    cargo cover use question

    I like your color scheme! Probably the most unusual paint theme of any CUCV on Steel Soldiers! Looks like you use it to haul passengers and it does remind me a little bit of my time in the Philippines. Over there they take Jeeps and convert them into microbuses and that is the most widely...

    cargo cover use question

    Cat roost I have to look all around both of my trucks before moving them because I don't want to run over a cat! They all like to sleep on and around the trucks for some reason. I am pretty happy with the present cargo cover except for a few pinholes here and there that are in the most...

    1984 CUCV - Finally Finnished

    Hardware and placement of the jack for the CUCV I just scanned a page from my 1984 - 1987 CUCV Parts and Illustration Catolog which shows where each jack is placed from the factory. The images of each part are so small that I cannot really tell what they look like full size. I am sure that...

    1984 CUCV - Finally Finnished

    CUCV manuals You know, I have about every manual there is for the CUCV and I really did not think about that for some reason. I even have that parts interchange book that brings a bunch of money on Ebay thanks to Kenny - I did some trading with him for the C turbo and the book and I gave him...

    1984 CUCV - Finally Finnished

    That's beautiful! Your CUCV is superb looking in every way! If you ever want to trade it for a 1968 M35A2C W/W, power steering, canvas cargo cover & hardtop let me know! I would love to have an M1009 to compliment my M1008A1. Getting up in years and the Deuce it a bit much for me these...

    cargo cover use question

    Original M1008 Cargo Cover My truck has the original cargo cover on it right now. When I bought my truck it did not come with the bows, cover or other hardware necessary to install a cargo cover. I was fortunate to obtain the entire setup from another SS member within driving range of my...

    A few deuce questions before purchase

    Thinking about selling my M35A2C When I bought my deuce I was fortunate enough to have bought it from a guy who lived five miles from my house here in West Melbourne Florida; at that point I paid $7500.00 for the truck which is a 1968 M35A2C with winch & hardtop. All of the tires were worn to...

    Air Scoop for the cab heater Blower Motor

    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...

    Deuce parts LOOK!!!!

    My passenger side glad hand supply port is missing. Would you happen to have one on either of the two trucks? I am trying to utilize my M105 trailer and cannot hook the passenger side air hose up because some clown removed it to hook up an air tool outlet! abroadbent@bellsouth.net

    Not sure where to post this

    I would like a pair of them also. They fit several types of vehicles from what I understand. Please let me know what you want for a set of two. Thanks! Al Broadbent abroadbent@bellsouth.net

    Are M38A1 and M37 double-pulley generators the same?

    RE: M38A1 generators Thanks Fred, definitely wanting another M38! I still have the tech manual for the M-38 that I got when I worked at Patrick AFB back in the mid-70's; went over to Forms & Publications and acquired it myself while working at Patrick AFB Hospital. Testing these parts will be...

    Are M38A1 and M37 double-pulley generators the same?

    For the size and weight of these things you would think they would put out over 100 amps! I got very little information about the parts that I bought separate from the M-37 except that the former owner started accumulating parts to keep his truck on the road - then the divorce took place and I...

    Are M38A1 and M37 double-pulley generators the same?

    Thanks for the replies! I did have a 1952 M38 military jeep during the 70's - bought it for $500.00 back then and it even had the arctic hardtop with it too! I pulled all of the military drivetrain stuff out and installed a Ford 289 in place of the 4-banger plus converted everything to 12...

    sweet m1009

    I have a son over in Lutz living off of Hutchinson. I would love to see this truck in person sometime! Eventually I want to get an M1009 - just have an M1008A1 and a Deuce for the time being. I have a bunch of civilian K5s in the back yard and I am trying to figure out what to keep towards my...

    sweet m1009

    That's beautiful! Where are you located in Florida? Probably one of the best looking M1009s on SS!

    I just found some old M37 parts in my garage today

    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...

    Are M38A1 and M37 double-pulley generators the same?

    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...

    my cucv

    If the resistor is bad you can go to any good electronics store and pick up a 300 ohm ceramic resistor that will be capable of handling a significant amount of amperage and install it right over the flat white one. You can check your gauge with a 12 volt source by applying voltage across the...

    my cucv

    Nice truck! I have an M1008A1 also. You can paint your dash cover with some spray cans of vinyl paint available at most hardware stores - burgundy is the color I used on mine and it came out looking like new. I would not worry about the tailgate unless you are planning to enter a competition...
