This sounds like B.S. Did the letter only come as an email? That should make anyone suspicious. It's just like your bank notifying you via email that they'll freeze your account unless you go to a website and verify your information so they know your account has not been compromised --- yet...

The Blazers were listed as "3/4-ton" trucks by the military, but that was because they had roughly a 3/4-ton payload. It was actually 1200 lbs, but what's 300lbs among friends, right? I have heard that the pickups were 3/4-ton trucks with a 1-ton front axle, but that is simply not the case. For...

I thought he passed away a few months back? I hope I am wrong, but I seem to remember reading it somewhere???

If it's already owned and titled by a civilian, then all you need is the title. There's no EUC or other garbage on these trucks.

Unless it looks like the door jamb plate was replaced, I would tend to believe it over the glove box - the glove box is much easier to switch. However, checking the dash tag is the best. The M1028 ID plate plate will be on the lower flat interior surface of the drivers door (near the louvers)...

Quickest wat to tell from the side: a Dodge body has a compartment in front of the rear tires. It drops back down lower than the "wheelwell". The Chevy body goes striaight to the cab and the fuel tank is clearly visible....

Re: RE: MadDawg Sure does. I didn't think there was a truck that clean left in the system with those original style mirrors. :shock: Congratulations!

I just took care of a nest on my M1009. Do any places near you sell the foaming bee spray? I get it at Ace Hardware stores. Works great. I had a nest in my basement where the bees were coming through a gap in the sill plate. I made a makeshift bee suit from jeans and a couple of shirts (or a...

OK, here we go... :deadhorse: There may be a few rare exceptions to my position, but generally I don't like to advertise. I don't buy a great quantitiy of trucks and I am not a dealer, so some would argue that it doesn't or shouldn't matter to me. However, I just don't understand this logic...

Also check the connector on the temp switch at the rear of the engine on the driver's side. The GP card uses this to determine glow time. If it is disconnected, the card will think the temp is WAY too cold and, in my experience, will run the GP's for a LONG time. Too long for me to not turn the...

I have a VERY hard time believing that anyone who has any intention of going for a truck would post it in this way. Why?? Even people with more money than sense don't do this! It has been said a million times on this site: Tell us when you get it and we'll congratulate you. I don't want to know...

Isn't that the truth. I was just reminded where it should be when looking at BKubu's new M1028, which still had it in the factory location. Thinking back, my old M1028A3 had it in the factory location, too. The little tits on the GP housing should be stuck through a hole in the sheetmetal that...

This was a mid-production change in 1985. One truck could have been early 1985 and the other later in 1985 after the change was made. I am not sure why they re-engineered them, but I guess there was a reason (good or not). I will try to find some documentation, but the front tie-down did not...

There are 2 different styles of rear shelter tie-downs. The first design used shorter sections of C-channel that did not stick out past the sides of the bed at all. They also have a heavier vertical brace made from 2 layers of steel. The later style was shown by ONTOS66. I'm not sure if the...

From 1981 to 1986, the 3rd character of the VIN was either of the following: A = Chev (10 or more passenger) B = Chev Tr., Incomplete Vehicle C = Chev Tr., Complete Vehicle 8 = Chev Tr., Multipurpose Vehicle In 1987, the "8" became an "N", just as the"K" for a civilian 4x4 became a "V" (...

The front 10-bolt is the same as the M1009, except the wheel hub/rotor. It is no stronger than the M1009. The 14bsf rears are stout, but will probably need to have the perches re-welded or shimmed to get the pinion angle reasonable in a short chassis like the K5. I think Four Wheeler magazine...

Were any of your items marked with a red asterisk? Those are not in stock, so they are ordering them from GM warehouse. There is an email link in the blue bar at the top of their main page where you can inquire about your order status.

I don't think that's Desert Tan? It looks more like State Highway or Local Municipality Yellow... :shock:

Flatlander, Sounds like you've got an A2 to me. I sold one just like the pic Kenny posted to CGarbee last year. That one is pretty complete looking. Kenny, you should buy it. They're a blast. Of course, those tires and 2WS is rough...

It is a very cool truck, BUT.... If I wanted that truck and was seriously bidding on it, apologizing ahead of time would not make me feel any better about this thread. It makes it seem like you knew better but could not control yourself...
