Persuader.... One came easy... one was a little more stubborn.

It's ironic I replied to this as the fronts on my newly acquired M1010 are seized on. As soon as they wouldn't move I thought of this thread. Even swung a sledge at them... No Joy! Soaked the lug holes with PB for the night. Not walking away totally defeated, the rears came off... Doh!

I noticed that both ends were on the plug! I made a point of keeping it. The placard for it said 24v 60amps...

Inner fender and some CAD work on the front battery tray

We always had one in the shop for crusty wheels! Leave a couple of lugs on and swing at the tire... https://www.amazon.com/Capri-Tools-C102-Hammer-Orange/dp/B00OM4GAVS?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00OM4GAVS

I agree with it looking better but for me it's more an OCD thing. I worked on cars and trucks for many years, from beaters to restorations. I look at the wiring in my truck and there are loose wires and a wirenut on one by the alternator and I just see problems down the road. I will clean mine...

I keep looking at these pictures and dreading this...

Some interior disassembly... Lower bunk 81lbs... ramp between seats 12lbs... Wall padding 6 lbs. Finally getting to that last hose clamp to replace the hose... a pain in the ass! What is this green stuff they used to seal around the filler neck? It is seriously hard.

A good coat of rust encapsulator while apart...

Dodged rain drops yesterday but got a little done. Four belts are on and tight cleaned all the connections on the bus bars on the firewall and reassembled it. I've been trying to clean grounds whenever I come across them also. Cleaned a some other parts but didn't paint anything with the rain...

Thanks for the offer! The only one that is really bad is the one for the front tray and it's mostly flat and easy to make. The other two came off easily and should clean up. I ended up getting the inner fender through Summit and it is very similar.

I got the alternators back in place which meant the inner fender was no longer being used as a table. New inner came yesterday and matched up nicely to the rusty one. While removed I cleaned some and sprayed rust encapsulator in the hard to reach areas. I removed the supports from the old fender...

Just a few updates... At this point all glow plugs have been replaced with AC 60G's, All wire ends on the glow plugs have been replaced with good heat shrink/ epoxy ends, all return lines on the injectors have been replaced, New lift pump installed as well as the gasket on the plate behind it...

Nice looking M1010! I saw it on Craigslist... it disappeared quickly. Who shipped it for you? Did you feel the price was reasonable?

Brad, The top is where the heater screws into the housing, no pump there. While posting I forgot that I bought a outboard primer ball for that very reason. I read about someone else using here on the line into the fuel filter. I have been using it for draining the old tank, It worked very well...

Here is a link to the valve: https://www.groco.net/products/valves-seacocks/fuel-valves/fv-6-port-series Be sitting when you look up the price! Jamestown Distributors had the best price. I can send you a free shipping code, which they sent me after I purchased. I got the lines from...

My valve came in... it's beefy. I've decided to use the existing hole in the floor. It makes it accessible and not too intrusive. I started on the lines under the hood and mounting the new filter. I still need to replace all the return lines on the injectors. I also did the one between the...

Progress is being made... Things are coming in and coming together... progress is being made on the fuel system and clean up continues. Seems slow but it has only been a week. Need to find some tank mounts and a skid plate for the other side. Also looking for a passenger side fenderwell...

I understand it's not bad, the way it's setup seemed to work when I heard it run. Similar to the link but without fuse or circuit breaker DH Relay = Done! As far as the alt's, I'm thinking the dual 12v ones... I'm working on how I want to do it... I found the valve I want to use and figuring...

Thanks! Going to put some work into her to get more reliability! So far found the glow plugs are 12v, resister is gone from the firewall. New ends on glow plug wires which are basic crimp on one without insulation which will be replaced. AC60G's are here. Relay for doghead is here. Needs DUVAC...
