Tough call, especially if you add the weight of a plow. The front fender fang is awfully close when turning and stuffed. One might get away with an 1" Rate Add a leaf or an EZ inch (similar products), but if the ubolts come off the rabbit hole is pretty close by at that point.

Pictures are good, stock suspension 33s. For comparison sake, here are a couple of squares at the feed store. owner of the blue one said 4” lift on 33s, if I remember correctly. Post up what you end up choosing, good luck.

Welcome aboard from the other side of the bay. Good looking truck.

Good call on the respirator reminder, an overlooked item of PPE, for sure.

I can see the pictures. But have not seen a hitch like that. I added an aftermarket receiver hitch like Barrman mentioned.

Congratulations Sir, that's a fine looking vehicle you purchased. Real nice work cucvrus, well done.

Very true. It seems that many things require work and effort. Whether we are willing to do it or not is a different story. Steelsoldiers is the best place to start in my opinion. There is an M1009 in the classifieds that was recently posted. Link here. If you find a private party that is...

Congrats on your purchase, looks like a great start!

Welcome aboard! Good luck with the search. Don't let the sentence I highlighted discourage you. One can do a lot of what is needed with normal tools and without a shop. Could have fooled me, I wish some folks I work with wrote as well as you do, college degrees and all.

Glad to read you and yours made out ok. Good job on a successful motor swap. Post up if we can lend a helping hand from afar.

That's really cool german m1008, congratulations. I'm excited for you! And looking forward to the great pictures you post from your road trips. Are you able to track your "package" in real time?

Yes on factory GM. I'm sorry I meant Packard terminal, not Packard connector. Packard terminal 56 in particular. Used in multiple locations, one of them the bulkhead connector. If he had that apart to change the wiring harness, could be bent, dirty, etc. again shot in the dark. I've had to...

Front's starting to look like that rear. Beautiful the pair of them. Whats the procedure with Frosty Bite and Mapp gas? For stubborn bolts I'm guessing, heat then cool real quick?

No video that I know of, but there are wiring diagrams. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/cucv-wiring-diagram-color-except-m1010.75505/ as well as other Helpful Threads. Just shooting in the dark but, did you clean up all the gunk GM used at the connection on the firewall? Packard...
