LOL it’s in the trailer in the background. Only have one and need two!

Swept the loose straw out of trailer after unloading. Washing it tomorrow. Maybe

After unloading supplies today, had time to actually wash bed out. All the hay, dirt, lumber bits, etc. Have been meaning to do this for months, but something always comes up. Nice and clean now.....until tomorrow when I break out the chainsaw again and load up more campfire firewood.

ACDELCO still makes the Harmonic Balancer for the 6.2L. Mine arrived and was identical to original and made in USA.

Have fun with them. Sure, they’ll work just fine, but their nickname is “Swellmans” for a reason. The tips on those have a nasty habit of swelling, making removal a nightmare. The ACDelco AC60Gs are self limiting and do not swell. That’s the reason most guys have them installed.

The poor bezel fit on the USA1 was my biggest complaint. Along with fit and color coming off when lightly scuffed. I would gladly pay the higher cost and wait time for a proper dash. More for the ease of getting in and out of dash for repairs to cluster, etc. Now I dread the day when I...

Every area will be different. This style truck is extremely popular now. Prices on civilian models are going way up and the CUCV prices at auction are also. I would be more worried about it being taken for parts. Sometimes using the chain and lock seems silly, but it only takes <30 seconds...

Yes You can easily incorporate a kill switch in a CUCV. It’s been covered well before so do a search and all the details will be available. Hardest part is to locate the switch in a uncommon hiding area. Some guys get really creative. Crooks will usually not take the time to figure out...

The busted needle wouldn’t come off the original on mine and I had to get a replacement from eBay. Couldn’t find one locally and the GM replacement was in excellent condition. Have a pic of original mileage and quick simple math will give me current true mileage. Just passed the 100k mark...

I have a USA1 pad and it’s ok. Wasn't that impressed with fit and finish and their customer service is awful. There is a thread about it. If you still have your original GM dash pad, there is a company in California that will refinish it back to OEM condition. They do a lot of hot rod...

The civilian ACDELCO locks are not keyed alike. Only the Army required them all to match for obvious reasons. I use the Military theft prevention system......aka chain and lock. Simple and it works. I have a small mud flap under seat that the chain sits on top of when not in use. Prevents...

Brand new ones on eBay.

Just send him a PM with your parts list.

That’s what the video recommended and showed. No reason to remove striker for install unless personal preference.

You just kinda have to play with the adjustment. Adjusting the striker inward (to a point) will allow the door to close tighter and with new seals should help with the water issue. The hinge bushings have already been discussed and will help also. Doors were swapped in CUCVs a lot when in...

I’ve had a few people drive up and ask if I wanted to sell mine and then where to get them. Mostly Jeep guys Now I can tell them don’t bother to look at GP auctions since their all gone basically. Some really great builds and great ideas are on that site and SS. That’s why I wanted...

1987 M1008A1 rolled past 100,000 miles today on way to breakfast. Did it while towing a M101A2 Trucks Running better than ever.

Turner Turnpike is the Autobahn of Oklahoma. As mentioned, 85-90+ is the norm. OHP patrols it as vigorously as their budget allows, but seems to have little effect once the trooper is passed and out of sight. Local/county LE usually stay clear from it. Air patrols have suffered from budget...

AntennaClimber did a fantastic build with a M101A2 for the convoy last year. Best one I’ve seen IMHO. Plenty of others, including the above, that also did awesome builds. All it takes is time and $$$ Plus space, ingenuity, skill, dedication....... I’m definitely building one...

I was waiting for someone to mention that. It’s old damage and door was fixed not long after getting truck. They were horrible. Passenger side was the worst and that’s the pic your referring to. Need new strikers but can’t find undamaged GM ones. Do not want the cheap non-GM ones. If you...
