Welcome from across the pond. Great looking project. Are the 1009s hard to find there or pretty common? You will find a trove of info here at SS and the way your project looks I'm sure you'll be adding some of your own.

You can run 70-80 all day long and the 1009 wont miss a beet. But the constant engine drone will wear you down. Music filled headphones are your friend.

And hey that saw will cut them ties without a problem. And you could do it wearing a 3 piece suit and not get dirty. And he doesn't even have to climb in the truck.

It would be pretty tough to maneuver with 4 wheels spread that far apart wouldn't it?

Uh-oh, You let the dogs out now!

I think doghead is right on, head gasket.

My condolences.

Yes that's how I spelled it "exprexesedortch". (I'm Polish).

I'm lost, my spelling and grammar......but I trying my best...... If you all write slowly, I can understand the most......LOL Speaking for myself and probably a lot of others on this site, your spelling and grammar is better than mine. Lets try the reversal; exprexesedortch ?

Ill bet he will take 4K for the truck. He may be looking for a little extra Christmas money.

As seen in your photo it looks like you have a bad case of "the poor man's rust proofing" going on. A lot of oil says you have some seals leaking; thus the need to add tranny fluid.

:idea: My Christmas wish this year is for Donald Trump to build a northern wall so you Canadians can keep your snow.

That truck has a long wheel base and the bed is a 12 footer. You can tell from the overhang past the rear wheels

Now you have a "built-in indicator" telling you that the charging system or batteries need attention. This can save you costly repairs in the future.

I did weld all the antenna holes shut on both sides of the body and will close the holes on the fiberglass top when I get that far. Rick, When you plug those holes in the fiberglass top you can send me those antenna wire grommets. I can use two of the originals to complete my radio/antenna...

I think he may have tried the same route as the Grinch, that's why we haven't heard back from him since August.

You'll do just fine with that size load behind your M1009. Make sure your load is balanced and you have some weight on the tongue, don't do anything stupid like take it on the interstate at 70 mph while speed plowing or tailgating. Watch your hills in Pa. and don't pull it around in real rough...
