Tinstar came thru with a pair to sell me! Thank you Tinstar!!! Would like to get a second pair as "spares", so they don't have to be "pretty", but the adjusting knobs MUST be free (not "frozen") and not torn up from pliers/vice-grips used on them...

"Ouch" - he wants $155 or Best Offer for the handle... And only one left...:cry:

Front seats from a military 1999 Tahoe 2 door CUCV II with 99k miles. Seat bases are freshly painted ("smoke gray"), oiled and greased where needed. These seats do have tears by the hinge (typical GM), small holes and blemishes. They slide nicely, recline, and fold forward for rear seat...

Anyone have a pair of new/used parking brake handles for a M116A2 trailer (the one with 8 lugs - CUCV tires)? My trailer has the MEP003A 10K genset on it and the knobs on mine froze up and I cannot adjust the parking brake cables... The handle needed has a pulley in it, sides are "angle cut"...

Here's one in a town nearby me...

My CUCV "fleet" could use a drink of "fresh" DOT5 brake fluid! Add me please and thank you Dave and Eastern Surplus & Equipment Co. !!! NOTE: Just upgraded to two years patracy - thank you for the discount!

Thanks for the replies guys and the prep tip fuzzytoaster! I "feel" a little bit better knowing I'm not the only one with paint peeling, but annoys me I have "extra" work to do when I get around to re-painting my truck...

I can "vouch" for the flat palm technique...!!! My dryer was leaking and I could not build up air pressure to release the spring brakes (gauges "stuck" at 30 psi and would not build pressure)... Searched for leaks and found the dryer leaking. I put my palm over the air leak and after it built...

So, I started my 1986 M925A0 after a 4 year "nap" (had to slave it off from my M1031 CUCV truck - bad batteries...). Have my M1082 trailer sold, so hitched up to pressure wash it and my 5 ton. Upon pressure washing the 5 ton, I notice several areas of peeling paint under the bed (outside CARC...

I did the same - went the "other" direction to "original" (though chevymike is going to have a nice, personalized camper when he's done...)... That said, mine was missing pads and a couple of "ceiling" litters, brackets, straps, etc. I bought the contents of a M1010 box from John at Hillbilly...

Yes Buck69 - there's always an interest in CUCV electrical parts here... Take some photos and list your 24v items in "Pay it Forward" and "Parts for Sale" If you can remove the 24v wires without cutting them, you be loved "extra"...lol...

My bad on vehicle, good catch Tinstar! No issues with my Silverstars, but yes - depending on the headlight wiring condition, H4s may be too much of a load on stock wiring...

Use a 1984 K-5 Blazer search within Rock Auto to help with part numbers. I used halogen Silvania Silverstar headlights on mine - obviously not as bright as projector headlights, but made a big difference from what my M1009 came with... Also, consider headlight adjustment - maybe your lights...

Good point and another way to "skin the cat"... I lieu of that, next time I'll stuff cotton balls or paper towel in the bottom of the pre-chamber and carefully extract the broken tip... I really did not believe that tip fell in the cylinder - one in a million and I should start playing the...

You just proved that an engine can "survive" if the tip breaks off while running - my case was different with the engine "off"... I was able to pull out the other six with lube and vice grips like you did, just those two would not come out... (even removed the firewall side battery tray to get...
