    might be selling 1008

    RE: Re: might be selling 1008 Good Luck selling your truck Weldergonecrazy! I saw the ad on Ebay today but have not checked to see if any bids came in. You might also try listing it on Craig's List because it gets pretty good circulation - people from all over the U.S. read ads from different...

    Voltmeter is not working (at all - never moves)

    Here is how to fix a broken volt meter in a CUCV This works! I just bought a spare meter for my M1008A1 from and Ebay seller for $5.00 and spent $0.50 cents on a 300 ohm ceramic resistor at a local electronics store to facilitate repairs. It is very rare to find a voltmeter in a CUCV that is...

    Old tire disposal

    The easy way to dispose of your old 9:00x20s is to first, cut out the bead with a sabre saw or reciprocating saw; when you complete that step you will have the only steel in the tire and a 20 inch O-Ring so to speak. Second, you take a reciprocating saw with one of those long metal-cutting...

    Cargo Bed Tie-down Hardware Installation

    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...

    Dare I ask this?

    I have the problem of my Gen 1 light showing faint illumination after the truck is running - it never did this before I had that problem with the starter solenoid in the dashboard. I had to replace the fuseable link for the #1 alternator and I just wonder if the shorted link might have weakened...

    Is this the correct jack for an M1009?

    Thanks for the info! Ruppster mentioned looking under the passenger seat but said he couldn't see where the jack mounted for some reason. I guess he is missing the hardware that keeps the jack in place - which I do not have. If he just needs a jack and the crank handle, this will do the...

    Is this the correct jack for an M1009?

    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 wish I had it back!

    RE: Here Thanks Ruppster! I am still working on your want list. I took the jack out of the 89 K5 Blazer but don't know if it is the correct jack for the M1009 - but it does have that crank that folds in the middle. Let me know if you want a photo of it and the other parts before I start...

    OOPS! I posted M38 stuff on the MB and GPW area....sorry!

    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...

    Here's the right photo - sorry about that! I guess I am getting old and make these kind of mistakes because of that! The lady in the previous post is Faye and this photo was taken years ago when we first started dating; we are still together 15 years later. She likes ice cream a whole lot...

    I wish I had it back!

    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...

    4 Speed Manual tranny and transfer case on Craig's List

    RE: Pictures of the tranny in the 79 K5 Thanks guys! I'll soon be dismantling this K5 to get to the good stuff! Long range plans would include a Gear Vendors overdrive unit behind the NP205. Now all I need is a good M1009! I think I'll leave the M1008 the way it is for now. I appreciate...

    4 Speed Manual tranny and transfer case on Craig's List

    Pictures of the tranny in the 79 K5 My car coral is really overgrown and I had a difficult time getting under the Blazer to get photos of the transmission. First of all, it is cast iron and not aluminum so I think this is good. I have no idea as to whether the present bell housing will bolt...
