Thanks.... It is to remember

I think maybe it is just to see if the old Girl has it anymore rustystud. And there are plenty of those kind of mmm I was going to say Drivers but will say steering wheel holders on the road to be concerned about. You know I have had at one time a 38, 49, now Dads 50, now presently a 56, all...

Looks Great and it does help with ingress egress. The one good thing that GM added are grabhandles. Having 80's trucks I still have Diamond Plate running boards around somewhere in the garage. Also pulling on tilt steering wheel, after a couple years I am retightening the column bolts. Maybe...

Welcome from Missouri!

If there is water, antifreeze, then you are on a teardown condition. Headgasket, or worse cracked block from freeze out, cracked cylinder head, probable. When clearing the fuel line you may have pumped a cylinder with some fuel. Pull glowplugs and that will relieve pressure, fluid in cylinder.

Welcome, When going through some maintenance items did you look at or check the radiator for antifreeze? I am with Tinstar and pull the glowplugs out. They are pretty good indicators for the condition of starting. Hydrolock is when there is fluid in the cylinder that can not be compressed and...

After further thought, rut roh, doghead has a serious thought that I would look at first myself, chaffing cables, wires. That will happen on all equipment no matter how new or old it is. Bulkheads with any kind of power source going through SHALL HAVE a rubber, plastic grommet inserted in side...

I like using NAPA chem washers and their protective spray, red color just like frank8003 used on his terminals. If you look at his pictures you can see the red stain from the spray that helps with corrosion and ark track, dirt on the surface of the battery that drains the positive terminal...

Hello TM1008, Looks like you have an idea of what you would like to order from Summit. Do you have a catalog or are online shopping?

Have you been to Summits website? You can order a catalog or browse online? I am sure that you can find just about anything that you want. Also TM1008 just wondering if you have to convert from English to German or vise versa? Is it that you need help to interpret?

Never a Dull moment for your Puppies? Very cool, keep on plugging away. I always liked the Military Engineer equipment. Using zinc additive is a very good idea if the oil you are using does not have any, which most auto oils do not have any longer. Great thinking especially if the truck has...

Very great looking MV, Repaint? Shackle mounts Kind of silly thought but have you checked axle joints, bearings, axle bolts? Goodness forbid but cracked frame rail, loose shock mounts? As nice as the truck looks does not appear to have been abused, but looks can be deceiving. Good Luck

I was thinking the same thing, that another make may cross reference or be pretty close. Maybe even save a couple bucks. It looks like 77 AMG may have a line on it for you.

That is one reason that self serve auto salvage has going for it. While you are surfing for your part you can shop along the way and get some replacement parts that you may need later. Good job of analyzing the problem and moving on to a solution. One reason I inspect a new replacement part at...

That is Good that someone in the business has a whole kit that is probably compatible to the original parts. I also have original parts in the barn to grab when needed, is great. I also bought 2 new kits from GM twenty years ago and put them in the garage for the day that I would have to use...

Do you still have the ok sway bar hooked up in front? Soft in turns is kind of surprising, tires underinflated? Well if single wheel K30 then it will ride a little bit better, but still not smooth. Rear springs stay the same while fronts are changed to up arched leaf springs. Shocks can help a...

Welcome from east, central Missouri. You have a very kool project. Where did you procure said vehicle? I if possible would start by finding every part possible that you can. Will be a great responsibility but maybe you can find the rare one of a kind parts. If not looks like you have some...

Welcome from Missouri! I like the camo pattern on your 1078. Looks to be in very good condition. Have Fun with your truck, do not let her sit to much. Remember to keep those seals well lubricated by driving every other week. Most times the MV's sat for long periods of time, when new. Now with...

Wow that is just how fast something can happen and not being able to miss a fateful event. Grab now the Spirit that binds us all, Family. Never let go the feeling when you travel Gods creation, the Earth. I will stop throughout my day and Pray for Ron, and ask God to take care of Ron for...
