bench seat The bench seat will fit either seat configuration but if you have a springer seat for the driver then the bench seat is attached using a supplemental frame going down to the floor and sits on top of the springer seat mounting plate. When you remove the springer seat and go to a box...

You did not have to take that pie with you too did you??? It may have worth the extra "load" if the price was right though. Good save, Think O.D. Green!! :grd: JIm

oil leak Don't assume that that is brake fluid. I thought the same after a similar incident and it was gear oil instead. I took the hub off, cleaned and repacked the bearings, and reinstalled the hub and wheels with a new outer seal. They seem to be sensitive on some trucks. I went through...

tailgate My M1009 had the original tailgate on it when I purchased it and it had springs on both sides. I replaced the springs and cables due to rust. Jim

Brake light There is a wire going to the brake proportioning valve that I believe gives you a warning light if the brake system is weak aka; low on braking pressure or perhaps if the differential pressure is too far off. If you are just getting the truck I would bleed the brakes and get some...

Your EUC ?? You could also make a nice, slightly enlarged, color copy at Kinkos or Office Depot. I would also include a color copy of a passport or any other federal ID like a pilot's license, mechanic's license, Military ID, etc. as this just doubles their warm and fuzzy that you are who you...

CUCV titling info You need the bill of sale from Uncle Sam to G.L., the bill of sale from G.L. to you, and the SF-97 from Uncle Sam to G.L., and possibly a SF-97 reassignment form but that depends on your state. Even though you are actually buying the truck, the truck is sold on paper to G.L...

the recoevery mission That is one sexy looking deuce with the nice paint, winch, and those Oh-so-biiiiggggg tires! Really nice truck!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

tree on deuce A slightly blackened eye is all that is. I would be very careful about firing it up wit the dented valve cover. I don't know about the clearances inside the valve cover with regards to the rocker arms. Other wise you could even run it for just a bit with the radiator neck broken...

Sorry I mis-understood the statement. I with draw my 1.56 cents worth....:roll: Jim

your truck I second and third that. Drop end but not drop side. Nice looking overall though. Jim

That is the letter that shows that you are approved. It does not really state that anywhere but that is what is means. Scan it and e-mail it if you are in a hurry or they will pick up on it in tow days or so anyway. Jim

the "B.C. Wait" If you are first time buyers from G.L. or have not purchased anything from them in the last five years you are a Newbie to them. You will get a letter back from B.C Office. Scan it and e-mail it to G.L. Customer Service Dept. telling them that you received it in the mail and...

fuel contamination Guys and gals, The rust is not actually that bad. All that stuff on the bottom of the pump washed off with hot water adn rust would not do that. I'm puzzled by the content of the material in the tank but there is very little actual rust. The rough appearance is similar to...

dirty fuel system The saga continues. Is this too much solid fuel for the injection pump (See pic #1)? HA HA I took the tank off tonight and gave it a preliminary wash and boy did some crude wash out. Other pics show the findings before the initial wash. The pump cover (bottom) did not...

towing your truck. If this is a one to two-time occurance I would also use the magnetic lights and just install the 1683 bulbs in them. If you may do this more often and don't mind switching the rear tail light bulbs each time then I can give you some guidance on how to install a standard 4-pin...

CUCV recovery Now come-on 3dubs, he needed a Field Expediant "air down"! :-D :twisted: As lone as they hold air and won't fly apart on the road, I would go with the ones installed. Don't foreget some duct tape to wrap around the bearing caps on the reare end of the driveshaft or theyu WILL...

insuring your deuce Gulfway for $145 per year. No limittations no garage requirements. Won't go above your liability for regular cars though. I had Taylor for the first year for $48 per year, required a garage, no rear passengers even in parades (why I'm no longer with them) but they did give...

Your M1009 fuel problems There are several potential causes for this malfunction. Chevy used a circuit board that was made from flexible plastic with copper sheet in it for the wires. The contacts for the gages are polished pins that simply push through the plastic that has a "weeny" little...

The parts are the same from '83 to 87 in CUCV M1009 series except for a couple of suttle small things. Look for a trailer hitch for a 84 or 85 Blazer or Jimmy. It should bolt right on except that the skid plate for the tank will have to come off or be modified. I removed mine in hopes of...
