    LED's and Lumens, colors, best human visual spectrum .... and all the jazzzz

    A point once brought up was heat generation. Do they generate enough heat to keep from icing up in the winter?

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    I had one of those trans hoists and promptly sold it after the first attempted use. Seems that without removing the seats, I couldn't get it right above the trans. If I turned it around where the cable drew from the other side, it would have worked but didn't clear the dash. FYi, you can't re...

    Drivers side alternator belt. Opinions?

    Same issue here. I solved my problem by using Gatorback belts but you already said that won't work for you. Good luck.

    Front Hub Conversion question

    Any GM 4x4 dually hub from 77-87 and V30 from 88-91 will work. I guess this is assuming you have GM Dana 60 front. Why don't you tell us what truck/axle you have?

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    When I did the SM465 swap a few weeks back it was the first time I had installed one in 30 years. Once I got going it was like I had never missed a day. I was able to walk it right into place.

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    Outstanding suggestion G. We used to use grease and an old input shaft to remove the pilot bearing.

    Mating transmission to engine - rant

    A couple of years ago the special projects team did an engine swap at the GA Rally. They had the same struggles as you did. It got intense for a while then this short recently retired guy asked if he could give it a shot. In 3 minutes the transmission was seated and the short guy rode off into...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Now I'm sorry I pitched my old dashpad. That screams to have some extra fab work done and installed with clear or paint only.

    Columbia (Lexington) SC potential pickup.

    Folks, I am considering bidding on a small block chevy in this area. Anyone in the area have the means to grab this and store it, possibly until October? Thanks in advance.

    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    I could be wrong but the rear spoiler was mostly seen on tailgate trucks. Its main function was to creat a downforce area to keep exhaust from vortexing in the back window. My 91 was a tailgte truck and had that exhaust issue with the window down.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Update on my recent GA trip. The truck is an M1008 converted to SECM with a full compliment of tools, bolts and shop supplies. The truck has dual rear wheels and 4.10 gears and has the SM465 trans. The trip up I had an M116 (mostly) that had wood sides added and a steel topper. Both were full...

    Just got out of the saddle on my return trip from GA. The truck handled the hills better empty and without the trailer but it was mostly down hill. If the pic attaches it shows the distance and many other details. Lot of hours in the saddle between Monday and today. While in GA, this truck sat...

    15" wheels on M880 ?

    Our parts yards have very few rims. Took me months to scare up 4 Ford rims. They scrap the aluminum rims and make stands out of the steel ones.
