    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    I think I forgot to reply to this, sorry about that. I did sell it about a month ago, however I am in the process of getting another one. I am picking up a 1984 Chevy Suburban 6.2L w/700R4, 4X4, 3/4 ton this weekend that will be my second CUCV M1007/M1029 clone. The only drawback to this...

    I thought I would add these images here from another post, this is one of the reasons I built this and why I wanted a 3/4 ton.

    Thanks, for a cheap paint job it has been holding up well. Not sure what you mean about the drying over the door. Anything black is spay paint and the rain gutters were removed and painted. All the door jams I painted black as it was easier & faster over trying to use the house paint, plus it...

    It is allot of work to do that, I have looked into it and I just do not have the shop for that type of project. I will just keeps it as is and continue my search for a cheap base 6.2L 3/4 4WD Suburban and build another one. The the lowest price on the perfect Suburban base 4X4 I found over the...

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    I will see what I can find, the last pick and pull the interior was not in great condition, but few yards around here will junk a box body GM that has not been completely stripped. I do not mind, but keep in mind this is a very labor intensive task as everything inside has to be covered to...

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    It is a used one from the parts truck I noted in a past post where I got the rest of the interior from. That is why I was not so upset when I messed up the cut as it was used and did not pay allot for it. Finding a good headliner used can be tough, generally they are already stripped out when...

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Dash painted black and installed one of those plastic dash covers that I got on cyber Monday for $80 shipped. Turned out OK, but I would still rather have a real vinyl full replacement, but did not want to spend $300 + for one. Now the whole interior is black and no more white to be seen. While...

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Here are some more pictures from today after some more work. I added stencil ID numbers matching the GANG 278MP on my M1031 and gave it unit number HQ69 as from what I read the HQxx number would be the vehicle ID. I found Georgia National Guard Military Police 278, so that is likely where my...

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Pretty much these are just pictures from multiple angles showing the bullet liner. I will paint the white black over the next weekend, I just ran out of time before it got dark. I will also clean and touch up the exterior paint as there are spots that have been scratched up due to all the work...

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Started today at 9am and ended my day at about 5pm working on putting the burb back together, so I am pretty tired now. Only have to get the rear headliner installed after I clean up the roof from the fire issue that I mentioned was there before I bought it. Everything else is back together and...

    wallew, I do know about the seats, but not sure if I want to go wit them. I would have to see how they would look before I would go that route. I just got a nice cloth bench seat to replace the really dirty one it came with, so right now I am good with a bench seat. I have about 10 of them all...

    Pictures of the floor from dirty to clean. The rear cargo area was stripped down, but did not get a picture of it before it got dark, but you can see what I was dealing with on the small rust spots. This thing was really dirty, but it is all clean now. I have to scuff a few more spots before I...

    Allot going on with the Suburban since I last posted and put on about 100 miles driving it around town to just get a feel of it between projects. It drives and sounds great and tracks perfect with no sway to one side and is tight. Seems the city did take good care of it and only found one issue...

    No HID would be illegal to install. They are just H4 headlights in glass housings from LMC truck with the headlight harness to take the load off the fuse panel. They are very bright over Silver Star lights that I have used in the past. So that will tell you they are allot better over stock...

    Well I had a shocking surprise when I removed the rear A/C cover panel, found out there was a fire back that at one point in the past. Does not look like it was from the A/C unit as there are no melted wires or any signs of damage inside the unit. There are also two scared marks in the front of...

    Update 11-01-12 I added the CUCV antennas and painted the door jams black. I still have to paint the antenna brackets, but they are in and set. Thank you to Blueduce for the one CUCV bracket, I did not use it on this but will be adding it to my M1009. The antennas I bought from beltfed34 a...

    Thanks and your welcome on the pictures. Touch up is a breeze with flat vehicles like this, if you scuff it just sand it down and paint it with a$1 foam brush. Yes, wheel wells will be painted black and will also try to paint as much of the under side I can get to. It is a long process to...

    More progress today painting the brush guard and engine bay black where there was white. Also installed the car stereo and put the dash back together after cleaning it of all the dirt and dust. Getting close to be able to start driving it, hopefully with in the next week. As long as I can get...

    My 1990 GMC Suburban CUCV clone AKA: M1007 or M1029

    Made some progress on it today, painted the front door handles, mirrors and gutters black and installed them. The handles and mirrors I had from a parts CUCV so the chrome handles were not painted. I still need to get three more non-chromes for the rear doors. I also painted the roof and...
