But, the 1008's did NOT have the transfer case brace rod!

Pinion snubber is not an issue... Had to remove recently on my restoration/frame replacement w/sbc, but haven't driven it yet. As far as i understand, the transfer case rod was not installed on the turbo 400's on the 1008's, so wouldn't think it's an issue with a SM465. As for the frame...

Always fun trying to unfudge what the last wrench turner did. Then begins the "what were they thinking??????..." Deal with this on a pretty regular basis in the shop!

Did you figure this out?

Adjustment is made on nut #13 in the picture. That bracket floats free, not attached to vehicle. Frame bracket that one cable clips to, one cable passes through is further back. Which are you looking for?

I. and several others on here have used the Wrangler Duratracs. Lots of protection on tire sides and are really incredible off road. Pretty good manners on road too for a on/off road. Move up to a 265 75 16, almost 400 lbs higher weight rating than the 235 85's. Same height, but a little wider...

That style shock is junk and are generally used to supplement springs that are sagging or weak. As stated, the shock mounts aren't meant to support any large amount of weight. First thing i normally tell a customer if i see those shocks is they need springs... Just put KYB mono max on my 1008...

About 2" back from center frame support/ down bracket on lower frame rail there should be two frame rivets that went through the bracket. There's an empty third hole directly back from the two (not used). Can take a pic tomorrow afternoon if needed as bed nowhere close to going back on frame...

I would recommend Nicopp! Lasts longer and much easier to bend and flare. Double the price, but you don't have to do it again!

Mine was bypassed over ten years ago, never saw ant noticeable difference.

Probably shouldn't have replied in the first place as i don't have first hand experience with these, but do have a clue when it comes to suspension! Have looked into these for customers at the shop in the past, but always went another route. Did some internet searching on these. Seems to be a...

Don't know that i would consider 2" sagging way too much..... Can you use a different drop on the draw bar for when the truck is loaded to level the trailer or are you using the pintle hitch? If pintle hitch, obviously no adjustment. Guess timbrens would work, but then you're not really...

Springs are most likely weak. A ton in the back of my 1008 doesn't really phase it, just makes it ride nice... IMHO the timbrens are not a fix for the problem, just a bandaid!! Best bet if would be to replace springs. Second option would be to add the factory overload springs and frame perches...

I've done the 6.2 to SBC twice. Once on a 82 C30 and the M1008 Accessories won't swap over but not difficult to source brackets. I did have a 454 at one point when i first got the 1008, but decided to go SB. Big block will fit, but not as much room to work, and parts much more expensive...

Washing/degreasing motors with a lot of water is BAD... Ask owners of mid 2000's gm V8's with the knock sensor under the intake how this works out for them.

Also, take a good look at the wiring under hood and under dash. fire departments tended to add stuff and create issues.... (butchery!)

From pics that's most likely a reasonable price. With that said, get underneath and check for rust! Floor pans and cab supports are kind of a biggy! Rockers and cab corners are replaceable, but if no floor to attach to it becomes a large project.... Kind of shocking what square bodies are...

I still use my B/O switch. Works out nicely for the plow lights! Not so hot when it gets knocked to the middle and you drive around with no brake lights!

J Just an FYI for those going to replace filter and gasket. I've switched over to the duraprene pan gaskets for any transmission work at the shop(when they're available). The readily available cork or rubber gaskets are a pita, always seem to seep, leak, whatever. The duraprene is more...
