heartbroken I just found out the front axle was replaced by the previous owner with a corporate ten bolt. This is terrible. He lied about it, and the axles were his biggest selling point for getting his asking price. I am extremely upset right now that i didn't know the difference myself.

Had a lot of work done on the truck since the last time I've posted. Dando's Automotive, as per Tim's excellent recommendation, has done outstanding and meticulous work. -Steering box brace welded in. -Speedometer gear switched to a 38 tooth so the speedo reads correctly. -Switched the...

Yes I do, with the right angle bent shifter for the transfer case. I will DM you.

Mine seems to be sticking, thanks for the information. Any other tips on lubricating it? I always appreciate your advice.

In my travels in Asia and Latin America I have seen Toyota Hilux and Landcruisers do amazing feats. Guatemala was particularly Landcruiser heaven, every variety you could imagine especially the old trucks and what not.

I've had AAA tow my M1010. I have the basic package, they put it on a flatbed and towed it to the mechanic. Be sure to measure the height of your rig on the flatbed and make sure the driver is aware of it, mine almost took it under an underpass that was too short... that would have been really...

If you are interested in setting up a simple Linux system for my truck with some of those parts, if there is enough extra, I would be interested. A one station setup with 1-2 TB of memory would be more than enough. it would be used mostly for music and internet use while on the road. There is...

I have to admit that it can be done for less, I have been using a really good mechanic, and he is not the cheapest. If you live in a less expensive part of the country it can help with the cost, I am in San Francisco. I had a less expensive mechanic install the rear axle seal incorrectly and...

I paid $3,750 for my M1010 with 13,000 miles on the odometer in Grants Pass Oregon. So far I have't found any rust, and the mechanics who have worked on it believe the odometer reading may be accurate based on the condition of the truck. It sat for a couple of years and needed a fair amount of...

I have been researching the difference between the two, and think I have a basic understanding of what you are explaining. I think I would like to do a hy steer setup to get the tie rods out of harms way eventually, but don't necessarily want to lift the truck. I haven't been able to figure...

I've been wondering if there would be a way to use the hole in the fender of my m1010 for the arctic heater kit to bring in cooler air on the truck, and possibly open up the intake for better airflow? Maybe eventually route it to a snorkel on that side, since the hole is already in the...

Can an m1010 with no lift have crossover and or hy steer installed? I am a little unsure of whether or not there is room without a lift... thanks everyone for the invaluable information.

Is that only a problem on the 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks? Thanks for all the great tips, I am slowly learning more about my historic truck!

I have one on my truck that I may remove and switch to a straight shifter on the t case. I noticed this is an older thread but just in case pm me if you still need one.

Glad i checked out your thread, I think I will get this camera for my CUCV M1010 camper build. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I saw that he rebuilds model A's etc.!

I need to replace the steering components (power steering pump, steering box, idler and pitman arm, tie rod ends, etc.) Maybe now is the time to switch to a hi steer?) reinforce the frame where the steering box mounts to it, replace the radiator, maybe hoses and heater core, replace a missing...

He didn't balk at the idea of working on my old rig, which many mechanics don't even wanna touch.

Thanks! The other mechanic did great work, but he didn't do a lot of what I asked him to. Didn't charge me for the things he didn't do, but I'd like to try someone else out. From the quality of your build I checked out on here the other day, I figure they must do great work. Only unfortunate...

I think I'm going to try out Dando's this week, looks good!
