I don't know who won it, but someone got a M1010 with 73 miles on it. They paid $12,300 Out of California. Ok, by the time they pay the GL 10% fee and the taxes, it will be around $14k. But dang man, SOMEONE GOT A 1984 BRAND NEW M1010. For $14K!!! Take a look at the auction. Check out the...

Well, all of a sudden, I don't have lights - head light, tail light, brake lights, running lights, and turn signals - plus no horn. Heater works. Windsheild wiper works. Go figure. All fuses appear ok. I'll be replacing them all shortly. But I ASSUME it's either the light switch on the...

Well, I've been working on several projects for my M1009. The first one was to get a new (yes NEW) dashpad from GM. DONE. Second one was to paint said new dashpad the correct color. DONE. Second part duex was to ALSO PAINT the side panels. DONE. Cut, weld and clean up my SECOND spare...

Finally had some free time. So I decided I would do the under hood insulation today. Popped the hood and started. An hour later (I took a couple of breaks) I was done. I did take pix. The process went like this. I added FATMAT to all the spots on the hood that had bare metal showing, ie in...

Ok, I posted this seat cover sold by Smittybilt a few weeks back. 4 Wheel Drive parts held their Truckfest here in Denver this weekend. I had talked to a gent whose name is Matt Westhoff and he told me to come out and I could have him try the fit on my truck before I spent the money. AND they...

I finally got my M1028a3 home. It was a four day drive. The first day was short. The next three were long. From Sctanton, PA to Denver, CO. But I made it home with nothing the worse for wear. I WILL post a full account later. And here's four pix.

Well, I finally got enough time and motivation to fab up this particular mod I've had rumbling around in my head for over a year. Unfortunately, I don't remember how much I paid for the two pieces of welding steel. I think something like $20 at LOWES. The first is a 24 x 24 piece of 22 gauge...

After having all sorts of electrical problems that have finally been resolved, I started looking for the light for the NP208 shifter. I can't find the light or any wiring. But given how screwed up the rest of the wiring appeared to be I thought I would ask. My M1031 did not have a light...

I won a wiring harness for an M1009 on Ebay last week. With that in mind, I have been having all sorts of electrical problems. There was one hot wire that appeared to go from the battery to the light switch (more on that in a minute). And another hot wire connected to the connection on the...

OK, I've got four M1009 seat backs for the front and one seat back for the rear seat. They are brown, not red. I guess the green rug brought out the red in the pix. $25 each, plus s&h. My zip is 80231. Here's a pix of what I have. Just trying to 'clean things out' a little bit and thought...

OK, I'm considering gear ratio's. First question is this. What is the gear ratio for the NP205 (low gear ratio). Is it 1.96:1 or is it the 3.00:1? Second question is this. All things being equal, in an M1028a3 (or the M1031), what would net me the best overall setup for running gears? The...

OK, this one is not my idea. I must give cudos to the folks at Classic Mustangs here in Denver. They also sell M1009's, M1008's and M35's as well. So a tip of the hat to them for this cheat. I loved it. So I did it to mine. Hope you folks like this one. Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles...

In preparation for particpating in a parade tomorrow, I disconnected both batteries and put them both on the battery charger for about an hour each. I always remove BOTH cables from BOTH batteries before I ever start to charge either battery. Especially since I've put my M1009 BACK to 24...

I placed an order with OD Iron for two alternators for my M1009. In a day or less he boxed them up and shipped them out via UPS. That was a week before the FL rally that OD Iron hosted. I did not know that OD Iron hosted the event, but I did know Mike had gone to the rally. ANYWAY, the...

I've been reading CUCV Alternator threads for the past two days. I've found after reading all of this, I am somewhat confused. First is this from Wiki CUCV: Dual 100 amp alternators wired in series to make the 24V. Very strong charging system that will handle any load you can toss at it...

I won three auctions of military med chests and other kinds of misc chests in Salt Lake City. I picked it up in the middle of November. So I borrowed Randy L Barnes deuce and hit the road. I THOUGHT it would all fit, but that's another story for another day. Anyway, as we were rolling along...

Well, money has been exchanged and I will be going to get my new to me truck and trailer in the next couple of weeks. Rdixiemiller, I wil call you shortly after I get arrangements made out to Ga. Thought I would post one pix.

I've been prepping for a parade on Saturday, Sept 9. Last minute prep was to reinstall the windshield wiper motor for the drivers side. I finally got it to function after disassembling it twice. The second time I used a silicon lube that the air piston inside the motor seemed to like. When I...
