Did he give you the hood ornament? I sanded and painted that carefully

Very nice. I see that it has a hole in the hood where the Chevrolet hood emblem was. That hood was off of a 1986 Chevrolet Suburban that was fully equipped, and it was the only highly optioned Suburban I ever seen that had a factory 4 speed granny low 4 Speed in it. It had every option...

Organizing and sorting out my stash. Came across some rare CUCV items. Arctic grille and tailgate cover. OEM items from a huge attic kit that was on an M1009 I bought years ago. Everything else was pretty much trashed. Oil pan and transmission pan were rusted thru. The roof cover was so rotten...

I brought this thread back up because i received an Email about the M1009 to mini pick-up conversion. This was my Mule and I used it many years. I hope it is still on the road and making someone happy. I hope you find the idea of the rear cargo area interesting, and it helps you achieve similar...

After a long time in storage the parts to convert an M1009 into a pickup truck and look stock have been sold. I posted a few of my M1009 parts on Facebook market and received a lot of attention and have sold the softback hard top conversion. I don't see me going that route again. and I also have...

Good news. I have a guy wanting me to do a conversion. he wants the M1009 Mule conversion. I don't have the heart to tell him the price, parts and labor involved. I done it on my own time like cutting wood or mowing grass. I never gave it any thought as to the time and material needed. Glad to...

Still looking great. Thank you. I hope it runs as great as it did when I sold it to you. That was always a top running machine. Very reliable. Be Safe.

I received an email asking about my M1009 Mule build. Someone couldn't find it and wanted to do something similar. When I get done with my current build I am taking an M1009 to a local body shop and having them cut the entire roof from it. I have all the parts from a 1974 K5 Blazer that was...

I have recovered this thread because a few people are asking questions in PM's about what happened to my short bed M1009. As I like to call it the Mule. It was returned to M1009 OEM specs and sold. My Mule M1009 cash was rolled over into a much needed tractor. Happy Holidays. Be Safe.

90Jimmy Check out post 201 that will solve the black window crank.

I am closing out this thread on my part. The Mule M1009 is gone. But never forgotten. Here are some pictures of it in the past. I hope it never regresses backwards again. I will keep it out of the hands of the PANG. I know the new owner will appreciate the time and effort I spent on keeping it...

All finished and ready for delivery. This was a reverse transformation. From the short bed Mule M1009 pick-up to the stock M1009. Thanks for looking. I hope it helped some of you. I am ready to let go of this CUCV. I think some one else deserves to have it and enjoy it as much as I did. Have a...

This is where I started this AM. With a shell of a gate mounted and adjusted. Inside of gate after installing the tracks I made with the TrimLoc. Gate is all installed and window assembly is operational. Used gate cables and cable guide springs.

I am still wondering how that picture ended up here.

The intention and effort was there and plenty of ambition. But the rain falling and the dampness where to much to handle. the Lazy Boy just looked like the place to be. Tomorrow is another day. I can not do excellent work out in the rain. Partly sunny is tomorrows forecast.

Rain is slowing me down. I have a shop full of M1008 and M1009 and no room to work inside. But the weekend looks promising. Got to get rolling have a new owner that is excited for his truck. I understand but can't rush and cut corners. Only done right is right. Not fast at all. And not slow...

Painted a lot of small parts and rebuilt the guides. these are much better then the Chinese replacements they currently market. Cleaning the old ones and fixing them takes about an hour. I have a set in my M1009 for 8 years now. Still smooth and no felt bunching in the bottom. The key is to keep...

I was out a little earlier today.Rebuilding the rear window runs and getting a chrome tailgate handle ready for paint. More later. I have paint drying.

More progress. heading in the right direction. Soon the M1009 will be in someone else's care. I like it that way. I have so many projects and a few I am neglecting. Time to get working. I will post more later. Gotta Run. Enjoy the pictures. It's a Simple Task.

De Muleing the Mule M1009. Great progress. For your viewing pleasure.I like painting outside on such a nice day.
