I just bought a M1010. I am planing on a camper build and don't know what I will be removing from my truck yet but I may have some parts for sale. I am just now trying to get it running. It has been sitting in a barn for a few years and has a few problems. Fuel shutoff solenoid, flex plate...

Good thing it is a 5.7 then I guess!

Started back on the gauge install. TIG welding in not the best but it is my first project on aluminium. The gauges are leaning back toward the dash so I can see them now. Still working on the top of the dash. My plan is to contact cement leather on the aluminum or paint with bed/trunk paint...

They were almost $1000......$400 more then I paid for the Suburban to start with! : (

I went with the Speed Hut gauges and like them. I don't like the rear leaning I got using the factory bezel so will be re-doing the dash at some point but I needed them to be in the vehicle since the odometer was not working and the speedo was not close to accurate. I like the tach addition...

I will compare your pictures to my fender first thing in the morning. I think the rear is where I am rubbing now so will look closely there. Thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it! Have a good evening.

That looks like you cut straight across the front of the fender parallel with the ground and took off quite a bit. I'm showing about 10.5" from screw on side marker. What do you have left from the screw? I think mine is hitting more on the rear of the fender butI can't tell you even cut your...

Barrman, Thanks for the response. Do you find that the ORD Rear Shackle Flip did anything to the ride....? Same / Better / Worse? Or just lifted it a little. I do like the level look vs front high. I will look into the add an inch lift for the front. i don't think a complete lift kit is...

Barrman, Quick question on your tires and cutting of the fenders.....I just finished installing H3 brakes and Method 8.5x17" 0mm offset on my 1991 Suburban...V1500, 5.7 TBI, NP241, 3.42 gears. The tires are very close to the fenders on a turn....like 3/8" clearance. The tires are Nitto Terra...

That looks nice. I like the green.

Thanks for the input. I wonder if one could use shielded coax for the signal wire and ground the shield? I am about to bite the bullet on one of these clusters so your info will help. Anyone have input on the Classic Instrument or the New Vintage USA clusters?

The CUCV uses 12 volts in everything except the glow plugs and the starter. The dash is identical to a M1008, M1009....etc. It's still a square body Chevy.

Has anyone used the Dakota Digital (RTX/HDX), New Vintage USA or Classic Instrument gauge clusters designed for the Chevrolet/GM Squarebody vehicles? I'm specifically updating my 1991 V1500 Suburban with bad odometer, incorrect speedometer and no tachometer and wanting to update to have all...

What's the reason you test fit with Aluminum but went with steel for new gauge panel? Inquiring minds want to know. Looking really good! What have you done with your old engine?

That looks real good! Thanks for the pictures. I'm hoping to get mine on this summer but time will tell.

Pictures? I have a set of front and rear M1009 bumpers and brush guard that I am wanting to install on my 91 V1500 suburban.

Way to go Coug! Nice looking truck! Looks like a perfect fit too!

Not modified that much I guess. It's a lot easier to steer this way.

I'm thinking airpac since I don't see any fluid. I'm not really sure where the airspace is or what it does but I will figure it out. If it was at the MC it would stay full or leak somewhere and be visible, would it not? The brakes work fine until I am out of fluid and when I fill it back up...
