Maybe if you offered him a 24 pack, and a song he will let it go.... im sure not tooo much arm turning would be needed lol.

That does not look fun....

lol yep they are waay heavier than you think, espec for how small and un complicated it is. I remember when i was trailering mine back and was going up a longer slight incline, i litteraly watched the fuel gauge going down. Had to pull over twice on the incline to fill up with my jerry cans...

ya, i know its not "hard" its just time consuming. Biggest headake is the last picture, it doesn't come up well but theat bolt is rusted all the way through and thats right above the crossmember. So a new piece would have to be about 1x1 ft big. Lol i cup brushed everything yesterday. When i...

Now where you droping hints or moping around the house, or really been buggging recently ? or she did it just to be nice ? lol

Well more progress. Got the carpet out, found rust in passenger floor board. Trying to determin how far to go on the rust repair. Would love to have new passenger floor pan, all the ridges kind of scare me to recreate. No donor vehicles around me. There was tons of oil under the carpet, going...

I wish i had an awasome barn like thats, soo much storage and awasome work place. Unfortunitly open enclosed places attract stuff... like more green machines.

HEy mule, i didn't sell any of the equipment, i refused the offer. ya virus i agreee if done right don't have to mess with it again, and someone already replaced the m/c, that whay threw me, it saids used dot 3 only. Fortunitly i only had to top it off. lol ya i'm not that worried they will...

SHould have quit while i was ahead. This time i get to give partial blame to cucvrus lol. Got a new regular ignition lock and test fit it, worked. Then i read above and checkec for coded cylinders and saw alot of how to re tumble. So i switched the tumblers so i wouldn't have to re-key. All...

yep, i belive the inside of my speedo gear may be stripped just enough that the cable doesn't engauge anymore. Looks good and engages the cable if i really push the gear onto the cable. Also found out i can start my truck withough a key now, guess just added new ignition lock to my list..

Anyways after quite a bit of forums searching i found the horn schematics and found out the supressor before horn was bad, cut it...

Well i know this thread is old now, just thought i'd ask here since its what i'd like to know and bring the thread up to date. Any of you guys still dail driving your m1009 in 2020 ? If so how is it holding up, especialy with modern cars and trucks ? What kind of mpg you seeing ?

This the fun part now. Easy assembly of good parts.

Ive been looking at getting an m1009, and have located one that was a city truck and they even added a/c woohoooo. Its very clean, and in good condition. In my research of the 6.2 though, people have said the the k5/blazers have started to be expensive to repair becouse of the lack of parts for...

ONly on the early batch. Latter years, the grill had to be unbolted completely to remove.

Easiest way to do that is to tack flat corners in and to maget/clamp steel as you move forward so mext inch or so is even with tank and tac again. Rinse and repeat. As you slowly move to the rounded part, it will naturaly follow the curve. Works even better if you heat the patch metal as you go...

extra 10 gl is sure nice as well.
