Ok ok ok ... I know the topic of retro-fitting A/C has been covered here in a few different approaches, but since now I am in a part of the country that needs A/C for like 10 out of the 12 months, I think it's time I start looking into doing this. I saw a post sometime ago ... and I can't find...

Quick question - with the front axle difference between the M1009 and M1008; if a front drive shaft from a m1009 was going to be used on a m1008 - what type of things would need to be done? Or this type of thing isn't doable? Thanks for any help, -graham

Hiya all, I got the truck on Friday staight from the GSA. It appears to be a headquarters truck for the Florida National Guard in Southern Florida. Overall, its in good shape. Starts right up and drives pretty good. I have taken it up to about 50 and it steers, shifts and brakes just fine...

So, I really do have a CUCV problem. I purchased another one today from the GSA here in GA. Truck appears to be in good condition, and apparently runs as well. There is a little rust reported around the top of the door frame. I will be picking it up in the upcoming days. I am really only...

Interesting; came across this beauty on GSA's auction site ... www.gsaauctions.gov --> Construction Equipment --> 1955 REO TRUCK WITH MOUNTED CRANE . Attached is a pic. Enjoy. -graham

I guess I am tootin' my own horn (or my wife would stay strokin' it), anyhoo, with the help of Cabell's website and George from the mil-veh list, I was able to get my trailer back into complete order. Cabell had excellent instructions on creating the wood bows and I was able to locate NOS bow...

My transmission in the M1009 has finally given up and its time to R&R it. I do have another TH400 in my parts truck that I can use, however I don't know the condition of it and I would hate to put it in to only have to take it out in a few months. Has anyone complete taken out, rebuild the...

I need the sectional antenna for a MX6707 base. Any leads? I would rather buy from an SS member opposed to eBay ..... -graham

Triplets .... love em'. So, it was one of those deals you see on GL where you think "God, only that much ?!?!". I was already bidding on a 'parts' truck so backfill some needed and 'nice-to-have' parts, however came across another beauty. Both at the Montgomery National Guard. I bid on it as...

Hi All, I just bought two CUCV m1009's from GL out of Montgomery and will not have enough time to get them both off base and to Atlanta in one day. I would like to keep one there, off-base in Montegomery for an extra week and come back on a Saturday and get it. Does anyone have property in...

Ok, and I don't know why, but I really would like to put in a rear tailgate power regulator and motor. It's not that I will be removing the manual out, GL or DRMO already has done that for me :x - so I get to start off fresh. Has anyone done such a conversion that can share any quarks or...

We will be having a get-together over at Clintos this Saturday, the 30th. Afternoon cook-out, enjoying each other's company and of course, our trucks. Clinto's vast-estate is East of Winder, GA (30666) - specifically in the area of Hwy 316 and Wall Road. If you are planning on joining us...

Hiya, Looking for a set of Exide's 6TL or equivalent here in Atlanta area. Does anyone have a good source of these? If not, what about a battery that is somewhat similiar in size, to fit in the CUCV battery trays? Thanks! -graham

Folks, I posted on Mil-Veh and checked with the normal vendors, so far no luck and would thought to post here for one last ditch effort .... I need the engine oil cooler lines for a CUCV (86 M1009). Anyone got an extra set? If so, and you want to part with them - PM me. Cash in hand. Thanks...

So, as some of you know, I picked up another M1009 out of Florida. Builder77 had a towbar that needed to be picked up down there as well, so it was perfect timing. Builder77 also sent down spacers to be used (which I forgot to use for the first leg of the trip - led to an nerve-wrecking...

A few days ago I made the trip over to Anniston, AL to the Army Depot to pick up my new M101A1 trailer from a recent GL auction. For the most part, I am pretty stoked with the purchase - all the lights and handbrakes work. Has the sides and the rear gate. Except for a few rust spots, it's...
