    Pics from floor replacement on M1009

    When I got this thing from Columbus the rear window was broken out. The floor was soaked. The rest of the truck is great rust wise but the wet floor mats really did a number on the floor. I uses LMC truck replacement panels and never will again. They are similar but not quite...

    What battery are you guys using?

    I use 6tls. When I got my first M1009 it had no batteries and I had two 6tls that were dry. I filled them with acid and put them in. I probably should have saved them for when the deuce batteries go belly up but the were already bought. I took them out and put in some cheap batteries when I sold...

    My CUCV

    That thing looks great. If you do not want the antenna mounts and stuff you should be able to get some fair money for them.

    24v to 12v Question - Which Wire

    The one thing I feel a need to add is converting the 24 volt system to 12 volt will not make the truck any easier to diagnose because you are not converting to the civilian 12 volt system. You are making an entirely new system that is just a modified military system. You will still have some...

    Electronic light switch?

    I hate to drop a "search" answer but we have fought this out in length before. I got one that was fried. I replaced the relays and it has worked fine for over two years. The three lever stays in the tool box just in case.

    Help please with m146 TRL Questions

    In Michigan you can get a new to you vehicle home without a plate. I am not sure about the procedures for getting a temp tag but you could do so at a Michigan Secretary of State office. There is one in Lansing. They do allow temp tags for vehicles that are being purchased to be taken out of...

    Paint/Body work

    The carc is known for fading. The black is almost impossible to match with new paint. The brown and green weather better but still would look wrong if new paint were up against old.

    cucv radio wiring

    The wiring is pretty common I think. I had them on two of my cucv's but one I had did not have one. The racks are uncommon but not rare. The passenger's side rack is most common with the drivers rack being less common. They come up from time to time on ebay. I would keep them or pass them on...

    Help please with m146 TRL Questions

    The trailer will hook to a civy truck but they should take off the mud guards so they do not catch on the landing gear. It is tight. You must change the lights to 12 volt but you also need to make an adaptor to match the military connection to the civy connection. The civy tractor out put splits...

    Brake Bleeding Lesson (The Hard Way)

    I have a commercial pressure bleeder that has connections for late model Fords and one for my CUCV. I made a connector to adapt it to the deuce. It is just like a bug sprayer but has a built in pressure gauge so you do not pump it up too much. You must be very careful when using a pressure...

    Fuel Filter Heater leak - help

    I think you need the whole filter base. If I remember correctly they go bad often and need replacement. I may be wrong and someone else that has had it apart can chime in.

    trailer cover - can you glue the vinyl cover?

    I have used adhesive and a handy stitcher on my top to repair one of the super rope mounting tabs that came apart.

    Registration change for Bob?

    This is a sticky situation and I am sure I will ruffle feathers but you asked. If you bob a deuce you have sufficiently changed it from its original configuration that you need to get it retitled as a home built vehicle. This would require inspections and a state issued vin number. I have seen...

    Need M151 moved from Atlanta GA to Michigan or closer to Michigan

    I think no matter what I should have transportation covered. I just need to scrape together the cash. Uship bids are running $350-$425 if this is the worst case then I should be able to afford shipping it. I will post when I know if I have it or not.
