im thinking farmer:grd:. how similar were the others?

cruise heater core was leaking so i bypassed it in order to make it down without it getting worse talked to a couple of vets briefly , the first remembered working on the cucvs, didnt care for them. the second wondered if it was waterproofed. said all their stuff had been. i think he...

planning on going to the 08's 1st cruise in/car show this afternoon . pics later:-D

thanks for the complements , actually this was the first truck i have done myself and if you get close enough you will see lots of small faults. i just focused on the big dents. he not on here but i have to give credit to Jess Farwell as i commandeered his garage/shop for a few months...

drive shaft was ok , don't know if someone swapped it though here is a before pic. cant find the pics of the markings but as i remember the door said "range control"? hmm seabees, gives me more ideas

update well on the way in to work today i experienced the infamous death wobble .:shock: started out thinking it was the stabilizer as i could not feel any play in the wheels. pulled off the stabilizer and it felt OK. ding ding ding we have a winner, kingpins!aua great 6months, sevral...

bought the m1008 in Feb, tore it apart for paint, 6 months later finally usable, not quite finished but drivable. :grin: 1st sealer coat, took out the typical forklift dent from the drivers side door + various other dents, didn't get them all though. more details + pics later as i finish up...

i was thinking of swapping axles because from what i see i think it would be faster to swap axles and quite possibly cheaper noting the price of parts trucks in this area. i do have a pair of dually axles with 4.10s but i don't really want to convert to a dually. and if memory serves me...

looking at possible axle swaps to gain better gearing for the m1008. seems 3/4 - 1 ton dodges often have 3.54s. anybody ever try swap non gm axles into a cucv :?: mostly looking at changing gearing because of a planned cummins swap.8-)

horses funny you should mention that dads team, minus the colt, have vehicle towing experience..............:grd:

seeing as the auction is on going maybe i shouldn't say? im just trying have a few plausible backup plans for when the ideal situation doesn't happen:shock:

some friends of ours have pushed one pickup with another when the dead one did not have a towbar. just got to thinking it might be an option to get a deuce off base if the powers that be would not let you drive off. though now that i think of it they probably wouldn't like this idea...

knowing it is a bad idea to pull a deuce with a pickup how bad of an idea would it be to use a tow-bar and say an m1008 to push? short distance, low speed, 2 drivers:cookoo::?:

cost if you don't mind me asking what did it end up costing to have it towed?
