I am guessing that to title and use on State roadways the original use as a MV must be adhered to. Maybe the State does not want to have gypsy carryvans with LED lights.:rules:

Welcome from Missouri! Tlurcero do you have a Military Truck yet?

Alright, now to go for a little light driving. And find out how she rides, and drives. Are you really excides? :driver:

. Threw the dice and came up craps.... Well it happens, and now what is your next play? 400 :carnac:

Thanks for the heads up on the Green Iron pigpen60! It really helps the guys that maybe close enough to get parts. Plus Salvage Yards are like a Picasso masterpiece.

And most salvage yards have, use Hollander interchange manuals.

Measure the length of tube from flange to flange. Call salvage yard and tell them what truck you have, length of tube.

Shankem-Deep, does the truck still have the glow plug card under the dash?

I have had good luck with LMC in the past on other parts, never tried locksets as they are still available at most auto parts stores. On civilian trucks it takes two different types of keys to use both doors and starting ignition on steering column. On the CUCV the original key works both doors...

Well again the Green Iron makes a Great showing for MV of the month. I am kind of surprised that campaigning this month has not reached the two page mark. I would bet that the Brigade would love to see some more pictures? Thanks to the participating members and voters for taking the time to...

Welcome from Missouri! Looks to be in good condition and complete truck from the photo posted. What is the lifted Ford in the foreground?

Wow I bet you made that Guys day. The equipment you had is hard to find in having it so complete. You are happy and he is also, good deal. The antenna and brackets can be used for CB radio's after conversion. If you do some off roading or on roading the CB does come in handy.

I will add since they are sending pictures, are that the pictures are recent and not 10 years ago.

Just to add on to what Tracer said, I will use a 3m product called Drip Check for body seems around sheet metal joints, been used by the car makers for years. The product works great for me, I use it around door edges allot as the old stuff wears out after 25 30 years and needs to be refreshed.

Nice looking truck! A great group of Guys here that will give very good advice and steer you through any hardship encountered. With the young Troopers you have it may be a good accessory to get a set of steps or ladder for the back of your M923. Welcome and good rubber, brakes and fluids keep...

Maybe a few more pictures as well will help most of the other Troops in their assessment as well.

Welcome DeDHaze from Missouri! If the truck has not had the speedometer replaced then 90,000 is a few miles on a CUCV. The few things to look at are the transmission dipstick level and smell of the fluid. What does the power steering box seals look like? Does the trans, transfer case look like...

Having access to another CUCV is going to be very helpful for your repairing or verifying what is original or modified. Hopefully the 1028 is an original truck and to be able to use as a pattern. Hopefully you can continue to keep your truck as original as possible. Parts are still available...

Check the pos cable to the starter solenoid. Check the purple wire going to the solenoid. Are they tight? How long has it been since the starter has been serviced? Brushes and bushings do not last forever and the symptoms you list would cause some of the same problems.

Less torque is needed with higher numerical gears to have a better mechanical advantage. Transmission gearing is a compromise of having the best gear speed for optimum advantage of the available torque. I would say that if you ask any trucker what is the biggest factor in driveability he will...
