    Why is the truck leaning on the drivers side?

    I would love to get a set of Alcan Leaf Springs some Now you know your problem. Alcan leaf springs are prob the best springs you could ever get if you plan on having the truck forever. A good cheap set of junk yard leaf springs go a long way too if you are on a budget. https://alcanspring.com/

    Rare Gm part. Anyone read Japanese?

    Why is the truck leaning on the drivers side?

    Tire air pressure? Measure top of front springs to bottom of frame to determine spring sag. Check body bushings. Check axle spring plates and see if there are any shims missing if any? Measure frame to body and see if frame is bent.

    Replacing TH400 Tranny with 700R4 in M1009

    I would not do a 700r4 in your M1009 unless you have a minimal of 3.73 gears. I have 4.56 in mine and am currently in the process of doing the swap. If you do the swap, you will Benifit from a pre 1986 700r4 because it has a manual valve body inside that does not require an electrical switch...
