You're an angel

Zayf2 The guy i bought my CUCV from told me that there are maybe 6 or 7 of them in this one area in Humboldt Park. Matter of fact as I was getting this one out of his garage two of them rolled by. Then they parked at this one bakery on California. Sad that this is exciting to me huh? I guess I...

Ah, in have been running across a few steelsoldier members here. There is a guy on CL selling some variant of CUCV in McHenry

Nice! I am thinking about it. It seems that it would cost me more to buy the parts I need in order to see it run diesel. I am thinking of rebuilding it out of the truck just to get familiar with it. I am planning to get another truck in the future. M1008 or M1009...My son wants one now so I am...

Thanks

PO = previous owner

Where about are you turnkey?

Thanks, Looks like I have a long ways to go until mine looks that good. I have to go take a look to see if mine has that gauge for the glow plugs. The more I look at what is missing in mine the more I want just cannibalize my gasser for its internals and gauges. Where about in Illinois are you...

That makes sense, I have been looking and everyone in the city is looking to get a fortune for the diesel trucks. I found a nice diesel suburban but the guy isn't coming down from the 1.1k mark. I'd trade my running gasser K5 with all its spare parts for a complete diesel K series truck

Welcome from Chicago, I know the feeling I too am new to automotive. Just dive in and read as much as possible about what your fixing. Beautiful rig you have there, A few questions for you. Can you supply more pics of your dash area? Mine doesn't look as clean as yours.

Welcome from Chicago

@Florida I know I need time, tools, cash, and muscle. The missus doesn't care about what i am back in the yard doing as long as there is air conditioning in there once i am done. @Scar, my plans are to rip out that boat anchor and try to trade my running gasser for a diesel K series truck.

This is for certain seeing as how I know absolutely nothing about diesels. I have to figure out how to get that dead block out of the truck which shouldn't be to hard, I'm becoming a YouTube certified mechanic. Afterwards I'm going to clean everything up, por 15 everything I can. Do something...

Welcome from Chicago. I'd like to see your rig

You guys are freaking awesome!

Thanks

Scar, thanks for the great advice. I am going to pursue the new engine. Between the 6.2 burb engine and the 6.2 military are there differences or is it just pull off the front clips yank the engine, torgue converter, and tranny then install? I haven't ever done an engine swap before, but I am...

Hi Scar, thanks for the welcome. i am in northwest near oak park, forest Park and the likes. I found an 84 diesel suburban in the city for 1100 bucks(which I'd never give him) sent him an email to ask what factory options it had, hopefully AC or the wife is going to really push that I need to...

Stole it huh? I think that this is a story we would all love to hear.

If you're talking about the one that eats your wallet slowly and consumes you with the overwhelming urge to buy parts, parts trucks, and tools then I am stage 3 already. And Central Illinois eh? I may call on you soon for help. Willing to work for beer and food?
