I forget what campsite prices were. Water and electric sites are more than primitive, of course. Gas stations amd food stores are about 5-10 minutes away.

Karen began installing guages (boost and pyrometer) this weekend. I also have an Autometer diesel tachometer left over from another long-defunct project that will be going in.

Various M880 drivetrain and axle parts available. Shoot me a PM if you’re looking for anything specific.

As would I, without one iota of reservation.

Have never ridden in a chopper of any kind. May have to do exactly that!

Bolts right in! I've done it in the past.

The Holley 2280 was the late '70s/early '80s replacement for the Cater BBD. It would make for an okay retrofit as long as you got one without all the lean burn/spark control bullcrap on it.

If I could not have found a W400, an m886 would have most certainly had been my next choice. Almost bought one on a couple different occasions, but the stars didn’t align quite the way they should have and it didn’t happen. And that’s a good thing, because I finally found what I really wanted...

We have one of those Motorcraft carbs from that guy on eBay that was *supposedly* tuned for our truck. Never did get it to run satisfactorily. I haven’t totally given up on it though. Pretty sure the adapter that he sent with it was warped. I believe it’s a Mr Gasket #1309 that is the exact same...

Go to RockAuto and order a Rochester for a ‘71? Valiant or Dart I think you will find it. In 1971 there was a strike at the Carter Factory forcing them to use a Rochester carburetor for a brief period.

Who is the gentleman from SC with the Drop Dead Gorgeous M1079?

Drove up to Maryland yesterday and picked up another Dana 60 equipped with 4:10 gears. This will, of course go under the front, and I’m going to have the rear regeared.

Methinks the W400 will eventually be equipped with Sirius XM as well.

In like Flynn!

Bummer! :cry:

Is it too early to start a 2018 thread? I was contemplating doing it myself, but didn't wanna step on any toes. :oops:

Don't have a chrome bumper. In fact this beast didn't come with a front bumper of any kind. As of right now, I am seriously considering installing the "Walking Dead" bumper that came on the M882 when we first took delivery of it. I also want to modify it slightly to carry the spare tire and get...

Was planning on scuffing it up a bit with some 150 grit, shoot over it, and hope for the better. LMC Truck sells an “argent” paintable grille, but I’m not sure I want to drop 175 beans on it.

Forgot to add: Got a new bulb for the Unity spotlight and got it working again, so It will be going back on later. I decided to eliminate the three amber clearance lights that were over the cab (actually my electrical tech did that for me, told me that she didn’t feel like hooking them back...

Got the grid heaters hooked back up and working. Determined that the windshield wiper motor wasn’t working, so have a new one on order. Air, tilt, cruise and intermittent wipers. Three of those features this truck only dreamed about having when it was new! Got the cabover piece to a state...
