I rode/drove a few of them back in the day. Usually pulled them with an IH Cargostar earlier vintage than the one pictured here. Pics from the net.

It won't be a problem for me. I always wear steel or carbon fiber protected work boots when there. A hard hat, hearing protection, and safety glasses in truck if needed. Nothing new. Most places I went to all the way back into the early 70's like US Steel, Republic Steel, and others required a...

Not in K series. C series 2wd and P series availability.

I stated more than once I have seen 3 of the trucks at different times in 1986-87 at the local Cummins dealer while having my General serviced. Anything more will require someone to open their wallet if they state I am not to be believed.

I stated the engine was available when ordering a new vehicle straight from the Chevy/GMC showroom which is correct. If you had read the other linked thread I told of the 3 Cummins equipped trucks I had seen in person getting service at the local Cummins dealer. They were a special order truck...

Did you take the time to go to the linked thread?

The Cummins engine was available in a GM pickup before Dodge started using them. Been discussed before. www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?27071-5-9-cummins-in-M1009&p=282508#post282508

The company incorporated into a limited for tax purposes. It is and always has been a GM entity. The workforce is American and the IUE represents them because they are the old GM/Frigidaire/AC Delco employees and the Union is from 1949. When the plants began part of GM's SAG, (Specialized...

Make sure the accelerator pedal mounting pin is free moving. I have seen these get sticky/stuck and will not allow the pedal to return. Item #29 in the excellent diagram posted by doghead.

It's a good feeling having the proper trailer for a tractor.

I liked the 8V71 318 hp Detroit in my Kenworth. The Cummins series 903 V8 335 hp in my IH Transtar did ok. Pic of the tag on my 1962 Frigidaire stove. GM had plants all around the Dayton area.

Incorrect. Plant is the old GM Frigidaire facility. Been part of of the AC Delco SAG division of GM until spin off. GM owns 60% majority of it. Repesented by IUE Union Local 755. http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/company_info/facilities/powertrain/dmax.html

The Duramax is a GM motor built in the USA. GM hired Isuzu engineers to design the engine and oversee it's development. http://www.dieselpowermag.com/features/1303dp_history_of_the_duramax_diesel_engine/

Re: Your post on page #67. Sorry, I don't visit this thread very often and someone else brought your post to my attention. I do not have any tire rub issues with my fronts.

Another strata blue one shortly before modifications, not my truck. I believe the M35 from above is in the last pic. I sent a few other pics to crazyplowboy back when this thread was fresh. Last I heard the truck is still in various states of restoration.

Why build a "bobb'd" truck? It's an easy decision when you have multiple trucks versus only a single unit. I take them everywhere. I drive them on city streets that are marked 5 ton limit. I parallel park on city streets between cars. I park between the soccer mom's van and the silver haired...

Been done, more than once.

Tires I had on my M915A1.
