From my view, this does not appear to be any CUCV variant...rather seems to be a GSA build which simply means it's a commercial cab-chassis with no NATO compatibility modifications. I think your intended use will still be just fine. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I treated it like any other vehicle engine compartment, since it's the engine that makes the mess. Started with the auto store foaming degreaser, which never work anyways. Transitioned to Meguiars/3D Super Degreaser and a pressure washer, even that took a few rounds to get all the muck out. I...

Painless Wiring is a company that specializes in re-wiring for older vehicles, they have wiring harnesses that range from generic to full-custom. They have their contact information on their website. Tell them your factory fuse block has failed and you are looking for a replacement, they will...

Those are fantastic machines, and there's a plethra of parts availability and support in the world for them. Their fuel consumption should be on par with the 10K Cummins-Onan units (which is really good by most opinions), and I'd wager they're quieter than a MEP. If you're a welder either by...

I vote...clean house on this thread of our discussion shenanagains...leave the 3 page PDF alone unless you want to give it a big long discreptive name...clean house on the duplicate TMs. For the record: I truly enjoy the community on this forum! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

For pg 1, you're absolutely correct. However, pg 2 details replacement of the IP without removing the front cover...and pg 3 details IP timing. I fear leaving it alone as-is might be the best since there's no best way to label it...but I'm not a Mod, so not my decision to make. Tho may I...

@Guyfang tough call. It's a 3 page PDF with different info on each page, none of which I've come to find in the TM yet. Don't know what the right answer is. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

For anyone in the future that may find this thread in their searches...the adjustment of the set/stop screws and clocking of the IPs that @forlexinotme deduced are spot on with a TB released by Lister-Petter circa 1994, it is available with all the rest of the manuals in the TM section. Though...

I dig it. Badass unit right there. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I keep two Hannay cord reels mounted aft of the fender wells, sourced from the 803/UPS Gensets. The left reel has 100' 50A 3-phase cable (from the UPS sets) terminated with their original cannon plugs...I have severe doubts I'd ever need it, but there's no rules when it comes to contingency...

While I'm not an Electrician, I'm staying at a Holiday Inn Express next week. This is my best understanding, no promises...YMMV. I went down this same rabbit hole when I first got my 802...took a while for everything to marinate into the ol' noggin. My greatest emphasis in my learning curve is...

I second this motion...Deoxit is some amazing sauce, I've been pleasantly surprised every time I use it. Reccomend a soak and multi-cycle treatment to the other rotary switches while you're there, it's like WD-40 for switches/contacts! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I second this if you're going to abandon your dummy light, tho I'll add a piggyback. IIRC there's a spot on each head for the factory temp sensor...I presume the TM should guide you to the factory temp sensor/switch in fairly short order. Based on the locations/access and your preferences, you...

While you're in there, I recall the ignition switch being in the lower part of the column...not a horrible idea to change that out for good measure since you're already in that deep. Also re-greasing the bearings is a no-brainer once you have them clean, there's spring/bearing rebuild kits...

It looks to me like the turn signal switch housing broke. Fairly easy fix, have to pull the wheel to get to it. Parts easily available from any parts store, or from a Squarebody catalog last time I did one.shouldnt be more than a couple hours work, you'll need a steering wheel puller. Sent from...

Love this! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

The speedos in Squarebodies were known to need a rebuild from time to time...nowhere near as bad as the later electronic types with notoriously plagued stepper motors. When I was in high school I had a local speedometer tech rebuild the head in my '75...he was a mobile guy. Rebuilt & greased...

A couple companies make Jeep-like soft tops for pickup beds. My wife had one on her Tacoma for years. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

I stand corrected! Please stand by while I go throw really big rocks at my POL buddies who gave me bad info. My bad, sorry Coach...hopefully the rest of the junk I typed isn't bad also.
