Long ago at a diminutive little maintenance unit, a grunt with a sense of humor thought to himself, if I spray part of this truck with some leftover yellow paint, it will surely confound some Brit living in a snowy environment some time in the distant future. He has probably been chuckling ever...
Yup, medium tow bar and 1" adapters and your all set. Common sense items like lights, safety chains and disco rear shaft or pull axles is also a help. 3/4" towbar adapters and pins with bushings will also suffice.
In reference to that load sensing valve, I think I've had less than stellar luck. It stopped working on my SECM truck. I followed the GM bulletin and eliminated it and the truck stops great. I found out that the ambulance has the same issue. My new V30 had brake issues on It's drive home and...

Odds are it isn't the keyswitch. That cylinder has a rod that actuates a switch on the top of the column above the pedals. There is also a start relay under the dash in the area behind the radio blockoff plate. In the CUCV forum check out the helpful threads stickies. There is a wealth of...
I'd be careful in offering that machine shop's services. It will result in either breaking (braking) this posters bank account or wearing out his welcome at said shop. Here is what one of my options are!
