    Reconfigured CUCV front end with Infa-Red light

    Reconfigured CUCV front end with Infa-Red light

    Did you take a look at those LED BO headlights that we all bought? They won't work on the older stuff. The pattern is different for the screw holes. They will work on the newer 9 series 5 tons. Well one worked on mine. They will also work on a bicycle with a 9 volt battery.

    Reconfigured CUCV front end with Infa-Red light

    At first I mocked it up with the light on the bottom, but after moving some stuff around I liked this look better. The slave port was easy I just turned it over and re bolted it in place. I did have to make a small bracket to secure the bottom to the rad support, but that only took a few...

    4.56 vs 4.10 Gears

    I also have a cab & chassis rear end with a 4.10 set-up. I was going to swap it in to the M1031. The problem was the inside tire would hit the box. I guess I could cut the box. Any thoughts?

    Weird Recovery : Generator Trailer ???

    Picked up this trailer today. It has a huge hobart welder running a generator. The welder has a flathead Willys Jeep engine & it runs. Not sure what vehicle the box came off. M37 or M715 maybe. Fuel door is on the drivers side. Looks like the box is 1968 dated.

    Im not sure. Iv had it up to about 45 so far with no issues. Hasn't moved a bit.

    The way it should have been

    The overall dimensions were only about a inch different. I had to move the middle vertical brace a few inches, and move the forward vertical brace 1 inch. I also had to widen the bows and the front panel 1 inch.
