That would definitely explain the extra holes. It wouldn't be that difficult to make new struts to even go beyond what you have to snug up the top...I have seen a few CUCV covers floating around, but I don't think any of them were priced below $500....new struts might only be a 10-15 foot piece...

Thats what the big fella standing on the tailgate is for LOL...the human handrail (and he can catch a falling wine taster too!)

The holes on my struts where the ones that are indented. Originally, it looks like there was a plastic sleeve in each of the holes to guide the bolt in though the bracket on the bed rail, but not sure if they had those same sleeves for the extension holes as well. The lower hole on your picture...

Here is my wine tasting ladder

I almost fell over when I saw this. I fitted the very same ladder on the back today. I will post a picture of it tomorrow.

My struts only had one hole to pin them to length. It put them at the full extension for the top. My biggest issue was not having the center limiting strap. I went to HB and picked up a pair of the 1 inch by 12-foot cam straps and connected them into one big loop and did an approximate height...

I have been working on installing a troop seat kit and a cargo cover on the M1028. I am still waiting on some parts to finish up the last 2 seats and I still need to remove and paint the seat slats on a few of the seats. I installed the cargo cover hardware and got that on today. All things...

I guess that qualifies as an oh S--- moment?

The missing one was probable taken from the train in LA...have you guys seen that mess??

So, we went to AutoZone to return the motor mounts. We asked about looking at any mounts they had in stock for 80's Chevy trucks. The guy had mounts for an 82 1 ton truck and they had some in stock. The guy brought one out and we compared that to the old one from my CUCV.....exact fit. Weird...

Thank you...someone has been in this engine before then as we found exhaust manifold gaskets on it (one was leaky and ticking). We got really lucky as all of exhaust the bolts came out without issue (or breaking). We do have some leaks from the valve covers and need to get them off. I agree that...

yes...BF Goodrich all terrains

And so it begins....... Drivers side and a replacement Passenger side The driver's side didn't look too bad stacking up against the replacement, but the passenger side was really bad.....This is going to be a long weekend. The boys and I are going to change out the water pump and fuel...

Today she got some new shoes

Really would like to see pictures of the troop seats when your done...Looks awesome

So after spending the better part of 2 months refreshing my M1028, I figured it was time for my maiden voyage. Drove from Sacramento to Las Vegas to Yermo and back to Sacramento,. Knowing I was looking at 55MPH or so max speed, I took the scenic route down the back side of the Sierras on 395...
