Rich, 1/2-20 is the thread size of the stock radiator transmission cooler metal line threads. Is that what you are looking for? Inverted flare of course.

Get as much parts from it as you can as suggested above. The fuse panel will be mostly the same as the CUCV. There might be a few things different like the choke circuit, windshield washer circuit, water in fuel light, etc...

I wanted it as low as possible. But did cut the front fenders some to clear.

Rory, I made it home just as the rain hit. I have never done IFR in a helicopter but imagine it probably isn't fun. Joe, i have a Chevy horn button. The GMC button came from the Gasser half ton when I did the column swap. I was busy with the transmission issues and neglected to change them out...

That isn't a '51 front fender rear support. It looks like the '53 or newer which is what they stuck with for the rest of the production run. I will try and go look at my '52 so I can explain the differences better.

No rub on any tires. I have flexed it as much as I can with dirt piles and such. I really like the solid feel of the M35 and M715 going down the road. The M1009 trucks feel solid, but just a little mushy to me. I hate the way my 2wd Suburban feels on the road. Too much like a marshmallow. I am...

The last two weeks have been busy. Compushift TCM installed, Dakota Digital VHX gauges wired and installed, center console extension made and installed, radio hooked up, interior finished, bolt on base plates for swing away tire and gear carriers made and installed, title transferred, tags...

Since this has become the gauge update/wiring thread of choice now. I will chime in what I have figured out recently. I thought after following this thread when it was new and looking at parts suppliers like LMC that there were 3 different printed circuit mats for the gauge clusters. Nope...

Besides the suggestion of temperature checking your u-joints a few post up. Pulling the straps off the pinion yoke and actually holding the drive shaft/u-joint as you check them and turn them can do a lot more than just looking and giving them a tug. This will also make checking the transfer...

Thanks for the links Marcus. I was time limited when I made my post and just wanted to get the basic facts out.

Someone will probably post up soon about how if they can find the old one they took off their truck because it leaked a deal can be worked out. Which leads to the question of why? The stock filter bases were prone to cracking and leaking. Many of us consider a spin on filter to be a superior...

Thank you for your service. The regulator is inside the alternator. They are normally found with any Delco 27SI alternator rebuild kit. There are several vendors on this site that sell such kits. A fast google for a 27SI kit will show you other vendors as well. It reads like your dealership...

No gasket on the Banks lid. The filter is just a hair taller than the housing and the lid seals with it.

There used to be an exhaust shop at the point where College and Texas almost meet, on College. I haven't even driven by there in years so they could be gone. They had a pit in the floor and were great at fabbing up anything for a good price. Your airbox should have a little bitty drain hole...

I got to work this morning and had two puddles under the Cowdog. I ran it on Thursday but haven't seen it since. Power steering fluid from the pump and transmission fluid from the pedestal/rear mount area. Power steering has been an on again, off again leak ever since I got it running. I am...

I like that airbox set up Rich. Looking good.

That sure screams HEAD GASKETS to me. When you are pimping the coolant tester. Can you hear air leaking from anywhere? Also, where is the coolant leaking on your engine coming from?

The wiper system works off of ground switching. Look at the wiring diagrams at the back of the -20. Power goes from the fuse to the motor. All the rest of the wires control the ground.

Post number 206 in my Cowdog build thread is the only picture I have of mine. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?74514-M1007-CUCV-Suburban-Clone-Build-Thread/page6 i have engine oil temp, egt and boost. I haven't driven it down the road yet so distraction or view blockage is still a...

Under the column there is a huge multi wire flat plug for the blinker system. Them another with 5 wires. That 5 wire plug is the wiper system. Unplug it and see if the fuse works. If so, the problem is in the column or switch. If not, then you are still under the dash looking.
