    Idea for a winch mod

    Tiny Tach is in!

    I don't mean to knock this tach but I would rather mod the vacuum pump shaft and run a mechanical tach. Has no one in the past thought of this ? I run a Vertex Mag with a shaft drive tach on my M1028 that's where the thought came from. And then there is always the tach stud on the back of...

    I want to do this with my gauges...

    I did this in a old 78 GMC that looked just about identical to the M1008 gauge cluster. Sorry I didn't have a camera at that time so no pics and I ended up selling the cluster on eBay as it had a tach, which was a rare option in that year model. I used the thin sheet metal overlay that covers...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately? - Part 1

    Replaced all of the glass and rubber parts on the M1008 and installed a speedo driven gear on the M1028,s NP205 TC. The only trouble I had was making the speedo cable hook up to it as I have a feeling its in a different spot than the one that goes into the M1008,s NP208 TC. Anyone know if...

    Engine mounts needed m1028!!!!

    My Civy and M1008 frame brackets were a little different. IE the M1008 model that I removed had some extra gusseting that the civy 454 frame bracket did not have. There was a slight difference in what the engine height was after the swap. About 1 inch or so higher with the 454 frame...
