The CUCV has a specific decal. The one pictured is not for a CUCV.

Just what I need. Oils and silicone all over a sanded surface that I am ready to paint. I can just ignore it and cover it or scrape it off and paint it. I never needed a picture to show me how the jack, tools and tire needed to be stored. But I do want it as original as possible. I am looking at...

Just a few sneak peeks of my progress. It has been a long-drawn-out job and I am not completed yet. Someone brush painted CARC in the cargo area and was very sloppy about it. They sprinkled non-skid grit in it and that made a real mess. I have been digging, sanding, wire brushing my way thru...

Not much to post. The dents in the main cab roof have been repaired and are ready for primer. That was an easy task after a friend came over and worked his body repair skills on the dents. The way he fixed it was by slapping it and tapping at special places. The old body repair skills are a...

These rear differentials are very tough. What you showed is pretty much the norm on a 40-year-old truck. In the past I would service the fluids and run it a while and service it again. I never seen much of an issue after that. That locker is a very noisy locker and unloads the no spin at the...

CUCV's have no tubing in the rear of the block. Just a cast hole in the rear of the valley under the intake manifold. And any leak is going to leak more under pressure. Pressure test the engine and check where it is coming from. Good Luck. The pressure test will tell all.

Check closely in the valley below the intake manifold. Is it wet there? And check all the coolant sensors and plates that cover holes in the rear of the head on the right side. Does the cross over coolant manifold leak? I would go there before I got to excited. Good Luck. Report back.

It may seem to some that I am working in reverse but being that I started this project over 20 years ago I am moving along in the right direction. Last night after much thought I removed the front doors again. I decided that if I was going to be painting the entire inside of the cab it would be...

I just posted this so you could see waste. Quick look I stole the picture it may be taken back again. A pile of M561 Gama Goats in Germany. The Gama Goat was initially designed for the US Military during the Vietnam War, was a remarkable off-road vehicle with six-wheel drive and partial...

I did get back into my project last night for a few hours. If you recall back in the beginning, I was going to get the entire interior Line Xed. That has since been taken off the table. The Line X shop cannot even start on it until mid to end July. They are not able to give a definite estimate...

This is even stupider expensive. 12" Cast Iron Skillet (yeti.com)

I know you have been wondering if I made any progress in the past 3 days. I have NOT. I have been away and fell ill on Monday from who knows what. I had great intentions and after the torrential rain fall and an eye Dr' appointment with my pupils enlarged I felt best to rest and regroup. I am...

I have always removed the #2 alternator and laid it aside. I also remove the P clamp that holds the hard line to the block. It gives you a bit of wiggle room to get that flare nut started. I change the fuel pump from the top side and only go under to loosen and tighten the 2 M6 push rod cover...

News Flash. They all sell the same parts they are just packaged and labeled differently. I bought parts from NAPA several times and when I went to install, I noticed they were the same Dorman parts that AutoZone sells. at this point in time OEM parts are far and few between. And rebuilt in USA...

Do as you wish. You ask. Someone answered with a true statement. Only 1 ground that is the front battery to frame ground. I myself would just disconnect the batteries and live with it. Do as you wish. Switched ground is a dead truck. No ground no start. I may be missing something here. Good...

1 is all you need. Only one ground makes contact with the frame.

This is how things used to work out. Even when I took time off, I was able to make progress. I wanted to show the slight paint cracks. I am not sure you can see them, but they are there, and I have hand scuffed the entire jamb and inside of the doors. Practice makes perfect or at least extra...

True statement. Front ground is only ground. That is the only ground terminal connected to the frame. True earth in British terms. I owned an MG and it had earth on the battery connection for ground.

shrink·age [ˈSHriNGkij] NOUN the process, fact, or amount of shrinking: This is the word of the week. It has cost me some time and effort, but it will not stop me. The door jambs were thoroughly sanded and cleaned and all the seams in the door jambs and on the doors were caulked and allowed...

Radio noise suppression. Cut that diode out and move on. Good Luck.
