    Chevy 4x4 Dump (K30) Recovered

    I am in search of a K30 chassis cab with either a contractors (mason) dump or flatbed dump. Would like something I can use all these CUCV parts on. Not really interested in a 6.2 or a stick but would consider one. Attached is something along the lines of my needs. I also have an M1010 for...

    M1010 Dually

    Greetings folks! I am trying to find a thread where someone posted that they have a CUCV ambulance and it had a cab and chassis dually rear axle. I have been searching the site and google for some time now and I can't find it. I thought I saved the pic but sure can't find it now. Anyone...

    Contact Truck Exterior Work Lights. (M1031)

    Folks, I'm looking for ideas on lighting the contact truck up. I currently have some inexpensive side mount LEDs on the box but looking to expand. Right now I have a 24" Ibis Tek HID bar that I'm planning to use along with a pair of Whelen Pioneer floods. I still have route clearance lights...

    CUCU style starting system on 12V truck.

    Weighing some options here on a truck. I am considering getting a crew cab and would like to go to 24V starting. On a stock CUCV, there is that pesky relay under the dash. As most know, the truck uses 12V to energize a relay (doghead) that then connects and provides 24V. Is there any good...

    Folks, anyone coming through this area with space for a SnapOn roll cab? I will only buy it if I can arrange a ride.

    Off Road Design Engine Crossmember

    I am looking for any and all feedback on this crossmember and its use on any CUCV. I'm on the verge of pulling an oil pan and doing this crossmember may ease my time on my back. http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/enginecrossmember.htm

    Oil Pressure has left the building.

    Good or bad luck, I'm not certain. The other day I started the SECMish CUCV to be treated to a big red idiot light telling the idiot that there is an oil pressure problem. Today I finally switched out the sender but still had a warning light. Hooked up a gauge and confirmed the worse. Odd that...

    Ibis Tek vs Route Clearance Lights

    Greetings folks. I have one of the smaller Ibis Tek HID light bar. With the price coming down on route clearance lights I'm wondering which one would be best/brightest. I know the Ibis Tek has the IR LED but that's not as important as the regular lights.

    CUCV Instrument Cluster Questions

    Well, finally underway with the trans swap on my SECM. When I pulled the cluster out I was greeted with a destroyed printed circuit. New one is being shipped in. The question is can I start this sucker up to move it across the yard? Thanks

    M116A3 axle trade?

    So, I have this trailer made of M101A1 and M116A3 parts I've been using to move stuff to GA. Long story short, it has a custom axle that has a 6 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern to use M1009 rims. It does not have any brakes whatsoever. I am looking to see if anyone on the east coast might want to swap an...

    Had one on the Stretcher Today.

    Doing a friend a favor. The 4L80E in this CUCV went away. Delivered it to a family member of the owner about 75 miles down the road. Bolts had no issue dragging down the turnpike.

    6.2 Broken Crankshaft Revisited.

    12 hours in the saddle alone gives you plenty to think about stuff. Whilst running the CUCV pretty tight I was considering some issues. Now let me preface this by saying that I am not metallurgist and certainly not an engineer. I do have a little common sense and horse sense. On the subject of...

    CUCV Roadtrip Today

    So today I took a little 726 mile ride in the "Bucket of Bolts" SECM with the trailer salad in tow. Transported personal items from S FL to my N GA retirement home. The SECM was converted from an M1008 and I don't know where to start on the trailer. Let's say it was purpose built from stuff...

    Saying Farewell to an Old Friend

    So, back in about Oct 2005 I drug home an M108. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?2875-Call-me-Mr-M108&highlight=m108 It has been a mainstay here at the house all these years. Only God knows how many hundreds of thousands of pounds it's lifted. Back in 2013 I traded it to ChevyC60...

    4.56 vs 4.10 Gears

    I have an opportunity to select either gear ratio for my contact converted M1008. I would normally advise folks to just stay with the 4.56 but there are other factors pulling me towards the swap. At 2800rpm, I would gain 6 MPH. My concern is losing acceleration and towing capacity. Has anyone...

    CUCV Auto vs Manual Trans

    Folks, looking for some real world experience with folks who have driven 6.2 powered trucks with a stick and a comparison between both. I have 99% of the stuff I need to do a swap. At one point the swap was needed for a PTO but now the need is gone. I'm still considering it so that I may teach...
