    They caged the brakes because it doesn’t run? I figured they caged them release the rear brakes to tow it, or maybe a brake issue like blow. D yeah where the remnants of the lime facility is. I never heard it called that but I like that name better. I been here 10 years and I’m 49 years old...

    Seems like they would be caged for towing or maybe air leak in brake system. The auction ad says they could not start the truck but the dash pictures show the oil pressure gauge at 40psi and both front/rear break pressures up at 120 or so(obviously running) Hoping I can pull the cage pin and...

    Thank you for providing the sketch and your experience with just 2 batteries instead of 4. Believe it or not we get winter weather up at the top of Haleakala but it’s a 37 mile steep curvy curvy ride from sea level to 10023 feet that takes minimum 2 hours. Other than that it’s always between 65...

    I’d love to find an S280 shelter but that is light years away. Thanks for the info.

    Looks like most of the drain plugs are intact. The auction site typically says “all fluids drained”. I have had great experiences with some items on GP and I have been straight burned on others. It’s always a cheap shoot especially site unseen.

    This picture looks like the rear brakes are “caged”? Am I correct? Why would brakes get caged? I read through this...

    So the delineators are not a stock item on the islands? Are they only used in certain areas? When were they started being used? None of the other local trucks had those coMe to think of it. I also have not seen that type of tailgate either. It seems like it is hinged lower than the bed height...

    Damn I thought that air box looked like ac?? Thank you for clarifying. What do I know. 🤔Thanks for the advice. 2 batteries, good. I’ll look into the fire truck trimark door handles 030-875 and hopefully the cut out will hide the dents.

    Hello all, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dennis. I live on Maui island. I just recently (last couple months) became interested in the M1078’s that have been selling rather low out here in Hawaii. After lurking on this site, perusing valuable research information I decided to pull the...

    Ok. That seems like an easy fix. Wish me luck.
