Won't most trucks already have the 208 t-case? would it be easier to use the donor t-case that is already mated to the tranny? I'm assuming that I would be getting the tranny from a diesel parts truck which really shouldn't be to hard to find. there was one if the local paper two weeks ago.
yes, I definitely wouldn't expect to get a new one shipped for $50, but figured some guy wouldn't mind taking $50 for one sitting in an old truck that's rotting in his field.
Thanks for the links. I actually found one in a local junk yard for $60 which seems reasonable enough. I'll see if I...
wow, I must be super cheap. I was hoping for like $50 or less.
I noticed a neighbor had a couple old chevy's yesterday and stopped to see if he wanted to sell the rear window and he wanted $150!! I thought that was outrageous.
When I was young, seems like my dad always got used parts off...
Hey guys,
do you know if its possible to put a sliding rear window in a m1028?
If so, is there a source for these?
Any rear window out of a similar aged chevy/gmc truck should work, right?
Thanks!
yep, I think thats it. I didn't remember it looking quite this 'old' but it probably was the M37.
looked like this one from the link that you guys posted - except with narrower tires
Thanks!
now please tell me that those trucks are total junk - so I don't start wanting one!
yes, I should get a book - maybe I'll check our library - just in case.
here are as much details as I can remember - although we drove by kind of fast - I would have turned around if I didn't have the family with me.
It was a truck - with a truck bed with side boards - and it was loaded...
Hey guys, I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but I only have and know about the CUCV, so this is the only forum that I go on.
Anyways, last week, on our way home from Christmas with my parents we saw the absolute coolest looking military vehicle ever (at least to me)...
Here, I'll add some direction to my question:
I found this online:
1984 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup Trailer Wiring Harness | etrailer.com
will this work?
or are there voltage issues.
I did some searches and got the biggest spectrum of information imaginable.
I want to add a 4 pin trailer plug to my m1028, and I mostly just want to know if the tail lights are 12v or 24v.
When i did a search I found many people saying that you had to either wire to magnetic LED lights to...
Super simple question.
I live in the country on a forest service road, and am not worried about theft. I would like to leave the key to my m1028 in my ignition. Some vehicles will drain power from the battery if the key is in the ignition and I want to make sure this is not the case with...
just an update,
I couldn't get the kingpin springs or bushings at any of the autoparts stores in town, so I replaced the steering stabilizer and rotated the tires and made sure they all had equal air pressure. I took it for a little drive around and couldn't get it to start the death wobble...
Hi all,
I've had my m1028 for a few months now. Since I've had it, I could always feel a barely perceptible wobble in the steering wheel at about exactly 45mph.
a couple weeks ago, going down the road at about 35, I hit a bump and it went into a death wobble.
Since that time, it has...
