    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It will sorta work but that is, as already mentioned, a clearance light. The lense pattern is designed a certain way. Its not a flood pattern like a dome light would be. I wouldn't use it, but that's me.

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

    The M101A2/3 are getting harder to find and prices are going up. S250's are available too, but we definitely are not flush with them. As with everything else, prices are going up as well. You dont to need to explain why you sold it. It was yours to do with it as you wish and you sold it...

    Resto work in DFW

    More pics of truck if you can. As already mentioned, most likely a specific contract truck or ??? Someone here will recognize it and know the back story on it. Military did same thing I believe with other pickups, etc. Used for base duties. Yea, before flight school I lived in Valley...

    Resto work in DFW

    Ok Unless there's 4 holes where the plate use to be, it's not a true CUCV. You still have a great truck and it can very easily be made to look like the real thing. I would be nervous driving that on the LBJ. DFW isn't known for slow drivers, as I'm sure you know.

    Resto work in DFW

    Wrong one Should be another one on the door jam, not the door itself. Underneath where the door lock post is.

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

    That trailer combo is very desirable and a tough find here in the US, let alone where you are. Unless in dire need of cash, I would not have parted with it.

    Resto work in DFW

    Looks like a clone and not a true CUCV. Should be someone in the area.

    Steering Column - HA!, how hard can it be?

    Yes just take off the plastic piece, on top of column, off. It holds the loose wires together if I remember correctly. Then the bundle slides right down and then just reinstall the plastic piece. Youll see what I'm talking about when you crawl under there. It does help a lot to drop the...

    CARC Questions

    California says no to CARC paint?!?! Shocker....! CARC holds up extremely well. Ive hauled about 8 loads of gravel in my M925A2. Average about 7 tons each load. Scrape it out by hand most of the time. All that gravel hasn't even worn down CARC paint at all. After I wash truck, paint is...

    Spooky M101A2 camper build

    New wheels should be fine. It's the stud spacing that's critical. But Im not 100% positive. Someone will chime in soon for conformation. Looks like fresh paint on trailer. Unless your going for showroom finish, the CARC paint takes new paint very well.

    Replacement electrical connectors?

    Check eBay There are usually genuine issue ones listed and cheaper than most other places.
