There is a specific reason why they don't work but I forget what it is off of the top of my head. But as an FYI there is one other type of injector, the coarse thread injector used only on 1982 Civilian models. To top it off there are multiple variations of the long fine thread injectors based...

You can get a diesel compression gauge set from harbor freight for about $35-40. You should go ahead and put on a new filter if you haven't already. Next test all the glow plugs and make sure they are good. Then a long slow process of bleeding the fuel lines. Sounds like one or two cylinder...

I think it was the military drivers that were hard on the engines more than anything... I have a spare motor with 27K miles and a rebuild sticker on the IP. How do you kill the IP in 27K miles?

Also, you can stuff the 1/2 ton axles into the 1 ton without modification by just prying the leaf pack into position if your only goal is to keep it rolling. I wouldn't do that if you plan to put it on the road, but it would be fine for rolling around the driveway.

Crewcab C20's actually use the 1 ton frame with lighter leaf packs is all.

But, either way you go, you have some work ahead of you...

You would have a starting problem if you removed one alternator and drove around for a couple days.

If you don't have starting problems after a day or two I'd guess your rig has been converted to 12V. But, if you take a look at how your batteries are hooked up you can tell at a glance. Positive to positive and negative to negative is 12V. Positive on front battery to negative on rear battery...

If your not rebuilding the tranny, just run the original.

If the tranny fluid is low, it is going to do damage to the tranny quick so that needs to be corrected first. After that you can start troubleshooting further if needed.

The spring perches and shock mounts would also need to moved on a 1/2 or 3/4 ton axle to fit the M1008 CUCV.

You would have to change the case to get all the updates on an '83 transmission. Run the #'s off of the tranny to see what year it was, maybe he had a different core used already... you will still need to buy another core for the output shaft though. And the 2wd and 4x4 cases were slightly...

The '83 700R4 should be avoided as a starting point, you would end up needing another core anyway for all the parts your missing. Than and you want one from an '87 or later with more of the updates if you want to go that route. 36" tires and 4.56 gears would be a good combo for the 6.2L and the...

Not chastising... just giving my opinion to give balance to the conversation. ;-)

I know it is possible, but to the average person without any machining equipment it would be cost prohibitive. I've designed my own 8 to 6 lug adapters... but by the time you look at the cost it is not worth the investment when a 6 lug 14SF will do the job well and with a lot less hassle. Then...

That is easier said than done. The bolt patterns interfere with each other and the hub would have to be machined down for the smaller wheel center opening. Much cheaper to buy a 6 lug 14SF and move the perches to fit. If you don't plan to go with very large tires the SF is plenty strong and...

Here is one being parted out in TN. Parting M1008 CUCV - CK5 Forums

This is the only pic I have handy... http://www.crazyk5.com/photopost/data/537/2008-01-29_025.jpg

Everything connects to a hose at some point, the hard lines are already on your engine. If you decide to add the secondary filter as well would be the only reason to change the routing a little bit. I can snap some pics of how it all is setup on my '83 this weekend, just don't have time tonight...

1982-83 Chevy trucks with a 6.2L came stock with them. You can buy a wix filter to fit that base as well. In aftermarket supplies, the options are endless. Your mainly limited by what you want to spend.
