Clean it, scuff it and paint out any bare metal. Then use Behr Marque House paint (flat), let her sit in the sun for about 3 weeks and you should be good to go for about 10 years.

Beautiful work, fantastic job !!

It's a bit odd, but I haven't heard from the driver yet. Sent him a text letting him know I am standing by to help, got an acknowledgment, but no comms since. I assume he got things squared away without assistance.

If I was going to do a pushbar, this one looks cool.

There are several small bulbs (194/168) on the back of the gauge cluster. When all are lit, you can see all parts, fuel, speedometer, etc. The ammeter has it's own bulb, so does the heater control panel. I replaced all of mine with Blue LED's and it looked great.

EZGN - Don't know about the white van. Yes, he said he felt a wobble in the truck, slowed down and then all hell broke loose. WWRD99 - Not sure either. Waiting to here from the driver of the M1009 to get more details.

WWRD99, thanks for the parts info. The last time those wheels were touched were at Walmart when the mounted, balanced and installed my new tires.

I guess my question is .... how could this happen. Truck had new axles, new tires, brakes were more than good, etc. There was nothing wrong with the truck. This is an odd failure.

Sorry, I believe he is in the Allentown area. I am waiting for him to chime in on what he needs.

Forwarded to him. Thanks !

Has anyone shipped a CUCV recently? Any recommendations for shipping companies? This one will not go up on the trailer without some sort of help/rigging (maybe a tow dolly?). Will be going from Allentown PA (approx) to Ft Worth Texas.

This is part of the aftermath. Anyone have a spare 30 spline left axle and drum assembly? Gotta get this Marine back to base in short order !

I just replaced my old wiper arms with new ones from Advanced.

Some additional info. Looks like the drivers side rear wheel came loose and he lost control of the truck and then kissed the guard rail. Extent of the damage is not yet known, won't be until morning. May just be a matter of (hopefully) finding the wheel and tire (may be at the side of the...

Fellow SS member (and an active duty Marine) was transporting an M1009 through PA when he lost a rear wheel by exit 49A off Rt 78 about 2 hours ago. I don't have more info as of yet, but is there anyone out there close by who may be able to lend a hand tomorrow or has a suggestion of where the...

That vacuum regulator should be bolted down, two 3/8" (I think) short bolts. You'll need to set up (towards or away from the firewall)), before you tighten everything down.

It will take some time. If you need anything, you know we are here for you.

Yup, I also use 10W40, Mobil One. Truck starts nice, even at -10 !

So, this past Saturday, Feb 4th 2023, it was -10F actual temperature, with the windchill at -31F in my little northeastern corner of CT. I was heading up to NH early in the morning, but I wanted to see if my M1009, after all the work I have done to her, would start in an extremely cold...

I thought the fuel tank in the 1009 holds 25 gallons. Am I wrong?
