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

    You will need a pulse wiper motor as well. I did this mod on mine last year. Had a parts truck 87 crew cab and swapped motors and the pump inside the washer jug, also swapped to the washers on the wiper arms at the same time...see my swap pics here: http://48cj2a.com/cucv.htm Here's my whole...

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

    Pulled the 2" receiver hitch from a donor Blazer I bought last fall but will need to modify in order to keep the pintle hitch. Made a template out of card board and traced onto the receiver brackets. Notched the bracket with a cut off wheel and trial fit for clearance. Spent the remainder of...

    Busted another NP208

    Diff covers should be pretty easy to find - its just a 14 bolt GM Corporate axle found on 3/4 ton and 1 ton GM trucks, vans 2wd and 4wd had them from the 73 thru the late 80s minimum. Hillbilly Wizard on here probably has them cheap if you don't want to seach the yard.

    Second row seating mod

    Civy rear seat is the same. I know of people that have added a second back row in the suburbans that did not have the 3rd seat option so should be no different than just relocating the the mounts further back but make sure you reinforce the floor area underside for safety so you don't rip the...

    factory tach install will it work?

    If you do not use the cluster housing and all the mounting tabs for the scews are all good I may be interested in the housing. The one I bought is broken.

    Sticky for Gauge Install

    dstang97 - I grew up driving GM trucks and always liked the factory gauge clusters from the early years up to present. For no more than what it would have added to the initial cost I think they should have been there stock in the CUCVs just like all the other Mil trucks like the M35s and...

    Will a 1008/1028 tailgate fit my M1009?

    Yes the pickup tail gates fit and the mounting locations are already there for the hinge pivot mounts. You just need all the pick up hardware.

    factory tach install will it work?

    One thing to note on the Big Truck style Tach that I posted the pic of...you loose the warning/info lamps in the window at the base of the fuel gauge for the (left) Seat Belt Indicator Light and (right) Brake Warning System Light because the little fuel gauge now takes up that space. (not that...

    factory tach install will it work?

    The Factory GM Tachs have their own harness and do not use the printed circuit overlay on the back. The Tach Cluster housing is also different and does not have the provisions for the fuel gauge prongs that snap in the cluster and tap into the overlay. I think you would have to cut the housing...

    Sticky for Gauge Install

    I had purchased a donor truck for a replacement 6.2 Jcode engine. The truck had the factory gauges so I swapped the cab harnesses and meticulously traced the wiring to put the blackout circuit back in the civy harness. I lined the inner cluster with 3m aluminum tape and upgraded to red LED...
