    Update on M887

    Yes sir, I was looking into doing that as a last resort. To be clear my truck is a ‘77 with an ‘80 core support. I lucked out and someone came through with the correct headlight buckets that can bolt up. I still need to check clearance for the turn signals and if they don’t fit I’ll have to...

    Not an M880- but cool picture.

    Nice, I like seeing these pictures from the past. Easy days with less worry.

    Update on M887

    I lucked out and found someone with a dash cover, radiator core support, and inner fenders. It was about a 2 hour drive to get them but it was worth it and the owner was a good guy. Did I mention the gentleman also gave me both front fenders, a bumper, and a glove box insert for free? I’ve got...

    CARNAC's Historical VIN INFO Thread

    I was thinking that was the case. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing the info if it was available.

    Any ideas

    Does anyone know if there’s aftermarket reproduction or any place that has the radiator core supports available for a ‘77. Mine is completed rusted out with only the upper radiator hose holding it on. I’m in the process of prepping my M887 (W200) for painting but I can’t go any further on the...

    Need opinions

    I’ve been trying to get some history on my M887 and while doing so I began to slowly remove layers of paint. Does anyone have an idea or give a guess as to what the unit marking might be? I’ve just started to work on the bumper number (front left for units I was in. I also found a number in the...

    Replacing ignition system with new system.

    Yes, I realized that after I had already opened the box and installed the stuff up to the point where I am now. My old distributor was showing a bit of wear so I figured it needed replacing and I needed a spare ecu, ballast resistor and coil. I didn’t realize it was coming with a 2 post...

    Replacing ignition system with new system.

    Hey y’all, I’m stumped on a wiring question and before I cut any wires I wanted to see if anyone has experience with this kit. I’m particularly confused on the ballast resistor and the coil hookup as well as where to get the ignition feed start and run. I’ve already installed the distributor...

    The thought has crossed my mind regarding the screws vs rivets as I’ve always seen on any other vehicle. It did come with a title and I already transferred the title and registered it in my name but I haven’t had a chance to dig any deeper for other vin locations other than the door frame one...

    In the rush of life/work balance I forgot to post a new member post. Anyways I’m new here my name is Clarence, but my friends call me Fletch. I spent a number of years in the Army as an 11B/11M. My family and I picked up a 1976 M887 last month without the box and needing quite a bit of body...

    M887-update

    I’ve got the truck running fairly decent after cleaning fuel line out and replacing the fuel filter. Also replaced various hoses in questionable condition. Then I replaced the plugs, wires, coil, and installed a missing ignition module. Also sanded down all surfaces and made new ground wires...
