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: http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/pts/540566007.html

More photos of the M1008A1 My truck is far from being restored! I drive this thing every day and wanted it to be functional and as close to stock military appearance as possible. When I bought the truck from a guy in Carmel New York, none of the antennas or mounts were on it so I ordered four...

Thanks a million for the information! Nothing like new replacement parts and knowing where to find them. Everything came together when I got in touch with weldergonecrazy in St Cloud who had the necessary top bows for my truck. This website is a real goldmine for people who want to keep their...

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...

Your trailer looks great Cliff! You did real good on the price too! You saw the two I have and neither one comes close to the condition of the one you bought. Yours also has the newer landing gear in the front which is much better than the one big wheel on the old style 105's...

General Developement Corporation is what I think of when I hear Port St Lucie, Port Charlotte, Port Malabar, etc. My mom used to sell lots in these areas back in the 60's! Anyway, you are about an hour and a half from my location in West Melbourne. I will be working on some of my brake...

bbf, where in Florida are you located?

Sermis, Thank you very much for the info! I have a lot of maintenance to do on my Deuce right now and some brake problems that I must troubleshoot that have nothing to do with the shoe adjustment. I just saw the post about the adjustment and thought I would ask about the procedure while it...

I probably need to check my brake shoe clearances but have never done this yet. Isn't there an inspection cover of some sort on each drum where you would insert the feeler guage?

I really enjoyed your story about retrieval of the CUCV! You really got a beautiful vehicle that should last a lifetime. The next MV that I want to acquire will be an M1009. I have five K5 Blazers in my back yard and most of the parts interchange with the CUCV so I am set for spare parts. I...

Just the manual glow plug relay switch using a lawn mower starter relay and a starter solenoid disrupter switch to prevent future problem with my under-dash starter relay. I also added a solargizer to the hood of my truck to keep the batteries in top condition. Like I mentioned, most of the...

Nice looking CUCV! Mine is also an 86 but I bought it from a guy in Carmel New York and drove it home to West Melbourne FL with no problems at all. I still have to install the top bows and cargo cover and mine will be complete. Most recently, GL contacted me about filling out another EUC for...

RE: Re: RE: Cargo cover and seat recovering There's nothing quite like the smell of brand new canvas too! I had a new cargo cover in one of my closets for over a year before finally installing it and the whole room smelled just like the cover weeks after it was gone! This is really the very...

RE: Re: RE: Cargo cover and seat recovering And the worst part about it is that yuu still have to pay for shipping! I guess if you had an M35 without any of the cargo cover parts this would be the way to go......

RE: Re: RE: Cargo cover and seat recovering http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=M35A2+Military+complete+canvas+cargo+top&category0= Cliff, if this link does not work just go into Ebay and link to item #230207729192 - it's the complete kit! I paid well over...

I just received my replacement O-ring along with a new boot that covers the piston rod from Arthur Bloom by UPS this afternoon. Before installing the new parts I wanted to take photos to share with other members to show the availability of replacement parts for the Air-O-Matic system. Once I...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: M1008/1028 optimal tire sizes to Thanks for the info! I'll start looing for a shop to have the work done. Probably the most reasonable way to get an overdrive for my CUCV. I have heard that some of the earlier 700R4s were not too good - plastic parts, etc. I...

RE: Re: RE: M35 in the USF Homecoming Parade KENNY!!!! You are right! When my son was attending there I often wondered why they used south Florida and not west Florida!

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: M1008/1028 optimal tire sizes to I have on 1989 that has been rebuilt and shifts very tight and another rebuilt one in an 87 which now has no body on it. My 1983 K5 has a very weak 700R4 that needs an overhaul but still shifts into every gear and I have another 1989...
