Getting involved in this no injury accident may have saved you and others. Blocks never go on front suspension. NEVER. https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/131-0708-4x4-front-lift-blocks/ I would be thankful that this happened without injury or loss of life. In Pennsylvania we have annual safety...

That is the shift arm for the transfer case on the NP208 C. That was NOT rebuilt. This one was rebuilt. That seal is available at NAPA. Getting all the leaks fixed on 35+ year old vehicles is a full time labor intense job. Good Luck. I found changing the seal will work sometimes. But never all...

This yoke has no flange to center U joint. The C clips do the centering like an M1009 was designed. Clips on inside of U joint caps. This yoke requires no C clips and is self centering when the correct U joint is seated inside the flanges. This is an example again of the Clip yoke that is stock...

The rear U joint on the m1009 has the snap Clips on the caps inside to center it on the yoke. Same as the driveshaft. the snap rings are on the inside. They are NOT out side. This is just an example. The M1009 requires the internal snap rings to keep the U joint centered in the open yoke.

The frame has definite damage. If put on a frame machine, it will show a diamond shape with the left being back further and the left front rail is bent downward. Frame machines were made to correct this type of damage. The rivets have stretched the holes in few of the crossmembers and will need...

Outside working and cleaning up. I moved onto the chopping of the second M1009 roof. These things can't stay around here forever. Getting the glass out was really hard on this one. Not sure why but I spent more time removing the glass then I did sawing it up. This is the only way I know to get...

I am outside doing yard and woods cleanup. Some things have got to go. I have this trailer frame listed on marketplace. I am going to be listing more stuff. It seems weather is working against me every week I have clean up from wind damaged trees. Last night I cut one down. Today I spend...

EZGN you're a funny guy.

I left you a PM. Check it out. Easy task. Have no fear.

It was an assembly line aid. the rubber plug only fit one way and that solved the issue with mixed line. Top hose T to transmission. Bottom hose B to back of engine vacuum pump. Easy to remember T & B.

IMHO 168 or 194. I have access to a unlimited 194 bulbs that were left over from the dinosaur ages so I just stock them in containers and use them. It's a light bulb. Even in a museum no one would know the difference. If you have a CUCV that I built and it needed the wedge base bulb during the...

In fact, they all have the same base, they're all made the same with the same incandescent filament - the only difference is the wattage. Depending on the number of the bulb; 194 versus 168, all it does is dictate the amount of wattage the bulb draws. The more wattage the bulb draws, the more...

I had multiple CUCV pick up frames a few years back. Now I am down to one nice, clean, straight M1009 frame that I am going to have blasted and painted. I am going to keep it and stock it for sale when someone needs a nice clean M1009 frame. They are not making these parts anymore and I wish I...

The Bronze was the stock color when the CUCV left the factory. The neutral gray is a replacement dash pad and was supposed to be painted / dyed to match. The SEM paint/dye will adhere very well if the pad is cleaned and free of any cleaners. Armor All is a killer of adhesion. I have painted many...

Looks like they painted it with a mop. But it has potential. It needs a lot of time spent getting all that RED off of it. 80 grit DA sander and go wild. 1 panel at a time would be a good goal. That truck chassis sat in stock somewhere for a few years before that Able Body was built. Good Deal. I...

I do see the resemblance.

OK. Here is the problem. Easy enough to solve. I must get in there and clean up. I have tools laying everywhere. I do have the M1009 Little Red inside there already to continue on that project. I have a few other projects to finish and some summer lawn care equipment to work on, but it seems...

As you can see in the picture, I have cut the rear crossmember from my M1102 generator trailer. I have also removed the jack/stabilizer from a donor M1102 generator trailer. One can only imagine the horror that these poor trailers endured at the DRMO. I was able to realign and straighten the...

Sometimes you get involved in more projects than you need to. I have a lot of friends and they know me as the fixer guy. I changed the floor out on this flatbed Chevy for a customer. I went to a local sawmill and bought 1 3/8" Red Oak rough cut lumber and put a new floor on the flatbed. That...

Yesterday I had a customer drop off his M1028 and he said he cannot get the ATF fluid to read on the dip stick. He was afraid his transmission was low and in reality, it was over full about 3 QT. I pull the dipstick and show him that it was broken off. He said he just had a local garage change...
