    Upgrading a CUCV's max towing capacity?

    The downfall here is in the 6.2 motor.. That old truck frame,trans, gear combo is much stronger than most frames produced after.. Just two cents here... Many guys would put a in box camper and pull a tandem axle flatbed with another truck on it.. When they switched to the 89 to 99 style the...

    CUCV pintle hitch

    RE: Re: RE: CUCV pintle hitch Shoot me PM and a price.. The M1008 is rated for much more.. I think it has the same hitch too so it must be because of the gears and short wheel base of the M1009..

    CUCV pintle hitch

    I will probably re-enforce the whole thing like a equilizer hitch and call it good. I think the tow load is rated low because of the 308 gears.. I pulled some hellatiouse loads with some of my K5 blazers over the years and they did fine. All had 3:73 with 33" tires and 4 inch lift.. We used to...

    Dave P and I have a trucker lined up to pick up a M270 flatbed trailer in Chambersburg PA tomorrow. Anybody up for the task if I pay all your fuel to pick up a M101A1 in Mechanicsburg and take it to Chambersburg to be loaded on the M270? This just sprang up and figured what the heck.. Someone...

    CUCV pintle hitch

    Do you think the inner big bolt/nut/swivel combo is needed? I did bolt a solid old style on for a temp but its not realy a equilizer type hitch.. Just a re-enforced bumper.. I might put some extra gussets to the frame.. I do like the swivel option on the original so thats one reason for looking...

    Headlights or spotlights?

    just the bulb, but they are grounded through the mount. I took some of mine apart that I was putting the regular spotlight in, made one side of the high low connection the ground and the other the hot leed. Then grounded them real good to the truck. I dont trust using the mount for the ground...

    Headlights or spotlights?

    Bulbs for these are out there Napa and others in both 6,12,and24 volt. Also in spotlight, or high/low headlight style. You can use the one you have just hook up either the high or low side or if you want to get fancy put a high/low switch for your back up light.. LOL... The bulb size is the...
