Chupa, did you keep it? unless the body suffered major damage to compromise strength or floatation, it should be rebuildable, and from what ive seen they are quite capable little machines, although not real speedy.

not positive i can make it, but just in case, is there anyone looking for any parts from the ambulance box of an M1010? got gurneys and the rack assembly out, and can take out the interior florescent or spotlights out before the meet if anyone is looking for them. or if theres some other part...

Hi-lift jacks are death traps at best. I've seen too many handles snap back up and vehicles fall off of them. I will highly agree that Hi-Lift and similar farm jacks can be dangerous, mainly when used by people who are not familiar with them or taught proper use and safety, and maintenence/...

i just want to clear some things up on the dreaded death-wobble, which i have experienced a few times, and due to funds and time have not fixed yet, but will be soon... if you have an M1009, your not going to be a victim of the "Dreaded Death Wobble" we are all talking about... this is something...

i appreciate everyones info and advice. and Santa, this is actually just going to be a temporary situation to try and get it at least safely useable in the woods for the holiday weekend, and hopefully a few more trips there this summer. i hope to either do the discbrake upgrade, or possibly...

A Wooster girl, huh? i grew up in Doylestown, went to the Career Center in Smithville, and worked at Wooster Country Club for awhile in high school. And my father retired from Wooster Brush... small world, huh? not sure how old you two are, but im 34. if your close in age, i have to wonder if i...

i must say, nice truck, but you made an even better score on finding the wife! congrats for that sir, she sounds like one in a million, and a definate keeper!!

Thanks guys, thats the answer i was wanting, and im really hoping your right. id think my worstcase scenerio is going to be an issue with the rear brakes locking up, but in the dirt, especially with the insane hills where we ride, id rather deal with that than the fronts locking. at least if its...

Any help on this subject is greatly appreciated. im trying to get this things trail ready for the July 4th weekend...

has anyone done the Chevy C30 master cylinder upgrade on stock drumbrakes, and not used a proportioning valve? im in the process of this upgrade, but cannot locate the right proprtioning valve UglyTruckling suggests using. im wanting to know if i can go without installing a proportioning valve...

have you done the kingpin bushing/spring replacement in the D60 yet? alot of times its what causes the deathwobble, and maybe at least contributing to this along with the steering components that 12vctd suggests... but also could be a simple fix like Dogheads suggestion, esp if it became a...

Guess i probably should have posted this earlier, but wasnt sure if id make it or not, and now its looking like i will. is there anyone that would be interested in anything from the back of an M1010? ive got the 3 alum. stretchers, i believe all the mounting brackets/hardware(minus the...

i went to the Ride Thru History this group did last year. great collection of dedicated people!!

i just realized that i put M37 there... i was actually aiming for the "6" and didnt realize i missed... and if you read the vehicles i own, it makes me look even more wetodded...hehehe... thanks for catching that for me jbingrofl

before buying my M1010, the original plan was to build a camper from an M35, or an M37(? i believe that was the long wheelbase designation...), and mount a Uhaul box, or preferrably a box from a moving truck used by Two Guys and a Truck, which has a higher roof allowing more headroom since i...

Wrex, go turbo for sure, like the rest have said. 3.08s are just like having overdrive, essentially. and btw, i love your grill plate numbers... tempted to steal the idea since my M1010 is named Club Murder, but the novelty is lost when copied, so i will give you props for the idea instead, and...

Hey Leroy, what were you running those Swampers on? i think i just located a nice used set of 34x9r16's that im gonna grab to put on my M1010. its seems that i shouldnt have any problems rubbing since theyre so skinny, but i'll get a little better highway speed, offroad traction, and it'll look...

Hpdb, thats a great project, and im sure will be a blast when done!! i always loved the FAV buggys since i was a kid. most of my friends have or had railbuggys, and its amazing how capable they are offroad. we go to a place here in Ohio called Wellsville, and ive seen them do some truly...

congrats on the M1010, Shrapnel, i too have one of its twin brothers... great truck, and even stock they will go places a truck its size has no business going!! seems we have a similar build plan, which is a quite common direction to go for most M1010 owners it seems. Firecontrol, youd be amazed...

Super Swamper Boggers come in a 38.5/11r16... or Maxxis Buckshot Mudders in a 305-85r16 i believe it is. i picked up a set of those on 8 lug Wagon Wheels, but i may just get adaptors made to run the 8 lug wheel. dont forget to run tubes made for Radial or Bias-ply, according to what kind of tire...
