Just a couple months back I had this shipped out to me, a CUCV M1010 ambulance. Going to be a long term build and currently focused on going through the mechanical systems first.

Man that thing is a beast! So cool. Love how easy that pop top is. Definitely looking forward to some pics. :)

Very cool rig and love the pop top. Something I want to do with my M1010. Do you have any pics from the inside with the top down? I want to see how the hard wall lay out so I can get some ideas. Debating soft side or hard side pop top. Thanks!

A little update, I was able to get another M1010 dash bezel for my gauge project. Just started to mock up things and it looks like the larger gauges drop into the factory sized hole and the spin lock rings square up nicely to the back of the bezel opening. This sets them to the factory angle...

Great build thread. I am wishing you get to how you make and mount the tent fabric. Looking for ideas on how folks are doing this, for a future idea I have for my build.

Looks like all of the external stuff is 80/20 aluminum extrusion. https://8020.net Very cool stuff. Not cheap if you're doing a lot of it but looks soooo good when done.

If you can find one and if so, don't mind paying well over $10K for one. Very few made it to the public.

I have been very happy running Bridgestone Dualer REVO models (only the REVO model though) on my Cherokees. They ride super nice, are very quiet, work great in the rain (really haven't been in too much snow to say) and have performed great in the dirt. My first Cherokee had the original REVO's...

Looks great! Love how this is turning out. If you haven't thought of it already, on the bolts sticking out the back, you might want to get some acorn nuts to finish them off. I would leave the standard nut there and use the acorn nut as a jam/finishing nut so it will look clean and keep them...

Been toying with a different idea for the box interior. Wife and I are looking at the idea of bunks instead of a single bed. Much better use of space and no one ends up having to crawl over the other one. Rough idea, fairly to scale but not 100%. More of a concept drawing.

Being deep into a 5 speed trans swap in my '65 C10 Panel truck, I took the M1010 down to the local gear shop (Pro-Gear) and had them drain, install my new diff covers, with Lube-Locker gaskets and put fresh fluid in. Got that system marked off my list.

Thanks very much for the info. Definitely no plans to drive while open. :) Definitely think you solved the problem on how I wanted to fill this spot after removing the A/C unit.

So I am going to be ordering windows from Tern at some point, when I get into the build of my M1010. @TernOverland I have a question. The M1010 has a large A/C unit mounted on the front of the ambulance box, which I will be removing. I need to fill this hole and based on the size, it seems...

Love the build. Looking forward to building my M1010. Got a question, since mine is all white as well, how well has the Baer paint been holding up? Seems like an easier way to repaint than other options.

If you go to Speedhut's site, all gauges are built to order. They offer a number of colors for their gauges. Their HUMVEE line are the only ones who uses this color green. I asked that they used the same artwork and lighting for my gauges. Noramlly this is not an option for a normal build of...

Thanks Chilli. Cheaper than an engine rebuild. :D Got them ordered during a 15% off sale, ended up being just under $800 which is about on par for any very high quality gauge sets.

Gathering more parts. I had these gauges custom made by Speedhut. This is their Revolution line but done up to look like their HUMVEE line of gauge. Wanted to keep that military vibe but have modern gauges, since there are none in the CUCV rigs. The LED near the bottom of the gauge is a...

I have been seriously looking at this when I setup my BMS. The idea of having all of the required items to run shore, car and solar charging, the nice monitor system, priority charging for solar and a couple other things, in a single unit, is great. No having to figure out where to locate...

I actually ordered some samples from them. Very interesting stuff. Kind of a "soft plastic" feel to it. Likely very easy to clean but will not have a "warm" feeling as it will be whatever the ambient temperature is.

Thanks. I don't really do Instagram but I have seen his M1010 and some other things on YouTube. Very cool rig.
