    *SOLD* Military M1028 CUCV Shelter Carrier Hardware

    The M1028 was an even heavier CUCV variant designed as a shelter carrier. I won't be using the carrier brackets/hardware for my project truck. I'm including a photo of the brackets/hardware included, and also one of them installed on the bed for reference. These would work great for a...

    *SOLD* Clean '85 Fleetside long bed sheet metal (bed floor, front bed panel & wheelhouses)

    I have a bed floor, front bed panel and wheelhouses from a 1985 military M1028 CUCV (K30). The underside of the bed is still black paint in nice condition. This truck had a communications shelter with its own floor, so the sheet metal was much more protected than a typical military truck/work...

    OEM dual gas/fuel tanks, valve, hardware, etc. (1985 C10)

    I pulled the dual fuel tanks, hangers, valve, protective valve "shield", etc. off the essentially rust-free North Carolina 1985 GMC 1/2-ton rolling chassis I bought for my project truck. Filler necks/hoses are also included, but one is missing the fill cap. The rubber parts are old/dry, but...

    '85 C10 tire fit/stuff question (not the normal questions you're used to seeing here)

    A quick background before asking my question... I came from 20 years in the Jeep world, and have always loved low-COG builds with minimal-to-no-lift and big tires. It drives me a little nuts to see vehicles lifted higher than they need to be for a given tire size (I see it daily here in East...

    '73-87 Flat Bed from OEM Fleetside floor?

    Question... Has anyone ever built a flatbed for their square body using the OEM bed floor as a basis for the flatbed? I have a rust-free bed from my military M1028 CUCV (see my CUCV/'C10 build HERE), but a 112-mph wind event this week knocked my bed off some concrete blocks, and folded the...

    Energy Suspension body mount bushings feedback (P/N 34116G)

    I just installed Energy Suspension body/cab/radiator core support bushings on my '85 Square Body project. Because I had to browse through dozens of threads before buying, most of which weren't first-hand purchase/installation experience, I thought I'd post some info here for future member...

    14-bolt FF aftermarket diff cover replacement

    Rather than post in the almost-1300-post "What did you do to your square lately??" thread, I thought I'd post my experience with a Yukon HD diff cover and LubeLocker gasket install on my '86 M1008/K30. All fluids on the truck were changed by the previous owner of my truck - and verified...

    Bed mounting hardware question (specific to '85-'86-ish 1/2-ton Fleetside long bed models)

    I just received a bed/frame mount hardware kit from LMC (P/N 30-0120). I added a diagram from LMC's site, and also photo that looks similar to what I received (photo courtesy of Brothers Trucks). My question is regarding the two (2) longer bolts, which are 10 1/2" long. I'm installing a...

    Are 2WD & 4WD front frame horns/bumper brackets the same?

    I have a couple CUCVs, one of which is a stripped-down '85 M1028 (K30). Despite the surface rust on the hood & fenders, the body & frame are still very clean (black paint on the underside of the body, and very little surface rust on the frame). I'll be building out this truck as a super...

    East Tennessee intro (Jeep convert to Square Body Chevy military trucks)

    Hi all. I'm new to this forum, but not to wrenching/DIY vehicle builds. My dad got me into wrenching with a '57 Chevy Bel Air rebuild when I was in 8th grade through my Senior year of high school. Fast-forward a bit, and in my adult life, I spent 15+ years parting out & rebuilding (frame-up)...
