I will check it over well and let you know for sure. Today with the rain we are just going up quick to see what's for sale. We may come on Sunday to sell stuff if people will still be there.
I have a guage cluster from my m1028 I would let go.
I will be there with a few parts from my m1028 project and some M12 gun racks to sell.
One thing I am looking for is a tall boarding ladder for my truck. I'll have to get some measurements and see what I need. Probably find one that's extra...
Long time since I've updated this thread. Got a fair amount done on the truck but it's still.not driving. I switched to a 4L80E transmission because I got a good deal on a used core to rebuild. After getting mine done and all the parts to mate an NP205 to it, I would go the 2wd 4L80 route. I...
Made it out today. Was hoping to see more parts for sale but I say that at every show I go to. Didn't find the bumper I wanted but did get a good deal on some Humvee pickup side rail/seats for the bed of my CUCV project. Lot of cool stuff there.
This show is this weekend. Who's bringing the good stuff? Still looking for a step CUCV rear bumper and a 31gallon blazer gas tank skid plate. Some other little accessories that I don't realize I need yet too. Looking forward to this. Bringing my dad and nephew too, we've been hitting the flea...
Thanks man. That is a trip. I have come across some cheap m1009 bumpers locally but really need the step bumper since I plan to use my truck quite a bit. I am probably just going to build my own version of a CUCV rear bumper with 2" reciever tubes in place of the smaller CUCV shackle mounts so I...
I live in Aberdeen in Moore County. Not looking to pay a ton of cash for one I see some people asking like $4-600 for bumpers which I think is kind of nuts. I have a really nice civilian bumper on the truck now I can modify but wouldn't mind an original one if the price is fair. Thank you, let...

I will be looking for some parts for my project truck and hope to have it drivable by then to take to the show.
I need a m1009 fuel tank skid plate and possibly an M1008 type rear bumper of I don't end up building my own similar unit...
Thanks for the info. I will get this ordered up. It will be easy to install now since I don't have the t case yet either. Shopping for fuel related stuff rn. Going to put in a suburban tank with in tank fuel pump. I will add all this info to the thread later on too. The older NP241 I'm looking...
The factory oil pan on the LQ9 and 4 fits fine. There is a lot of room on these trucks. It dropped right in with no clearance issues aside from the oil cooler lines as I mentioned. I don't see where the axle will interfere with it at all either. They don't have a lot of travel in stock form. I...
I will eventually do AC but that's not a priority for a while. Will need to be a top mount setup because the regular location interferes with the LS swap motor mounts. If I end up having problems with the 60 trans I will upgrade at a later time but I'm gonna use the 60 for now. My motor was out...
Splines on these shafts are also not cut all the way around. There is a section that is blank to prevent you from putting them on in the incorrect orientation. It's not worth trying to tear down a gearbox and replace seals and parts of you can buy one that will just bolt right up for $200. Check...
I'm in the process of putting an LQ9 LS 6.0 and a 4l60e trans from the same truck into my 84 M1028 5/4 ton truck. I will update this thread with problems I encounter and what I did to resolve them.
I installed the engine and trans bolted together into the truck without removing the core...
Been wanting an M1008 or M1028 for almost 20 years. Just sold my 86 C10 to my dad and decided to buy and build one how I want it. Putting a 6.0 LS and 4 speed trans in it now. Looking for the rest of the parts I need to complete the project. Building a nice driver and work/tow rig out of this...
