That's a good idea, I should have completed that prior to reinstalling the power plant. Never even thought of that modification.Now would be a perfect time to install a steering gear "frame reinforcement kit" .
Do you really think that is needed? I never seen a stock truck with a broke frame unless it was used as a plow truck. And I will add if someone was poor on maintaining the truck and drove it with bad axle joints. But never seen a stock one.Now would be a perfect time to install a steering gear "frame reinforcement kit" .
AC, you know what you ought to do? It came to me as I was saving your pics for future reference. You ought to put all of these pics into a single album here on SS, and link to it in a sticky in the "Helpful Threads" section.A few more pics as requested. Replaced all of the split loom with new high temp loom. New oil and P/S lines as well.
I'm trying to get this truck back together as soon as I can but the antenna work load is busier now more than any other time of the year.
Mine was just showing signs of frame strain when I bought it. So I immediately installed the frame kit and have had no further damage since. It was never used as a plow truck either. It had been taken off-road a lot though by the military.Do you really think that is needed? I never seen a stock truck with a broke frame unless it was used as a plow truck.

Rust spots never end on Chevies for some reason. Get some good quality spray primer and finish paint in the correct color of your vehicle. Keep them with the truck at all times, along with some sanding sponges.Sprayed some rust spots with fluid film. I need to get on some rust repair sooner rather than later along with weatherstrip install.
I see you are in Frankfort. Maybe drop by if you ever come over towards Paris.Sharecropper that is a pretty sight.
That's how I had planned to keep both alternators in my M1009. Dual pulley on the compressor and separate belt to alternator.New 2.25in exhaust and got the AC system charged on the 86 M1008.... it works and no leaks!

Would the M1008 side tanks fit on a M1009? I could need more fuel capacity to take advantage of the local price difference on diesel.Changed out the IP and a few other parts.
