Got me a M1009 to put the dana 60 and 14 bolt FF in:)

[jkade]

I had bought a m1008 back in Feb but it had wiring problems so I put the running gear in my 86 1/2 ton but it is to straight a truck to put on the trails. I am waiting on the EUC before I can go pick it up, said it didn't run but I have a parts truck to make it run, only 73XXX original miles too. So I am going to put the axles, 6" lift and the 37's under the 1009 and put the 1009 stuff back under my 86. This should be a good weekend project I should end up with a mean little off roader though. Maybe I can go get her before the end of Jan

There is a butt load of them for sale on gov liquidation, seems the military is getting rid of all them and the trucks. You would be mad if I told you what I paid for it becasue I wasn't paying what they bring on ebay which is 2 to 3 time more than what I paid for mine.

You will love running that Blazer. I am fortunate that my job has provided me with one to use. I love it.

Man that is one sweet CUCV. I'd love to have one but unfortunately all the depots selling on govliquidation are not in Texas. One day...one day!

Seeing a pic you posted back last year is what give me the fever to get one You still running the diesel? What size lift and tires do you have? That is one sweet cucv

When I got it I was told it had a rod knockin,the starter was missin also and I had a FI gas engine to go in it so I never tried to start it.When I pulled the conv cover all the converter bolts but one was layin in it.So I figured that was the rod knock.

I'm running a shackle flip in the rear and four inch Rancho springs in the front,it is just a mix of different things.I had to do a little fender trimmin also.The tires are 38.5-15.50-16.5's.

We rode Sat in Harlan KY and it got beat up pretty good,was pretty nice two years ago when I put it together.

Oh, if I only had some extra cash laying around.

BTW, if you have a spare M1009 fuel tank and skid plate laying around, I'm interested in buying one.

She is a Beast How many times have you broke something with the 60 and 14 bolt?

[1-tonmudder]

None yet,but I drove a little conservative.

I got my paid in full invoice today. It only took 22 days to get my first EUC back so I was suprised to see the email when I got home. I am going to call tomorrow and see if I can go get it Thrus of Fri. Maybe I can get it running this weekend and tare it apart next weekend

[jkade]

Well I got everything under it. I need some H1's so I can get them ugly aluminum wheels off. Those wheels look pretty good on my other truck but I hate them on the blazer.

[Prerunner1982]

Right on.... looks good.
