    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Keep on eye on eBay. I found two NOS factory GM ones on there last year. My first M1008A1 had new GM installed when I picked it up at Ft. Hood Seller actually had more and I posted info (not a link) on SS and they All sold that day. I should have bought them all but didn’t want to be greedy...

    Special Forces style seat covers.

    Looks like an old jacket hanging on the seat.

    Special Forces style seat covers.

    So the thousands of M1008/1028 trucks in private hands and hundreds on this website aren’t worth the trouble? Got it

    Outdoor Trailer Protection/storage

    You can resale the containers when your done. Yes, the containers are vented. No moisture issues.

    Ignition key is square head and doors are the rounded head. Standard civillian GM setup for these. Unless you find a NOS CUCV set, you’ll have two keys.

    Well blew another head gasket :(

    I would install a new set of head gaskets. You have already gone this far and a new set is cheap insurance. There might be some flaw/damage to the current set that you can’t see.

    Voltmeter

    You get what you pay for. Plenty of cheap gauges out there.

    Amazon has the complete sets. I replaced the door locks and ignition key assembly. They fit perfect. They were also the least expensive

    M939 Front Axle Boot replacement.....how I did it.....

    I usually read the old threads in my spare time. Amazing what you come across. You will find answers to questions you haven’t even thought of yet.

    Brand? Theft attempt or bad luck? I used ACDelco locks, but anything can break.

    Voltmeter

    This is the one CUCVRUS recommended I installed it over 2 years ago since the original voltmeter was missing. Been flawless from day one.

    Outdoor Trailer Protection/storage

    Something cheaper than building something right away would be shipping containers. You can get two CUCVs inside a 40 footer no sweat. Tight but possible. Not sure about number of trailers. That way, no worry about mice, moisture, storms, vandals, etc. I have two stored inside a 40’ Hi-Cube...

    That looks like more than a dusting. Truck looks good

    Doghead relay mod on my M1028

    Just look on eBay and if not available in country, then most of those sellers will ship internationally.

    cucv headlight recomendations

    I have those round Truck-Lite LEDs on my M925A2. Excellent lights! Did all LEDs on the 5 ton and they are all Truck-Lites. My LED dash lights are Military issue but their not TLs. Cost was painful but I don’t have to worry about them going out anytime soon. Hella makes an excellent...
