    I dove right in after church and took the entire column apart and cleaned it. I also spent an hour scrubbing the steering wheel. I want it to look as OEM as possible and I installed the key sensor back in the column. I think the column looks great. I am not going to paint the column. I will be...

    I have done my research and by disassembling another CUCV steering column and studying the contacts in question on my current column I can affirm that it is a key in ignition sensor and would not have worked on a CUCV because it does not have door jam switches to complete the ground to active...

    Driver side alternator Bracket/spacers.

    Do you still have the engine lift bracket in place? It should be behind the driver's side alternator.

    Starter stud.

    That stud on the back of the starter to the support bracket runs thru the entire length of the starter. I can get you one of them from a scrap starter. I can even tell you where else to get one. www.leidyrepair.com

    1983 GM trucks still had the dimmer switch on the floor and the wipers switch on the cluster panel.

    I think that thing that I have on the towel is for the key in ignition buzzer. I never seen that on a CUCV. I am wondering if being this was built 8/83 as a first-year production M1009 if that was eliminated. Same as this having chrome wing vent handles on the front doors. I had it 25 years +...

    This is the piece that I am unknowing of. I still can’t get the lock cylinder out. No screw and I watched a dozen you tube videos. First CUCV I seen without a stew holding the lock cylinder in.

    I really struggled getting the snap ring off the lock plate. I am done for today. I may contact the rebuilder again or try and figure out how this little contact goes in place.

    Well rebuilding the column has become more of a challenge then I anticipated. The lock cylinder on this M1009 is not held in with a retaining bolt and I can’t get the lock cylinder out. I have a conundrum with a gadget that provides the ground for the horn. I was going to send this column out to...

    Let d begin by removing the horn pad. Next the 3 torx 20 screws holding the horn ground contact adapter in place. Then using a snap ring pliers remove the center safety lock. now I must go to the barn and get the steering wheel puller. Well puller set for anything. A few pictures for memory...

    The work bench in the basement has been cleaned and prepped for surgery. The Saginaw steering column is what I will be operating on. Just a go thru clean, and lube everything. First things first and then onto the procedure.

    I thought I would share these pictures of a HMMWV that rolled thru my gate to pick up some parts. It was painted with some HOT CARC as the under carriage had heavy rust from the paint stripping everything down to the bare metal. It may be someone’s here.

    Led lights

    That will work. My Kubota had a 2 prong flasher and I converted it to all LED and that is the type of flashers added to keep everything working as designed.

    It has been since November that I ran the M1028 I sat in it and turned the key waited and it fired right up. I am convinced that the late 1986 -1987 model trucks had a galvanized floor and rockers on them. This truck just seems to stay the way it was for the past 20 years. It sits outside in...

    It was a joke. I wouldn't waste my time or money to modify a CUCV in such a foolish way. I wouldn't do it to any vehicle. I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them Sam I am.
