest length from the end of the U-Joint cap holder to the other end of the U-joint cap holder. I just crawled under my M1008A1 and that's what is in the truck for sure. The transfer case is made of aluminum so I guess...

RE: Thinking about making an M1009 clone out of one of my K5 Yes they are except for the posi units in the back and front.

I have been wanting an M1009 for some time now after passing up several of them at our local DRMO yard. I was cutting the lawn today and suddenly realized that I have pretty near everything to put together a nice M1009 out of parts and vehicles that I already have! I would not have the same...

Welcome to the site Matt! Well Matt, the Deuce is a great military vehicle to own and operate but it comes with much responsibility. I hope you are a conditioned mechanic because the maintenance on one of these is prety demanding depending on the miles you put on the truck and the miles it had...

Looks like GL people used a fork lift to move the truck around judging by the marks on the driveshaft. I have always wondered what a driveshaft would look like once it was subjected to the fork lift method of relocation. Am I right or is it just the way the photo came out?

RE: Trailer Plug You should be able to make one for a 7 Pin application with no problem. You just need to have a meter and go through the trouble of seeing what each pin does as you turn the lights on and move the turn signal arm around, etc. I imagine if you wanted to use a trailer with...

Trailer Plug This is the best way to "cheat" - first you need an old trailer cord from a military trailer. I had one that had insulation problems with the wiring inside of the cable so I used the plug to make a cheater for my civilian trailers. After tracing the correct pins from the plug...

Good luck on your trip!

Rear Driveshaft Measurement If you will be taking a 54 1/4" driveshaft with you, measured from the center of the U-joint to the center of the U-joint or 56" at the longest point end to end you should be okay. I took both measurements to be sure that one of them would provide the accuracy you...
