Been a while since I have posted anything so I thought I would post some pics of my latest project nearing completion. It is in the trial phases now to fix anything that doesn't work right. All in all I am happy with the truck. Turning radius is short but workable. It seems to go anywhere I...

While on a M813 recovery trip from Indy last week, it became very clear to me that the windshields on these trucks are designed to catch snow. The flat glass surface catches and holds snow and ice. The wipers are usually ineffective. After a few hours it becomes down right dangerous to operate...

I am building an RV from a 931 and s-280 shelter and want to take advantage of all the space that i have available on the truck. Today I was contemplating space and it seems the air filter canister takes up an awful lot of it. I wonder would it be possible to relocate it and use the space for...

So after replacing the thermostat on the 931's NHC 250 and having zero results, the problem has been the gauge or sending unit all along. Temps read with a laser thermometer have not exceeded 150 degrees on several locations on the engine and radiator. After searching here and reading up on the...

So over the last couple days I have been noticing the temp on my 931 creeping up to the 200 range. Today i decided to check out the thermostat. Tore open the housing to reveal NO THERMOSTAT......well i guess that is the problem. Anyone got a part number for this bad boy and for the gasket?

As of late I have had the idea of wanting an camper and a 5 ton. So why not have both in one truck? The plans stand thus. M931 with S280 shelter or other, it has yet to be determined as I am having a little trouble nailing one down. I need a few things from the fellows here if you have the time...

Have you gotten in your CUCV on a cold morning and realized your batteries were too low to start the truck? Or dead completely? Well, we here at ACME parts have developed a part that even the most discerning person can appreciate. It is in the research and development phase of production, but...

Seems to me that there are alot of CUCV modification threads lately. Would it be prudent to open a new area for this as you guys have done for the deuce and 5 tons? I think it would unclog the CUCV forum for those that are needing CUCV specific information. Just a thought and feel free to...

I recently bought a m35A2C that has a rod through the side of the block. Rest of the truck is in great shape with a full cargo cover, dropside bed,troop seats and bows. Money is tight these days and I have a little to spend on this project right now. Question is why go back with the...

I need 5 of them and can't seem to locate any. Help is appreciated.

I think the Fat Bastard was holding out on me last year. Anti-Aircraft guns and carefull aiming are a virtue.

Got these seats from a friend for free and my other idea for seats fell threw so I thought I would give them a try. Think I struck gold. Very comfortable, not to tall. Roomy for the bigger boys as well. Checked with my local salvage yard and was quoted a pair for 50.00 so they are cheap. I am...

I have done everything to my cucv in preparation for the cold months. Done every upgrade conversion that I know of. (doghead relay, glow plug switch,spin on fuel filter,fresh fluids and antifreeze) Went out this morning jumped in to go to the store and nothing, not even a whimper from the...

When i bought my bobber project it had no mirrors or brackets. Obviously you need them as I almost ran over several people driving it home this way. I never liked the big bulky brackets that the military provides and wanted something tighter to the cab that would still allow me to see what was...

any reason this would not work? Has a fuel pump already, 24v, fuel sending unit that could be wired to an auxillary fuel guage? Seems like it is tailor made for the job. Any observations?

anyone in the orlando area that is heading into tennessee? I need four seats picked up. i could meet up with someone just about anywhere in tn.

Ok so I put the 101a1 bed on my m1031 chassis. Used the Tailights from the trailer on the rear of my truck. I can't figure out the correspondance between the trailer and cucv tailights. Played with it some and now I have tailights and brake lights, but no turn signals or blackout lights. point...

I am picking up 2 101 trailers next week sometime and had a thought about using one as a bed. First example would be for those who have a 1031 and want a regular bed on the back? Would someone mind measuring the 101 trailer and posting the actual dimensions? I think it would look great. The...

Been driving my 1031 a good bit and everything functions fine. Question is, above my heater controls there is an amperage guage with a momentary pushbutton next to it. Guage reads zero all the time. I thought maybe it had something to do with the generator in the back so I engaged the PTo and...

Searched and could not find a single pic of a lifted 1031 with the contact bed on it? Hard to believe no one has lifted one or added HUMMV tires?
