I'm beginning to wonder if you will be able to let it go when she is ready. Seems you have grown attached.

I have been running 6ga to the GP relay for years without issue. West Marine is a great place to get quality cable and such.

Stop it with the suspense I say, on with the pics Tim.

That would be great of one had NODs. LOL. I like it.

The grill should be an inch shorter on the Gasser making the hood close just a wee bit more if I recall correctly.

High clearance driveline (half the time).

Start with the underhood sound blanket. it won't break the bank and gives you a fair comparison to nothing so you can evaluate if you want to move fwd.

Congrats on getting it done. I think that 10 bolt could be the Achilles heel of the M1009 and applaud you for disposing of it. With that said I am certain that at least one person will thoroughly disagree with me but that's alright.

Let's see if I reservation holds up this year. Back to Mallards 1.

I'm with Gimp on this one. It's certainly an M295 chassis. A 17'. M36 bed would bolt right on there. The M814 bed would overhang the rear frame by 3'. I wantet to build one of these on an M295 chassis I had. Never found the body and Wreckerman893 persuaded me out of the chassis.

My M1010 has only been out of the yard a couple of times since last year's FL Rally Invitational. After falling sick for a week, I didn't have time to finish the axle swap on my contact truck for this year's event so I tossed my kids and my camping stuff in the back and headed out Friday. Just...

We have had to reposition them and install temporary retainment measures at rallies, trail rides and convoys. It happens. Glad yours was close to home and you could limp in.

I would explain to the seller the purpose of your purchase and request that he let you try it to make sure it can do what you are buying it to do. I doubt that you would be see much performance difference between your C60 and the deuce. Stability would probably be better but also plan a budget...

Check out the front springs. Are the shackles in the front or rear of the spring? I can't tell from the pics.

Thanks for the update. Contamination isn't always obvious.

General rule of thumb is 10% of total trailer weight as tongue weight. Going heavier is always better as long as you aren't towing with something short and light.

Matt has a valid point. Most FF Dana 60s have 1.31" 30 spline axles. A step up from a 10 bolt but not half what a 14 bolt is. 14FF can still be found cheap and should you ever need to set it up with new gears, it's very user friendly. Should you elect to add a Detroit No-Spin, they are much...

Ah, that's right. I forgot it was the CUCVII.

Looking good Chuck. You will love this truck when done.

Do a little research in the CUCV forum from member Stonepicker1. He has done the swap and covered it on here if I recall correctly.
