I don't have my M1008 nearby, so I can't measure myself. But my buddy did give me a lead on a couple of new Chevy squarebody's that were dropped off at a junkyard. So I'll be on my way out there to see if I can snag a new bench seat, seat belt, and dashpad.
Does anyone know the bolt size of...
I've been having various troubles with my glow plug override button and dash lights. I'll try to go through these one by one.
First, the glow plug override. If I push and hold this after a few weeks of not running the truck, it rarely starts. I've learned that if I "pump" the button or hold...

This M1008 I picked up is so full of mouse poop that I'm convinced I'm going to need to completely gut the cab to clean it out. Does anyone have good diagrams or step-by-step instructions for this process?
I'm new to an M1008A1 and the site, so I've been doing the basics.
Hosing out all the mouse poop and piss. Trying to find a solution to the smell.
Added some radiator sealer to hopefully stop the leaks.
Cut off the handy chain lock for the steering wheel.
Getting ready to pull the heater...
