There are 2 types of seat brackets. The multi piece ones and the single pedestal type. I prefer the single pedestal type but always seem to need and have the multi piece ones. They are getting hard to find parts for. I currently have no seat parts I wish to part with till I get my last 2 M1009’s...
I have put several oil pressure gauges on CUCV’s. I just T fitted the sending unit with brass fittings and used mechanical brass and plastic capillary’s to run to the gauge and this way it is short and high and tight out of harms way. I think the capillary is about 2 ft long and a straight shot...

Sezzo I think that this is the answer we were looking for. Let me know how to proceed.
I am back up in northern Pennsylvania working on my rock crusher. I took a break from work to travel a bit. First trip I left and stayed over night since I lost my Wife. Going well I will get some pictures. I met some new friends along the road. Fed them some grass and pretzels. They were very...
Today I want to talk about the Pivot Rivet for GM wing vent windows. Yes it is a real thing and I bought a box of 50 of them from Walmart.com they are made by an old OEM fastener and trim company that has been around for years and has all the cool stuff that is hard to find. Nice little piece...
But it is only for the patient and brave. If I was being paid to do it, I would walk away. Maybe I can get good at it and provide a CUCV wing vent overhaul service.
This picture shows window frame with the new rubbers installed before the vent glass is attached.
This is the completed right wing vent assembly ready to install. This last picture shows my OEM left wing Vent with the chrome handle and the chrome outer button on the glass. I had to buff down a...
Anyone that is not patient and persistent should not involve themselves in over hailing the wing vents. These are the 2-piece design and let me tell you they put me thru 3-4 hours to do the passenger's side only. I feel I learned a little but not much. I must do the driver's side but sure am not...
I was looking at my own post and seen I did not post the picture of the new turn signal switch.
Everything is nice clean and new. Happy. Started on my wing vents. Painted and drying at the moment. Take Care.
Today after work it was not a very nice day outside so I completed the steering column in the basement of my home. I bought a tube of white lithium grease and cleaned and lubed every moving part. I installed a new turn signal switch because I had several and thought may as well change it, I...
After church I went to the basement and looked at my steering column rebuild project. I was dragging behind looking for parts and I finally have them Al together. I was looking hard for the OEM parts I knew I had. I am finding many things I forgot I had. I have everything clean and now want to...
Don’t they have pipe bending shops in Europe? I live out in the sticks and we can get mandrill bent exhaust pipes made for any vehicle. Good Luck. My Son made single exhaust on his CUCV. It sounded good and was half the cost. They were all parts made at an exhaust shop,
I must be a Magician because I used standard fuel line on several units and just ran it a bit longer and covered it with split loom. I wire tied it fast and it worked for years. Yes if you make the tight bent it is going to kink. But the fuel don’t care if it has to travel a bit further. While...
