Did I use small enough words for it to make sense?

One thing I forgot to mention...the K10 and K5 are now using Ford-style relays, which are grounded via the case instead of the second terminal. The second center terminal is power out to an ignition coil (to bypass the coil resister and provide direct voltage while cranking). If you ground out this +12V terminal you will melt the weakest connector the first time the relay flips. So look up the pinout diagram for your particular relay before you start wiring stuff up.
In my K5 thread, @Csm Davis recently posted up where you can get controller cards that allow for either switched or automatic glow plug operation.

I'll just leave these here.
You're welcome.
Looks like a pickup underneath the conversion? I'm more interested in something like this.
Removed the bumper guards yesterday (trying to turn them into money). Truck looks weird without 'em.
And then I test-fit my CUCV brush guard.
It did not fit. The top portion is right, and the holes line up, but the bumper contour is not correct. I need to space the bottom out by over an inch to locate the guard properly.
Additionally, the bolts at the side are about 1/2" off. Less that it looks in this picture, but just enough to cause a misalignment.

I compared it to the actual CUCV in the driveway, and the black guard doesn't have the correct profile. I think the green guard would be a proper fit, the bumpers have the same contour. Plus, @Massboy did it that way. 
Does anybody know what this guard could have come off of? I was told it was a CUCV guard, but I was thinking front CUCV bumpers were all the same.

That contour looks like a ford bumper. Brush guards That look like the CUCV are all over my area. None actually for a Chevy.

WHERE DID YOU SEE THAT???
There should be an NSN on it somewhere if it's a real CUCV guard. However no clue where it actually is. When I put one on my 89 Blazer it took some cursing and bending to get it to fit right.
You have to remember several generations of 18 through 25-year-old privates used those to push things and climb on. Most are slightly bent.
I got mine close and then hammered it on with the impact.
Does your M1009's guard have those inward "dimples"?

The part that confuses me is the center holes are perfect. The side holes may need a little tweaking, but the center looks like it was made for it. Except not.
Which dimples? You mean the jog in bumper profile between the bolts? No, that contour is completely different.
Yeah, that does not look right at all. Have you asked over on steel soldiers? I feeling is that this is either like someone mentioned and for a different vehicle or ask been modified to fit something else. That contour does not look right at all.
It was on a Farsebook page.

Interesting.
I seen one (or this one?)
In Milwaukee a few days ago. I try to get a pic of it but I missed it.
Looked awesome.

Look at this and you'll see the resemblance
Is it for a '73-'80? GM offered that design as a dealer add on before it was used on CUCV's.

Martin, that does look like what I have. The second horizontal ridge is what makes mine different. I don't see that lower ridge on the Ford picture.
