    Really frustrated. .M1010 and questionable work

    I've had old cars my whole life. This M1028 is just the latest. In all my years of playing with classic vehicles like this I've learned one thing. (THESES ARE HOBBY CARS) you have to be willing and able to do the work yourself. You simply can't take a 30+ year old vehicle into a shop, of any...

    Brake conundrum

    No these speed bleeders have bin around for about 20 years now. I've had them on most my cars and hotrods sense then. They have ah check valve in them so all you do is crack one at ah time open and pump the pedal. It only takes one person and they bleed brakes VERY well. and you don't need...

    M1009- from forgotten to restored, my story

    Yeah after seeing your pics I wouldn't bother patching that. Just do a full floor pan, it'll be much easier and stronger when your finish. Make sure to get ah few cans of weld through primer to spray on the inside of all the inner floor structures. after you get them cleaned up.

    M1008 Front Brake Upgrades? Master Cylinder?

    I've bin looking into this myself. There's ah couple solutions I've found (#1) there are ah few companies on Ebay and on the web that will cross drill, slot, and zinc coat ANY rotors you order. It takes ah couple weeks for them to make and send them to you. I have them on 2 vehicles and they...

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

    Took off the door strikers and installed some 7/16 rubber hose over them. Now the door closes ah little easier and no more rattles. Then took off the passenger side mirror and pulled out the factory plastic sleeve, and replaced it with ah piece of rubber inner tube. Now hopefully the mirror will...

    Fuel leak, air in system, squeaky noise related to fuel delivery, need HELP

    If you look down inbetween the cab and the bed you can see the top of the tank. And if you twist your head right you'll see the short rubber lines spider webbing out from it. If it were me I'd undo and slide the bed back before I'd try dropping that heavy tank.

    goldneagle's 1985 M1008 recovery and restoration thread...

    I'm going to call that battle damage. Those are impacts, not rust. If it were me I'd preserve it by hitting it with ah brass wire wheel to clean off the rust, paint it black, then (using an art brush) fill in the craters with silver paint. Ah great conversation piece and a reminder of what these...

    Oil in coolant advice needed

    I think you posted about this before? I suggest before you go tearing apart the engine check for the cheap and or simple solutions first. Are you sure it's oil and not trans fluid? Sense disconnecting the oil lines have you THOROUGHLY flushed the cooling system? You may just be seeing residual...
