oh forgot to say, I did download all the TMs and have been trying to read them. Need to print it off really as I find it difficult to read on my laptop. Lots of pages to print off though!

Thanks again everyone. It's all good stuff. It's great to have this lifeline because I am completely clueless...that's what I've learnt so far! I got a new battery and she's starting 2nd time now...seems to be the way she rolls. So far so good. Trouble is I need a belt and filters. The belt's...

Thank you for your reply. I'm interested to know where you get your parts from? There must be places in the UK (that I haven't found yet, but still looking) but even Germany would be cheaper than shipping them in from the US. As for the left side driving, I'm getting there... ha! My road...

It's all being checked out as we speak, hopefully it's all good.

worked out how to do the pics but it's slow going!

How do you upload more than one picture at a time...that one took ages so gave up on it!!

Hi again, Here's an update for those who are interested...sorry it's been a while! I'll see if I can add some pics of the dash and engine in a bit. Both batteries were flat. One needed replacing but when they were back in the truck she started up good with the help of an aerosol. She's now...

Well I'm really enjoying this steep learning curve! This is want I wanted...to get my teeth stuck into something juicy!!! And juicy it is!! I will start with the manuals and get reading. I'll post some pics of the dashboard later on as I've got to go out now. Also, answers raise more...

Just a bit of my background so you know what level of advice to give me... I've got a bit of experience with old British cars (had a few Fords from the late 50s), but that was 15-20 years ago. Did some work on them but nothing major...silly little jobs really! Had modern cars since then. Spent...

Thanks everyone! That's lots to keep me busy. I'll charge the batteries first and see what happens, then look at glow plug and fuel situations...that right? Rustyshackelford...I drove it for about half an hour on day one and the engine was running for a bit longer...that must mean that fuel is...

Thanks so much that's really helpful. Flat battery must be an English thing...we all say that over here lol!! So...fuel is half a tank, so that's ok. Yes I have glow plugs and a load of spare ones but don't know how to change it if needs be. I'm pretty sure it's the batteries the more I think...

I have a new (to me) 1984 Chevy M1008. Started and ran good on day one...days two and three...won't start :???: It's turning over but not starting, and today the turning over has slowed down to a chug and finally stopped. Is this a flat battery? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated...
