Good evening all.
I am searching for a replacement fuel filler hose for my M1031.
I a relplacement NOS hose is no longer available, does anyone have part numbers for a replacement hose and filler neck?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Good evening all. Got some fun done on the M1031 this weekend.
got the spot welds drilled out of the floor pans Saturday, prepped to be replaced. Started taking all the paint off the trim for the grill. Removed the headlight buckets to be cleaned sanded and painted. Progressing slowly.

Over the years I have also found that coca cola in a bowl will clean the circuit board very wel. Rinse in clean water, let it dry and use dielectric grease.
Well, school has started. So my time to play in the shop is growing is growing scarce. Made good progress today. I am trying very hard while sanding to not get down to metal. Moderate success… but finished the rough sanding of both doors, removed both doors and finished priming the brush guard.
Good evening all. A lot of good progress made lately.
the M1031 truck box come back from sandblasting tomorrow.
got a lot of work done learning to sand and paint this weekend.
replacement cab corners and floor pans are ordered.
Amazing what was used for body repairs by the Army
Thanks for the input. I agree with you. For now, i will change the hoses and bleed the system. I will have the rotors turned and new pads( there is a squeal when braking.
Thanks for the input.
question. If the system has not been opened, should I bother replacing any thing other than the hoses and then bleed system with fresh dot 5?
Good morning all!
Todsy I am reaching out for advice. I am questioning if I should replace the wheel cylinders and rebuild the front calipers. There are no leaks. I am going to change the brake hoses because they are all exposed and have gotten brittle.
please let me know what you think.
thanks.
Good evening All.
I have taken a different direction in locating my steering difficulties under and removed from throttle. I am going forward with removing the work box to have it wet-blasted rather than try to sand around all of those rivets. I plan to lift with pipe jack stands and then...
The weather here is not good today. But, at the next opportunity will be looking at all of the suspension connecting points to look for loose or broken items.
The change in direction is significant enough to have to make steering corrections both when apply throttle and releasing throttle.
Greetings all!
Some new work completed, more work found...
The new fuel tank, sending unit, fuel lines and lift pump are in and all is working well.
Still gathering brake parts before taking the truck to the tires shop for maintenance on the brake and cooling systems.
During driving lately I...
Today’s update. The new fuel tank has been installed, with freshy painted brackets and mounting straps. I was never able to find a fuel filler neck hose. I have replaced the fuel filler vent hose. I have also changd the fuel lines from the tank to the hard lines and the ones under the cab making...
Hello all,
Today I tried paint remover. Mixed results… It did soften the red paint. Still a real pain to scrape it off.
Still mostly impressed with the gator sanding wheel on the sidegrinder.
