    Cab repair - 1988 Chevy

    Hey, I resemble that remark. Actually, it is not a bone yard. Just a storage area. The CUCVII is sitting comfortably next to a M715 W/W, besides a drop side M35 bed with a M715 frame next to that. I will get those pictures later today. Heading out to pass the Scout swim test right now.

    Black-out lights?

    I think some of you are reading this and scratching your head about what we are writting. The rear black out light has 4 slots. When you are looking at it from less than about 50 yards away, you see 4 slots. As you back up they will merge to two lights per housing. When you get more than...

    Identifying Texas FMV owners

    Wallew, I look forward to meeting you in person. PM me a number and location once you get settled. My inlaws live in Plano and we get up there a few times a year. Plus, green iron and work have me up there every few months too. To the subject of this thread. The Metroplex for some reason...

    Black-out lights?

    They are great for entertaining boy Scouts on camp outs. Once you tell them how the seperation keeping aspect of the rear lights work. They will be running around between 50-100 meters away testing it out themselves. Other than that, I haven't found a use.

    To Warthog, Alredneck, and SS in general

    You guys that are getting kicked off trying to type long post. Click the "remember me" box when you log in next time. I have never had that problem because I always click the box, but Warthog helped somebody out with that advice on another site a few days ago and I thought I would pass it...

    M715 carb.

    Somebody could have just turned the distributor too. Mine was 40° off when I got it. Ran fine at all speeds though. Ran better once I set it correctly.

    Front axel boot questions?

    So much for calmly trying to diffuse the arguement.

    Poll - Who has done the Doghead Relay Conversion

    PMCS. After reading all the horror stories before I bought my first one, I considered the relay swap as important as fluids and filters.

    M715 carb.

    Clean out the needle and seat as well. Mine used to run perfect until all of a sudden about what you describe. I would pull the bowl, clean it out, put it back on and be running fine again. I had 4 fuel filters on it at one point and stuff was still getting by. Taking the tank off to get...

    Front axel boot questions?

    I don't think either side is going to win the other over in this arguement. So why don't we stop trying. We each own our trucks and have to maintain them as we see fit.

    Name that noise

    I was faster than a walk which at our age equals a run, right? I got a Snap-On 15mm combination wrench to fit between the bracket and the pulley today. All 3 bolts going into the pump were loose at least 3 turns. Got the belt tight, rpm set and took it for a test drive. Problem fixed and...

    New M715 owner from Oklahoma

    Just 11 in the past 3 years. Hardly worth mentioning really around this crowd.

    New M715 owner from Oklahoma

    Yep, you have wandered into a place where there are thousands just like you. If it is mechanical and old, or newer. Most of us have an interest or a collection already. Wait until you meet others face to face. Soon you will be going to visit. Then meeting more and visiting more. Pretty...

    Name that noise

    Oh, I thought about the pink wire about the time I got past the front tire. By then, momentum had me going for the key. Good point. I thought about not including that but figured full honesty no matter how stupid it made me look was the only way to go. Even on small stuff only about 10...

    Name that noise

    I can't make it die anymore sitting still like I could by bopping the throttle with the old pump. I won't really know until I fix the drip and get the ps pump back on tight so I can take it down the road. Probably Monday if things go right.

    Altenator parts/snapped flange

    OK, I was thinking one of the bottom ears. Since that is a threaded hole. Anyway you fix it will be put to the test by tightening the bolt up. Add a large washer, longer bolt and nut to the mix so the crack won't have to hold tension. If your local welding shops only charge by the hour...

    Brake drum removal, m37

    I just read your email and figured I better check here before I write back. Are you going with new hoses and rebuilt/new wheel cylinders? I ask because if you were planning to do that. Grinding off the tie downs isn't as painful since parts are going to be bought anyway.

    Name that noise

    I know, the beloved 6.2 is such a nice smooth running and quiet engine that we never hear any noises unless our ear is next to a valve cover and we make sure it is actually on since we can't always tell by just standing at the front of the truck. Be that as it may. I replaced an IP in a...
