tire balance, condition of tires ie. out of center , out of round, rims, steering stabilizer , shocks , check wheel bearing tightness , kingpins, steering box to frame, spring mounts , has your truck been modded in any way or is it pure stock?
it's one of those things that no one wants to ship , they are out there and the 880 is the same, best to keep going to the the MV flea markets and talk with people , the Dodge tarp has a OD glossy finish and there are 2 types for the CUCV , the early style with the metal eyes and the late style...
have you solved your fumes in the cab issue yet? I had the same problem with my 1009 , but I knew what the issue was , it was time for a fresh IP and did the injectors also, problem solved , does your truck smoke a lot on or after start up?
you do understand that these vehicles use silicone Dot 5 brake fluid, I would suggest that you flush your entire system and see where you end up , you could have anything or everything in there,
with the pre bent line kits you need to order the kit for the 1 ton dually , Think the place I got mine from was Interline , I installed the stainless kit,
I hope you will also shed light on the M-35 vehicles produced in other countries such as Canada and South Korea, both having different engines and transmissions than the US production trucks, then also the test vehicles,
after you are done get your truck oil sprayed, also check the truck for water leaks , they all have them, and you need to get the oil into the vehicles structure, almost all the sheet metal parts are out there new after market,

you need to install a block heater , solves a lot of problems , you can also get your truck going with a dead glow system, the glow system on one of my trucks is dead right now but I can drive it every day , last night -13, if you get the new hi torque starter there is a GM service bulletin that...
do you guys have a special class for the vintage vehicles? great job , I just finished a Canadian Forces Line truck with MUCH more rot , I used bearing grease under the hood hinge seals after the rust repair, lucky for us on this side of the pond body parts are cheap and plentiful, again great job!
also check that your knuckles are as tight as they should be and check , tie rod ends, etc, and media blast your brake drums ,40-60 years of paint can give you one crazy of a wobble, you may also need to get the drums balanced, did all this on my deuce , drives like it's on glass,
Up here the trucks are VERY hard to find , Canada only had 500 trucks in the system and only 1008 & 1010's , most were turned into plow trucks or messed with by Bubba, but they do turn up, I have 2 trucks that came north , a 1031 & 1009 , when they do show up for sale you need to be like a fat...
here is a little bit of news on the Goodyear Gatorback series of belts, as some of you may have found out the Goodyear belt division is gone , well it turns out that Continental owns them and they still appear to be using the Goodyear part numbers, so go to your parts guys to find out if they...
