    Counting down the days

    Armada That resto shop is too clean compared to where mine is but the truck looks are somewhat similar. Guess mine is just a dirtly little girl.

    Unit markings on a M1008 questions

    Best way is to ask him what the bumper numbers would be or to get the unit he was in. In some cases you need to know all the way down to the section level. For example: Passenger side front Drivers side front 28 1-110 IN...

    Need help decoding bumper numbers on my Dodge M37

    That's too old for my database but... The passenger side front should match the drivers side rear for bumper markings. Likewise the passenger side rear should match the drivers side front. You have partials enough to uncover the unit. The tailgate number is probably a registration number if...

    Counting down the days

    Just returned from the auto body shop working on my 1009. That truck sure looks SCHWEEEET. They have all of the dents pulled out, all rust spots ground down, and fixed the passenger door and tailgate window. I should have it around Turkey Day. It will definately be a good Thanksgiving...

    MX-7777, VIC-1, and a M-1009

    I lucked out and obtained a VIC-1 system that I was wanting to install in my 1009. Do I need the MX-7777 when using the VIC-1 within the M-1009? What are the benefits versus not installing one? T.I.A.

    Where has it been?

    You hit it on the head emmado. It may have been used for range maintenance, in support of training (the draw yard), a trash truck, the dreaded P-HA truck, an OPFOR vehicle, or just about anything else on base. I did three rotations to JRTC. It ain't fun. Most of the stuff units bring but...

    Where has it been?

    Your truck was last assigned to the Directorate of Logistics, Installation Management Command, Fort Polk, LA. It could have been used by the JRTC folks, they tend to use a lot of the older vehicles in role playing. Hope that helps.

    '09 Came in

    Welcome to the 1009 world. I had rust in the rocker panel and toe board myself and ordered most of a floor system from LMC truck. I don't have the means to weld so I had to pay. I've put in just under a grand in parts and labor. Mine is coming out of the paint/body shop within the next two...

    Steering Problem and Solution

    I've seen several items lately about steering/suspension issues. Wanted to relate an issue and how I fixed it. My 1009 went from one side of the road to the other although the steering wheel was kept basically straight. I found myself constantly correcting this sway. To diagnos the problem...

    New M1009 Owner in Oklahoma City

    Welome to the CUCV club! My suggestion is to get the technical manuals. I've found them to be very helpful in troubleshooting (-20 and -34) and for looking up parts (-20P and -34P). They have the TM's posted on this website. Helped me redo the suspension on mine.

    Sheriff's deuce

    Yep for most items it goes 30 days for military, 30 days for local, state, federal, and 30 days for donation to registered non-profit agencies. If a non-profit wants to use the item in the US, they have to go through their state agency for excess and surplus property and it will cost them. If...

    EUC Driver's Lic Photo

    Based on the info I got from the folks on line on this website, I said the heck with it and sent everything in by registered mail. Sure enough they sent me a letter a few weeks later threatening to d/c me from future sales if I didn't send in an EUC. My response was to send an email with...

    Christine is up for auction

    In case anyone was wanting info on it.... There is a tan M923 5 ton up for auction at GL. It came from one of my former units. It is mechanically sound but has some minor rust issues. While moving it to DRMO the driver side mirror fell off. The canvas drivers compartment tarp and cargo side...

    WWII Quad .50 trailer pics

    Wish I would have known you were going that way. A little further down the road in Petersburg, WV there is an old fella that runs a privately owned military vehicle museum. Several jeeps, trucks, and I know he has a LTVP cause he bought it just before I could wrangle up the funds to get it.

    Bumper Markings

    Best I can tell you is the 107th got it from an inactivating unit in 1996. Appears the data on the loosing unit is a dead end.
