I can thank Mr electric heater for my comfort and ability to make progress. I just hope the electric meter stays attached to the house as the meter is spinning out of control. I am always happy with the CUCV stance after replacing all 4 leaf springs with stock height springs. After 40 years...

I think I will call it a day. I made great progress. I still have the Wild Weasel wintering over here. I need to pressure wash and paint the rear frame section before I install the new lift springs. I don”t see that happening till spring. Take Care and have a Happy New Year. If weather permits I...

Sezzo I tried painting Bremsfreigabe but my hand was shaking too much.

Abracadabra. No smoking mirrors. Just good old thinking and trying things.

Experimental only. Judge not , and you will not be judged.

This M1009 is a 1984 model built 08/1983 the cables that ran to the rear radio were run on top of the floor. This hole is 1 1/4” I used a standard hardware store steel plug and painted it to fill the void. I was going to weld it shut early on but wanted to retain the stock hole. I hope you are...

B pillar plugs. Hardware store the ones that were in there turned to chalk dust. The left panel was tight I had to hammer it in. I think that will get thru QA. Quality assurance. Later.

Rough day I wire brushed my nuts , washed and painted them. Lunch time.

28 MT gear reduction starter. 28 MT support bracket. 24 MT support bracket ONly picture I could find of the OEM direct drive starter; I hope that helps. If not ask again. Happy New Year.

Honorable mention. After I tormented myself for a hour my Son stopped by and put a new grommet on my E brake cable where it passes thru the floor. Very nice. Happy Dad.

Good time to stop for the day. No use over doing it. Under hood brake hydro boost is all reattached. I have the left vent and E brake all hooked up and attached. I think that is enough for 1 day. I currently only have wood heat in my home and need to fire up the boiler. All the pedals are...

It passes my quality inspection now to install it.

Hand picked from inventory. The original ones I tossed they had CARC broomed on them. I Shall clean and report back. Jonestown is in the 50s today

After 2 hours and hand picking every fastener I have progressed this far. I am cleaning a left vent.

I will check back later.

These are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad. I simply remember my favorite things and then I don”t feel so bad. Happy New Year

Just use lock nuts the crimped type. I took them off many times they are not as easy as a few bolts. Where would it sit to allow time to remove it?

I think it fell off. That would take great effort to get up there and hold the nuts while untightening the bolts. As I recall they came OEM with 5/16" fine thread bolts with a star washer. Not to start controversy but a friend of mine lost a license plate off the front of his truck and assumed...

I fixed a few like that. 1 truck needed a new transmission case. Another one has 2 holes thru the upper bell and the owners were willing to take the risk. It all worked out. They ran the trucks several years before upgrading. The plow tuck split the bell housing and lower cover. Happy Holidays.

I thought about it and have decided to send the CUCV spreader truck out to a garage to have it fixed. I don't want to involve myself in the hacking that has taken place thus far. Not sure I would be satisfied with the results and adding all the wires back into the box. Not the worse one I ever...
