Papa always said, any job worth doing, is worth doing 100%. I feel that he would be proud.

Well, that is the million dollar question. My son was driving it while I was at the GA rally. I have my suspicions. First let me explain this. The lockout hubs are engaged 95% of the time. Where this truck sits, 4wd is required to get it out. My son had reported a vibration in the transmission...

Speaking of 14 bolts, this pic from last week.

Nevermind, found this in the spare parts bin. Actually, thanks to John of Hillbilly Wizard for sending me this takeout case for a fair price. Couple of carnage pics as well.

Does anyone know if JB weld will work on a 208 transfer case? Mine was leaking and I found the source.

No worries Kenny. I've not pulled the plug on ordering one yet. I'm thinking the 18,000# winch might be too much winch.

Is JT still reproducing these?

Shackles off the back of a 5 tonner should work as well. I've not seen a commercial substitute.

Here are the parts that disintegrated in the gov bomb.

Bob, if I ever get my computer running, I'll post a pic. It was a GL auction when they just took over the contract. It was a row of 888s in front of 3 V17A/MTQs. Rare stuff indeed.

I think you will enjoy the 1010. I've used mine plenty for road trips and camping. It's mostly sat the last few years. Hoping someone else assumes it. As mentioned, that duvac is the biggest Achilles Heel and it sounds like yours is fixed. Enjoy your travels. Couple of pics of mine.

Let me add that your kinda a step ahead. With the spindle nut still on, you might be able to use that and a thread file to clean up the threads. Thread file is lots cheaper that a 2" die.

Yet another on my radar. https://www.rlcweldfab.com/collections/chevy-bumpers/products/custom-winch-bumper-for-chevy-gmc-trucks-1973-1987 I think this could compliment the CUCV if you added the factory brush guard. I had querried them on one of these to mount my MRAP winch on my CUCV. They...

Go to post #264 in this thread. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?27571-CUCV-Build-Here-We-Go-Again/page7 You will see Mike's take on a bumper mount that was tastefully done.

In the 70s Vic Hickey created the Sidewinder winch. They are a rare and sought out commodity. Only available in 12V, they are ideal for hidden mounting. Mounting kits are like hens teeth but can be fabricated. I have one in the basement for a future project.

Hopefully he means CUCV.

U Pick yards are a good idea. Let me add this. Later model (88 up body style) have metric studs. Not a big deal unless you don't find out until your trying to bolt on the tires.

Is the 888 the telephone maintenance body?

Don't scrap it yet. I might have a deal for you. I have the back half of an M1008. Bought it for the frame section and rear axle. I was going to part out the axle as I needed the locker. The major drawback is that the rear is in NC and I'm limited in my ability to fetch it.

Thanks John. I need to install that transfer case I got from you in my SECM before I can think about the 1010.
