This is interesting! Let me ask, does the converted truck have a rotating or fixed pintle hook? I have heard that M1031 trucks have a fixed pintle. I think the OP has gone on a walkabout!

I know that all of the M1028A2 duallys and M1028A3 duallys were converted from single wheel trucks. The A2 was from and A1 and the A3 from an M1028. What was converted into the M1028A1? Did they swap in an NP205 for the 208? This is the first I'm learning of trucks converted into an M1028A1.

Lets see, for road use and mild trails I think the axles will be fine. It kind of looks like it was rigged to 12V in a way. Keeping it 24V would be fairly easy as well. In reference to the A/C, are you referring to the pt compartment A/C? See some options and ideas in this thread...

They are certainly 3/4 ton. If you don't plan on big tires or off roading, you should be just fine. Finding a full float rear would be much easier than the 60 front. Would be much better for highway driving. What would your plans be for it? If it's a solid body, it might be a good buy but...

I've looked at those pics over and over. I really believe that it has 3/4 ton running gear. Its sad that the seller either won't disclose this or got taken himself and trying to return the favor.

I prefer the Goodyear Gatorbacks myself. CUCVs don't play well with cheaper belts.

Check out the drive line really close. Hard to tell from pics but it sure looks like someone put 3/4 ton axles in it. That would explain the super low price.

Martin is exactly right. Pintles always have some binding when backing. The tall riser has just enough spring action that it would twist and snap back and eventually bent. I have a 4" riser for my M1010and I don't like it a bit. I'll drop the trailer at home and back it with another truck...

Wonder if the rifling had a left twist?

Oh no! This just proves that no surgery is routine. More prayers for Dudley's loved ones!

Over the years I've pulled probably 15-20 of the TV cable linkages out of the pick a part yards. Pickins have been slim lately. Probably been a year since I got my last one. I would hit every yard within driving distance and don't forget to check vans. Any trans should be freshened up before...

See attached pic. If the front compartment extends down like the area inside the red box, it's likely a 1028.

Is the welder a PTO unit or gas driven?

I have the same quest. How did you deal with alts 1 and 2 lights?

If it's an A2 with composite lights, then both hold down bolts need to be grounded. Tail light circuit normally wouldn't go through the signal box.

Good call on shoes, those are micro thin in the lining dept. I just did shoes, spring kit, cylinders, brake lines and brake hose on SECM.

Lifted up! Hang in there Dudley and kids!

The biggest recurring issue with the M1010 is the charging system. Seems that the military saw fit to have 2 24V alts installed and use a DUVAC box to pulse down 24V to 12V. The DUVAC is the heart of the problem. The common fix for years was an elimination of the 24V system or to use an...
