One Man's Scrap Metal is My Treasure! New CUCV M1009

[CompoundCuckVee]

I haven't posted any pic's of my truck yet, but I've been reading these forums for months now. I just got it back to a good mechanical condition so I figured I'd post some picture I took when I got it in May. I'm not photographer, and didn't have the time to learn how to resize the pictures, so I'll just link to the Flickr Photoset

It's obviously in need of some R&R, But I think I'm up for it. Since the pictures I've installed a new billet grille that runs over the lights, reworked the floorpan, replaced the weatherstripping, and all the fluid/filter combo's you can think of. I went all out with the fluids, and it's running B&M Trick Shift, Lucas Gear Oil, Royal Purple Oil, and a host of other good stuff. I flushed the radiator, rep0laced the windshield, removed the ugly orange beacon and patched that hole, refurbished the seats (sans the back seat; that went out with last weeks trash), and have a ton of plans for it in the future, next up will be the 24 to 12 starter conversion. I'm going for a high torque replacement from Jegs, and two Optima Batteries.

I think that is all so far, let me know what you think!

Ewe, shiny

You should have put the windshield with the built-in antenna on the truck, got rid of that ugly thing secured to the interior roof.

I would go ahead and purchase the 12v starter if you are dead set on conversion. But, I wouldnt bother converting it until your current system has issues.

RE: Here is a picture posting is easy just takes time

actually,that THING on the headliner is the wire for the strobe.

In that last picture it looks like the rear spring shacke hanger is rusted out. And the shackle is no longer attached.
Its not green, But its someplace to start. I'd take it. (cause i don't have any green yet).

yeah that junk on the headliner is the wire for the strobe, thats all gone now. And I did grab a windshield with a built in antenna $40 from the junkyard! I think I'm going to go for some Flat Black though, keeping the interior OD.

OldChev4X4 - I didn't even notice the shackle, good spot. I'm gunna check on that tomorrow.
