My M1028 truck went to a small mountain fire department after serving in the Air Force. Someone there put in a momentary switch and it works great, just have to remember to push the button and hold until the GP heat up enough to start. I have put about 3,000 miles on it since I bought it and...

in too please

I am heading to Plymouth tomorrow to spend the weekend. I am going to set up the MKT and have a great time looking at all the other folks rides. Since nobody started a buy/sell/trade thread I thought I would start opne since I spent the day packing. I live close so I can return home if I forget...

So after spending the better part of 2 months refreshing my M1028, I figured it was time for my maiden voyage. Drove from Sacramento to Las Vegas to Yermo and back to Sacramento,. Knowing I was looking at 55MPH or so max speed, I took the scenic route down the back side of the Sierras on 395...

Really getting excited about this show......has anyone started a thread for buy/sell/trade stuff yet?

If you go to the Expedition Portal website, they have a ton of threads on building camping trailers from ex military trailers. I am sure there is a thread where someone actually did exactly what your wanting to do. Much greater likelihood of finding an answer to this as there are a lot of highly...

Did you finish the project (as you know we love pictures!)

Well the warm air has made me want to drag her out and open her up. I have a bunch of new goodies to add (thanks Mike!). I plan on dragging the MKT up to Plymouth on the 29th for the weekend and try and trade/sell some of the extra goodies I have acquired over the last year building my MKT. I...

Howdy neighbor from California. Are you in northern of southern Nevada?

All sorted out...ended up being a bad connection in the fuse box. When I pulled the fuse out, cleaned up and bent the contact to make the fuse fit tight again ......we have power!

Hi All....so I was trying to install a brake controller on my M1028. I opened the dash bottom to get to the brake switch to splice the brake controller to it. I had batteries disconnected already. I exposed the brake light switch and removed the connector and put power back to identify the cold...

Awesome......love the strata blue. Too bad my USAF M100 is not an M105 then it would be a match made in heaven.

Here is the thread. Convert M105, M200 or other air over hydraulic brake trailer to electric how-to | SteelSoldiers

I did the same with my MKT. Installation was easy, only parts needed were the brake actuator, an adapter for the actuator to the military brake line and a mounting plate for the actuator. The brake away battery box fit on the plate for the air tank and a simple bracket attached to the frame for...

That's awesome.....I am sure there are plenty of folks that cooked on them that would not agree with me, but I find opening it up and preparing a feast is a lot of fun. Glad to see you have been able to get her up and running after that journey across the sea.

If your referring to the dark blue, its called Strata Blue (see my profile picture of my M100 trailer)

Super clean truck! So they marker lights you got from LMC? I didn't see them listed in the Chevy stuff for 84 year truck. How do you like their cupholder?

Hello all......Just bought a nice M1028 and am trying to restore it back to stock shape. I have been able to find most parts needed whether from folks on SS or through retailers dealing with restoration Chevy parts. The one thing I have scoured the internet for and have not had any luck (the...

Thanks

Those are awesome!. Not sure if mine will get that cool, but it will be my first start. I am handy, but no mechanic so things will go slow as I learn more. I have looked around, but haven't actually found a website that sells new dash/door panels so if you have one you could list or PM me that...
