I've found in motion metropolitan areas there seems to be at least one shop that specializes in suspension components...from lift kits to re-springing tow trucks. I would seek such a shop out and bring the trailer to them to examine. I have 2 A3 chassis trailers...one with a MEP installed, and...

Valid logic. If a guy were to piggyback, I'd suggest this that I just found on the 73-87 Squarebody page. You'll see it's the identical bumper as the CUCV bumper is but only chrome. Part numbers and ratings are stamped in as this is a factory tow bumper. A touch more conservative than my...

Hitch looks great from here, nice work! For my curiosity, I referenced Draw-tite's website to see what a hitch for an 86 K30 would rate at. Class III/IV Weight carrying 500 Lbs tongue 5000 Lbs tow Weight distributing 800 tongue 8000 tow Weight distributing 1000 tongue 10,000 tow Class IV...

Local club? Is it like a MV club? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

This is awesome given the availability of things. Are you going to make anything available? I'm in the process of bringing an 802 back to life presently. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

@Light in the Dark if you build it, they will come. I have my doubts that it would be a very profitable venture for a niche market, but sometimes there's things more important than money. You can put my name on your list, I'll take a handful of them...bulletproof stuff rocks! Sent from my...

ETrailer and Croft would have it if it's available to be had. The hydraulic brake system on these was duplicated from boat trailers so we know all of that is easy. Before you call them, rip one hub apart...get both bearings super clean so you can read the numbers. The bearing numbers will be...

This may chafe the purists, but for the same $200 you can get a remanufactured unit from O'Reilly with a lifetime warranty. Or from Rock Auto for $125 to $225. It's the same part. For those dollars, there's no way I'd go thru the hassle of having a special tool machined, buy the kit, and still...

I saw an original NSN rebuild kit on ebay a few weeks back. Rebuilt units are very common at your favorite parts counter. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Check the TM section of SS, I'd bet a dollar you'll find it in the TM. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Wow, that pic looks oddly familiar...hahaha! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Warn, Warn Premium, Superwinch...plenty out there to choose from. If you're going to order them from the web or a big giant like 4Wheel Parts, tell them it's for an 84 Chevy K5. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Depends on which civvy factory bumper you're comparing it to, but only potentially in the rear...absolutely not in the front. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

@cucvrus absolutely 100% do-able. Same lugnuts too. I run the OE GM cast aluminum wheels on both my 116A3 and my K25 (tho I need a custom lugnut to do so correctly). Be prepared to see an approx 3" difference in trailer ride height, tho the unsprung weight will be notably reduced. Send it. Sent...

The CUCV is/was a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) solution meant for logistical/background supporting roles, not intended for combat. They were derived directly from the civvy trucks with a few things adapted for military service such as bumpers, lighting, and 24v NATO starting systems. Shy of...

Road tractors (semis) have done this very thing since the dawn of Diesel. Old ones drew from a single side and had an equalizing line at the bottom of the tanks. Modern/current more closely resemble exactly what you're describing but with more intricacy with mismatched tank sizes. I say try it...

I recall the dashpad being a civvy twin...LMC Truck has some offerings in the color pages in the center of their catalog that show well on paper. Classic Industries, USA1, Tucker's...a Google search for Squarebody restoration parts gives a cornucopia of stuff to filter thru. I've noted in the...

What went bad in the unit you're parting out? Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk

Google Translate is built into both PC and mobile Chrome so as to make a website usable. With this tool you should be able to register and contact the seller. Google translate can also be installed as an app...give it a word/phrase and it will give a technical translation, just avoid all slang...

@Jayhawk#44 the 5K Comfort Zone heaters were going for $100 ea when I got mine from Amazon. They're available from many online retailers and occupy the space of about 4 stacked shoeboxes. My opinion, unless tinkering is your preference there's no better or cost effective solution I'm aware of...
