Having worked on old tractor tires I have after acquiring tubes decided that welding thick washers to the rims either inside or outside or both that helps to seat the tubes in place. Or weld the hole shut and drill new hole. How are the valve stem holes, oversize? I can not see but do the...

Outstanding! Step by step, grounding, all connections are to be gone over and secured accordingly. As porky has said TM manuals are available. Good Luck and Enjoy!

Yikes, ok do the headlights and parking lights work properly when the headlight switch is pulled on? Yes, then the service light switch is either toggled up or it is bypassed completely somewhere by the toggle switch. Leave headlights off, right toggle drive lights down then left toggle blackout...

75 year old combat rim and tire for M3, combat damage from Battle of the Bulge. I would think that happens a lot plowing the front end in any direction. The rim is still good for maybe a welded spare, drill a hole to stop crack and grind and weld. Do not know how scarce they are but I bet you...

NDT seems to have the same habit as I. I go so far as making the washers, nuts, any assembly go back together the same as it came apart. The other issue that happens is that once something has been taken apart you take it on Faith that person put it back together properly, with all the parts...

Wow how AWESOME that your Father had the Adventure inside of him after all being 75 an maybe getting an adrenaline rush at some point and you may swing by a chiropractor somewhere by St Louis, and visit just in case you need to stretch your legs at Jefferson Barracks Park. We could maybe Convoy...

Welcome from Missouri! As for your First Post do not panic, Patience is your Guide. As mentioned by helpful Members it is wise to have some knowledge of a new acquisition before you start flipping switches. Although I would bet that is what some have done also, and its called OTJT. On The Job...

Welcome from across the State! Being on the site and looking at information will keep you entertained for, well a long time, and then some. Then being able to participate in the forum is Great also. When looking for something OD Green for sale, Ft Leonard Wood Mo. or Ft. Riley Kansas, are...

Welcome from Missouri! You can spend days looking up information and get sidetracked very easily. And then get some secret information on what special tool that will make a job much easier.

Welcome from Missouri! Great looking Truck.

Another thought to narrow down Battery drain would be to pull fuses from fuse box one at a time overnight and check for drain. To eliminate circuits may take time or take cable off each time and see if there is a noticeable spark on connection. Let me add that really anytime you are around...

I have to agree about the spring hangers Sharecropper, probably the most overlooked place for repair. I bought 10 pair of the poly, nylon, plastic, upper king pin bushings from GM 20 years ago and replace on either a new used vehicle with new lower bearing sets or after use on lifted K30's...

At least you have the gear reduction starter. Nice upgrade at the least, and saves some weight up front. Also new hardware, you can not go wrong. Be kind to your new, rebuilt starter and it will be good to you.

Hello, on your way, grounding, good clean surface on all connections, terminals, check and recheck will be rewarded. Does the truck still have the firewall pos and neg junction blocks, are they clean. The cables to the front grill, are they chafed at all, grommets in place through bulkheads...

Hello 83k30, I have had an 82 K30 6.2 since new and I believe that the spin on primary with water petcock drain on bottom and spin on secondary filters are great additions to the fuel system. I prefer Wix brand but there are others and better systems as well. In the picture I see an inline fuel...

Put on a section of clear fuel line at the return line off of the injector pump and check for air bubbles. Is there blue smoke out the exhaust? sandcobra164 has a good idea for sure, had it happen. I would like to tach my 82 civi K30 just to see what rpm I am running with 6.2, 40 over, 3.73...

Welcome and be patient. If and when I acquire one of these Trucks I will get two more for accessible parts. Read and read more, these are special trucks for a reason. Read Archives As for mobile house on wheels, and pulling a trailer, well there is equipment out in the civi market also that may...

Nice score oh I mean so sad not much to start with. I do know that I know someone that would pick up the truck if you lose interest. Old Power Wagons, REAL Military Hardware. The engine is fine as long as freezing cracks have not developed. And even if the powertrain is bad their are other...

After removing cables when incident happened did you try to connect cables back to see if starter was still engaged? Many things could happen to create problem. Starter solenoid, steering column starter switch, burnt wires going to starter, at starter, starter out off alignment. Being truck is...
