    Dodge w250

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Dodge w250 Iceland. Wow, you must be a diehard. I'm in Canada and I can't get parts. Thanks to 9-11 and all the new rules and regs on surplus dealers, its very hard to find those willing or legally able to "export" to Canada( we're on the other end of a bridge or out...

    M882 project finally started

    Right now, any pics would only be of piles of parts and a truck on 4 stands. The M880 is just about redy to go. I pilfered the back bumper assembly and replaced it with a civy unit. I installed an old 2" hitch and a spare tire hanger. I swapped on the 16.5 rims andtires from the 882 . Someone...

    M882 project finally started

    After a 2 week garage spruce up turned into a all winter ordeal, I'm finally starting my cummins powered M882 project. The first job is sorting out the 2 trucks I have. I am raping any good parts from the 880 and at the same time stealling unneeded mechanical parts from the 882 to make the 880...

    New here, just bought a 1977 M880, so of course.......

    The one I just bought has a brand new set of 9.50-16.5 Bridgestone Duellers on it, and it looks real good. My other one has 265-75-16. They are a bit taller and fill the wheelwells nice. The other choice is 235-80-16 as used on my Cummins trucks. They're tall and skinny and take lots of weight...

    There was NO floor under the aluminum plates. The roof is rotted even though he said it was good, and the rad support is rotten too. Oh well, the first step is to man up and admit I got snookered. I should know better by now, but sometimes, my gung- ho still overrides common sense. I am still...

    Got my M880 home today. As usual with eBay, the term Rust free has different meaning to different people. Anyway, its still pretty good. I have to call Saturn Surplus and start scrounging parts.

    Some more questions from a rookie

    I have always gone by this rule. If there is a bigger engine that will bolt in, don't waste your money messing with a small one. A 360 (from a truck) will bolt right in. All you need is to weld the little balance weight onto the 318 torque convertor. Mopar Performances sells a kit for this for...

    New M880 owner

    Long, sorry. My plans for this truck are for it to be mechanically updated for use as a daily driver. My daily commute is about 80 miles round trip. I like a vehicle that is big, tough, safe and reasonably economical to operate. My plans include an accurate cammo paint job, Nascar style black...
