The truck in question was painted with Gillespie 383 green, not CARC. Hope that helps.

Welcome to the site, here is a link to a tutorial on how to post pictures. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?59917-How-to-post-pictures-a-tutorial

The m35 was a gasser, the m35a1 came with the lds-427 multifuel.

Yep, they usually have the smaller bulbs in the marker lights (same size as a 67 or 97). The larger bulbs (like an 1156) will fit under the lenses though, I just checked.

A few months ago I posted about getting a fiberglass shelter designed for a CUCV dually; that one has gone to a new home but today I picked up another one. This one is a little more complete, with a couple of Vidmar cabinets, a Mosler safe (locked of course, and the default combo doesn't seem...

I'm planning on being at the show for a couple of days. I'm in the market for a litter carrier for a John Deere M-Gator in the unlikely event that someone going to the show has one. I also would be interested in a set of new or very nice stock rear springs for a CUCV pickup for the right...

I like the license plate![thumbzup]

One of the trailers was the m116a3.

It could be an m1028. Check the NSN on the dataplate in the driver's door jamb, that will tell you what it is.

I hope so! I think I'll have it "done" in the next month if everything goes well. Yesterday I changed the injector return lines since they were very brittle and leaking and it started right up in 20-something degree weather.:-) After driving around the front lawn a couple times I used it to...

I figured out what was wrong with the hour meter, it was hooked up backwards. After changing the wires around it only shows 475 hours! Of course, that doesn't mean anything since it could have been hooked up wrong for the last 10 years or so.:| I got the tires tubes and 1 new front tire and...

Thanks for posting, great job with the restoration! I placed an order today for almost all of the missing parts for mine such as all of the plastic in the right color, as well as a throttle cable, shift knobs, some shifter linkage parts, clutch cover, filters, a couple stickers, 1 front tire...

It could be, but someone out there has to have one hanging around. Since I don't need it anyway I'll just wait it out. In other news yesterday I got the bed dissassembled, and I straightened out the bed floor and the tailgate. If the weather cooperates I might get some sanding done tomorrow.

Pretty much. Almost all the important stuff is the same as the civilian model, which makes finding parts a lot easier. I think the only thing for the Gator I might have some difficulty obtaining is the correct litter rack for over the hood (if anyone has one for sale let me know!).

I think the dropside bed is the major difference over the civilian models, other than that I think they're similar to how the CUCV is setup compared to the civilian Chevys (added brush guard, blackout lights, pintle hook, etc.).

I think it's ch3007d070603, the model is 3007d003. Thanks for confirming the year of the Gator itself, if I wanted to register it in Vermont I would have needed to get the title for it had it been a 2004, but since it's a 2002 it doesn't need one.

Thanks! Thanks for the info. I've already got the technical manual printed out and I've been reading through it, still looking for a printable copy of the operator's manual though. Yesterday I stopped by Tractor supply and picked up a battery for it, and installed it this morning. I think I...

Thanks Stonepicker. Unfortunately I'm no longer in the CUCV II club, and I'm think I'm going to have more in this Gator than I did in the Tahoe.:shock: Oh well...:shrugs:

Yesterday my brother and I road tripped over to Fort Drum to pick up the M-Gator I won a couple weeks ago. The recovery went well except for a wheel bearing failure about 60 miles from Drum, so we 3-wheeled the rest of trip. I paid a little more than I was hoping to, but I wanted one and 200...

The two alternators should be the same (both setup for isolated ground). The gen 1 alternator should have a wire connecting the ground post to ground on the truck, thus making it operate as if it was a "normal" alternator.
