    The Wife is Screamin, For Joy or Pain, I can,t tell

    For the cost of the manual you might just take it to Fedex or Staples etc and print the PDF out. Then you can get the pages all dirty and replace as needed. I just print them out at my job, but I understand not everyone can do that. For the cost of a ream of paper it might be a wash to buying...

    The Wife is Screamin, For Joy or Pain, I can,t tell

    If you lived within 100 miles of me I would come work on your truck for free just to get my hands on it and I would gladly show and help you learn along the way. Are you a member of a local chapter of the MVPA? If not you should be. Then you'll find someone who may want to work with you on...

    1984 CUCV M1009 build thread

    Why would you want to replace the back up lights on a cucv? They are already there and usually work fine unless you have some problem with them?

    Replacement seats for M1009

    Why not just get seats out of a K5 blazer 1982-1988 should be the exact same seat.

    M37 + mercedes What do you think?

    I had looked into one of those and thought it would work well except for the oil pan may give you fits fitting the motor in with cross member and the front axle. But I think you should be able to get around that with a little engineering. Good find!

    master cylinder upgrade without proportioning valve?

    Yeah what mkcoen said.... It's my understanding that proportioning valves are used when you have a mix of disk and drums. Since you said your all drums I think your good to go....I think.

    new owner

    That's an original military hard top. There is fiberglass insulation between the inner steel panels and the outer steel. If you do a restoration you might want to take the inner panels out and check the fiberglass. Critters have been known to live in there. Truck is very nice too!

    The Wife is Screamin, For Joy or Pain, I can,t tell

    Wow...what a great find! A Chevy tipper with original bed. Motor could be a 270 or even a 302 but I'd just leave it in and paint it OD. Only true die hards are going to know it's not "right". It's a great find and even just making it driveable and getting it OD with white stars will impress most...

    Aftermarket Turbo install versus 700R4 transmission swap...

    I'd say do both, but if you can't then on the M1009 I would opt for the turbo over the 700r4.

    Foreign made HMMWV copy

    If something works people are going to copy it. Look at the M60 machine gun...look at the Mg42 machine gun....very similar and in this case we were the ones doing the coping.

    Master Cylinder Question

    The manual will give you boat loads of information in a simple to understand format that will help you work on the vehicle and get it running.

    4dr cucv?

    I kind of like the F250 in the one picture. Kinda looks like my 93 I had cept that mine was green and two door. Wish I had never listen to my wife on getting rid of that truck. It was a great truck! Bob you should keep on eye on that chebby/gm and if it comes up forsale you should buy it!

    M1028 spin on filter change

    Looks good! I don't see any reason you should be able to bleed it and make it go varoom! Why GM didn't go with a spin on filter in the first place is a mistery to me.

    m108 brake parts

    I would guess the same thing. Bell only clanks when the truck goes in reverese.

    como wire

    A pair of EE8s would could also be correct with the M37 since they were used in Korea and up into the early to mid 60s.

    Allis Chalmers engines

    I bet the motor seeing that it was used in tractors, bulldozers and gen sets would have a lot a power and a lot of grunt to it. The problem may be adapting, but if it was put in farm tractors then maybe making it work in a truck wouldn't be as difficult as thought....no more than say making a...
