Howdy: congrats on going back to work. I too am a Union wireman. I have been out of work since Dec. I would like to get back to work so I can resume cleaning up my M1008. Good Luck. Tom

I like the visor and the non standard hood. Good to hear your back to work soon. Im in a union, airline mechanic. Still it is up to the company whether they are going to treat and pay us well. The company says the **** with us it doesnt matter that we have a union.

My buddy across town does the same job, different company and different union and makes 20K more a year, I was too dumb to go over there 15 years ago. Airline seniority system prevents job change at this point.

Nice looking truck.
My vote is to keep the visor and the hood.

 

[brackecw]

The hood and visor, well they are kind of 1980's touches and this is 2010. Can't really boast about a 200 hp diesel in your truck anymore . . .

BTW, welcome to the IBEW, brother.

I like the cowl hood and the visor...not very military but they look cool!

 

[joeypushjr1]

thats what i was thinking the hood makes the truck look alitte meaner.. and thanx on the back to work thing. ive allways said id never go union cause you hear some many horroe stories. about them working you just under your time to become a member and lay you off and soo on . and they have some many sitting laid off now and when bring you on lay you off right away . but i actually have a contractor to go to and they have plenty work from what there telling me . ive been in a merit shop non union for 10 yrs now and well needles to sya of everyone ive contacted nobody has work so i tucked my tail and went union. hope it turns out better then all the stories.. but back on track i think majority rule here ill keep the visor and keep yalll updated on my progress wonce i start. the truck .. thanx..

I also like the visor. The hood needs stencils on the sides: Induction, Mil spec.

Nice to see a different looking M1009.

I like the visor and the cowl hood as well.

I've been thinking of adding a visor to mine to help keep it from getting so hot in there.

 

[Aurora]

i think it looks good. i think a new coat of green will make it look even better. btw i'm the guy that bought your deuce.

 

[joeypushjr1]

ahhhh i was wondedring when id find you on here george. hows it doing . now that its warm it should be starting up real good. lol

 

[Heavysteven]

Just my thoughts and it is your truck. However, I vote for removing both, I just don't feel it with the visor and hood. As always I would paint 3 color CARC camo, just love the camo.

Good to hear your working.

 

[Aurora]

she starts up real fast now. i changed the filters and oil. also found a blown fuse in the in tank fuel pump.

 

[joeypushjr1]

blown fuse huh? that would explain my slow starting when it was cold out. .. so you wanna get rid of that 1008 you have lol.. i like how it sits. looks mean

 

[Aurora]

thanks for the complement but sorry not looking to sell. i'm actually in the process of working on the front end. i'm rebuilding the knuckles and replacing the axle u-joints. i hope to have that finished up this weekend so i can drive it again.

Looks good as is but I would cover the cowling Turbo banks stuff and add a more mil looking stencil.
