In case anyone wondered what their dash looks like without all the foam and vinyl. If I were doing a show expedition vehicle I would just clear coat it.

would like to see that dash painted then put blanks on the backside where the round holes are in a different color. paint it OD green with black fillers on the underside for a green and black dot pattern dash.

Now I'm sorry I pitched my old dashpad. That screams to have some extra fab work done and installed with clear or paint only.

Patched a rust hole behind my drivers side door and coated the corners of my cab inside with cosmoline type product.

Monday I noticed the water in fuel light stayed on. So I did some research, easy fix. Tuesday I tried to start it and drain the filter. No go. Too late. Engine will not run on water despite the fact it's made out of oxygen and hydrogen. Pulled the filter off, drained it, learned how to prime it via trial and error. After about 2 hours I got it to start. Runs fine. Now I need to overhaul the starter which will not turn over when very hot.

I recently changed my fuel filter for the first time. Found a video on You Tube that saved me much aggravation.

Dude... Read the manual. It's #8 below.

cucvdash.JPGcucvdash2.JPG

If you click on the highlighted word "manual" above, it's a link to the manual, which you can bookmark, download, print, etc. The highlighting tells you it's a link.

There are 5 basic CUCV manuals. The -10 tells you how to operate it. The -20 tells you basic maintenance. The -30 is more advanced maintenance. The -20P and -30P manuals are parts used at the 20 and 30 level.

Folks will respond with much more enthusiasm if you read the manuals and do a search before asking questions.
