If you can't find one at the junkyard, you can cover it yourself with vinyl, using RTV Silicone or liquid nails. Mine didn't turn out perfect, but had I taken my time it could have been much straighter. (I was in a hurry).........but hey, no more cracked dash!

Welcome! Welcome to Steel Soldiers, TWrecks! Best wishes on your Bobber hunt, and post pics when you get one!

welcome! Welcome from Mississippi! Got pics of the CUCV's?

True, you shouldn't run your truck over 55 mph, but that is with its original gear setup. They weren't designed to go fast. The problem with over-revving your truck is the 4.56 factory gears. Seriously, if you want to run at hiway speed without worrying about damaging an otherwise dependable...

Just my $.02, seriously consider southdave's suggestion (post #6 above). For way less than you want to put in the engine swap, you could pay someone else to do all his suggestions, (or even just swap the gears), and save money, make your 6.2 last longer, and not have your CUCV on downtime for...

Welcome from Mississippi Welcome to Steel Soldiers! How bout some pics of your new CUCV? (after you get it, of course)

Wasn't this truck part of the government's early attempts at "going green"? The horse-drawn MV. Those aren't tie-downs in front, they're hitch-points for the mules. "Get the team ready Maw, we're on a recovery mission!"

You and your family and all the friends/loved ones of Lifer are in my Prayers. May the Peace and Comfort that only comes from God be with you all.

I would think that instead of a roll-in or spray-in bedliner in the bed of a deuce or 813,, you could use something like porch/deck paint after priming. It is probably tintable to any shade you can imagine. Would be a lot cheaper than the bedliner, and it's durable because it gets walked on all...

Looks great!

Remove your wiper arms, then you have four 5/16"-head screws holding the cowl down. I found it easier to remove the cowl once the screws were out, by closing the hood. Just place rags or towels over the hood to keep it from getting scratched. Then underneath you have a black screen that is held...

1986 and older are considered antique. 25 years. Not sure about the Commercial Liscense.

Welcome from Mississippi Welcome aboard! Thanks for the mechanical offer. I'm sure you'll get lotsa questions. If you get bored, there are already LOTS of questions in the forums that you may be able to answer. Idea: in the mornings, pack a couple sammiches to munch on while you're on Steel...

Have roller, will travel!! LOL Welcome to Steel Soldiers MV owner! I can roll you a cheap paint job just like my truck! Only kidding, I wouldn't offer to do that to anyone's ride! If you were closer you'd be welcome to use my shop and equip. (No, not my rollers, but my compressor):razz: IF you...

I still want your shop! The project is coming along nicely and rather quickly I see. Nice work! Thanks for keeping us updated with the photos.

The inverted "V"? For Allied Forces. Yep, it IS a Desert Storm era truck. I may do that temporarily. Thanks! Jimmy

Welcome from Mississippi Congratulations on your 1008 BA232, and welcome to Steel Soldiers! Yeah, post some pics asap!

I sure hate it for you and your Deuce, but was anyone wounded in this impact? Dang, what a lick! (I don't reckon that'll buff out, huh?)

That sounds like a plan. The camo I found today was black, brown (looked real close to the CARC brown), and OD green. The Olive Drab looked a tad dark but it sure looks better than what's on my truck! I may just get a gallon of each and draw out the pattern then paint all 3. Thanks for the...

Has the work begun on the project yet?? How bout some tear-down pics.......something! Sounds like it's gonna be a beast! Can't wait to see the project underway.
