    ID this truck

    Well, its a non standard body so bank on it being an M44 or M45 depending on tire config.

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    LS swap on mule and add a 3 point hitch. Retire mower, cut grass with the mule.

    700r4 in an m1008

    If its a parts truck, you might consider snipping the the plug off the harness. Doubt you will need it with all the converter lockup options but better to have and not need. If you have never removed the TV bracket, here is the trick. Unbolt it from the head then feed it forward. There is a...

    LS Engine Swap, why?

    Power is like a drug to some folks. Not to be a devils advocate but if you are offroading in a muddy climate (FL etc) you need wheel speed. That won't be happening with a 6.5. I'd like to do an LS in my CUCV simply because the 6.2 sucks here in the mountains.

    700r4 in an m1008

    Trans and transfer case. Converter, flexplate and dustshield. TV cable and most importantly, the TV cable bracket and rod. It bolts to the back of the left head and attaches to the IP. May as well grab the gear indicator from the dash, not necessary but handy and makes for a complete install.

    CUCV Steering wheel

    I've never paid attention to the CUCV steering wheel much. It usually goes right in the trash and a GM 4 spoke takes it's place.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    I had the exact same issue when I repowered mine. Once installed, it worked great.

    M1028A2.. Dana 70HD rear end with power lock limited slip?

    Wonderingif your A2 might have been converted with civy parts. Is it still sporting 4.56 cogs? I have a Detroit NoSpin in my converted dually SECM and notice no ill effects from it. My 87 V30 flatbed will get one this summer.

    1008 stock replacement front springs

    Good to know. Maybe the part number is an aftermarket industry standard.

    1008 stock replacement front springs

    22-617 and 22-617HD are numbers used by Dayton on their springs.

    CUCV Evaluation

    That would be an excellent candidate for a psuedo military burb project.

    CUCV Evaluation

    Look between parts riveted to the frame. Is rust expanding and pushing them off? Is the lip of the frame rusted down to a knife edge? If you see noneof that, you should be fine. M1008 frames pop up. Back halfing a 1031 with a donor frame would not be a seriously complicated project.
