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

    Now that's the scientific evidence we've been waiting for! Walmart also sells Wix filters.:)

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    Early multifuels had reversible headlight panels. At least in 1966 still. I was going to use them on my repower but decided to use the newer style.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    The original hood will work fine but the gasser grille is an inch shorter than the multifuel grilles.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    It's looking really good! Is that a gasser grille on it or am I just seeing things?

    M1010 box weight

    One of the Drash trailers might be a decent starting point for an m1010 box hauler.

    Portland to Sequim (Hopefully)

    Nice truck. Good luck with the trip.

    1951 m104 Trailer

    The TM doesn't specifically state a reason for the front gate. It would be nice for a genset if you needed the clearance to work on it. An article in MV magazine stated that the front tailgate was to allow the trailer to haul long cargo and poles. It would add a little over 3 feet of usable...

    M1009 rear tailgate glass, they supposed to go all the way down?

    It should go lower than that but it won't go all the way down. Probably less than 1/2" will stick up. Not the best design in my opinion.

    1951 m104 Trailer

    I got the lunette out since that needed to be flipped back up, removed the tailgates, and test fitted the m105 gate. That will work good after welding on some new brackets for the hooks, welding up the mystery squares and a couple other minor changes. After a bit of clean up the canvas covers...

    What does this knob do?

    I've read through quite a few of the TMs and never noticed it listed, I doubt it's in there. The seat also doesn't look right to me. Unless I'm seeing things funny it looks more like a box driver's seat but in the middle of the cab, definitely not a regular passenger seat.

    What does this knob do?

    I’ve never seen that on a deuce before, looks like an add on. What’s it connected to?

    1951 m104 Trailer

    Some more pictures. The bed actually does need a fair bit of welding which is to be expected I guess. The rear tailgate needs quite a bit of work too but I picked up an NOS m105 gate with it that at a glance looks the same with just a couple small changes needed. I also got a couple canvas...

    1951 m104 Trailer

    Mine were on a trailer that I bought from an SS member. I think Kublo's Surplus in PA was selling the wheels on ebay, not sure if they still are or not. They drop the trailer down quite a bit but they also stick out a few inches or so on either side.

    1951 m104 Trailer

    We finally went and picked this up yesterday. The wrecker set worked great to unload 7 Jeep engines sitting in the trailer. We put on bolster tires to drop it down and added some lights and longer safety chains. It towed great for the 350 mile trip. I'll get some more pics once it's unloaded...

    REO 331 oil

    I’d have to check the book to make sure but I believe it’s 9 quarts. It should be listed on a data plate on the right side of your dash.

    M808/ m818

    The predecessors were the m52 (6602 gas engine), m52a1 (673 Mack), and the m52a2 (multifuel). The replacements to the m818 were the m931/m932 along with the a1 and a2 versions which had either the 250 cummins or 8.3 cummins. None of them had jake brakes from the factory. People have added them...

    M808/ m818

    I'm not sure what an m808 is but the m818 did not have a Jake brake stock.

    Easy way to tell an M101a2 fron M101a3???

    Yes they're all interchangeable.
