Definitely Different I count 5 colors. Black, brown, cream or tan and two shades of green. Stands out for sure.

Buy the Snap-On Injector socket if you can find it. I bought a brand new one on eBay. Works perfect and will not damage threads, etc.

How does one start a CUCV quietly?

Closed the front and back gates and it was ready to receive empty concrete bags. We were installing new fencing and it was a windy day. As we emptied the bags, they were tossed in trailer so they wouldn’t blow away. Worked like a charm. Trailer gets painted this summer.

His cards are top quality. You will not be disappointed.

Standard red DOT reflective tape on the flat areas will help a lot too.

You definitely get what you pay for in tires. I’m running Coopers on the CUCV because it doesn’t see any long highway duty. Longest trip I usually make for supplies is less than 20 miles. They suite the job I need them to do very well,’which is Ranch Duty. Excellent grip on both loose and...

The BGGs are good and also the Michelin All Terrains Have the Michelin’s ATs on two of my trucks now. Excellent tire. Extremely happy with them. On my Ranch CUCV, I went with the Cooper AT3. They have proven to be a much better tire than I expected.

Any updates?

If starter hasn’t been rebuilt in a while or never, I would recommend having it rebuilt. It’s already off the truck if you’re testing it. Don’t forget to use new starter bolts and that the front bracket is installed.

Members in the Phoenix area might be able to refer you to a shop that can properly do the job. Quite a few guys have done the seal replacement themselves. Since truck has been converted to 12v, your kinda on your own in that area since no one knows what exactly was done to the electrical...

What preventive items are you referring to? Oil change? New axle bearings? ??? Part of the fun of owning a CUCV is learning how to maintain them yourself. Their fairly easy to work on, and once you understand the 12/24 system, it’s not bad at all. The resources here and available member help...

ACDelco still makes the side marker socket. Edit: I think this is the correct shifter socket. “Shift light indicator socket” Also made by ACDELCO.

Truck looks in decent shape. Is a Repaint in its future? That red is definitely........Red. Great score on the pumper unit.
