I think they were left dry because they often operate in dusty conditions and grease will attract dust and dirt. But after 40 or more years of exposure to rain and weather, they don't operate so smoothly. I say grease all the components you can get to.

No, it just means that the glow plugs are fried.

I worked at Bridgestone/Firestone for a while and the reason that truckers are going to super singles is simple... money. It cost less to replace four super singles than eight standard tires.

If it were and old three on the tree tranny, I would say that worn linkage had allowed you to jam it in two gears at once. As it is, I would bet that your linkage inside the transfer case has slipped off the detent and allowed the gears to get stuck halfway between neutral and high or low.

BTW, what is point of origin for shipping?

A trick I learned a long time ago was to put rubbing alcohol on the metal and the rubber to get tight parts to fit together. The alcohol will quickly evaporate and leave your parts firmly together.

I would start with putting some pointed guide pins in the roof that line up with holes in the back of the truck. About 4 would do it. The Camper shell clamps would work was would some welder's vice grips. The front is a bit more problematic. Perhaps some of the clamps of the type that are...

I got the 1962 Packard Studebaker in Winder,GA with the driveshaft removed. I would appreciate it if anyone could go by and take a look and see if the truck will start and if it will move with the front axle engaged.

Jeez, I wish I had know about this last week and asked me to bring one. I am in Wixom, MI and I would have GIVEN one to you if you came by the hotel. At least I THINK it's for a M1008. It might be for an M1009 or something else. Don't know if they are the same or not.

Let's face it. Anything made in China is suspect to poor workmanship, poor tolerances, and poor quality ingredients. But, hey, it's CHEAP!

Ditto. If he has 60 trucks, he has plenty of waste oil.

Use the M1008 to tow the M1009.

That's not a serious injury to a deuce. That is just an INSULT. Don't kill 'im. You'll only make him mad!

One truck I bought has a sticker that says it was shipped from Kuwait. aua

Maybe just a simple spoke pattern. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy-GMC-2500-3500-Wheels-8-Lug-Black-Steel_W0QQitemZ120412809788QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item1c0929aa3c&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1171|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

I just had four trucks delivered from Redstone to Lebanon, TN by Mike Hatfield of mdcarriers. Mike is a great guy to work with and will give you a very fair price.

If you are willing to take a chance, you can get one for less than $1500 from Government Liquidation. Parts are not hard to get and not really expensive. You can spend as much as you like modifying it or as little as you like and keep it stock.

Coming back to Nashville that Friday. I'll have a minivan that has the seats removed and is already dirty. Route will be I-75 to Louisville and I-65 home. If you have something that you want shipped for free and can meet me at the hotel, I'll be glad to haul it and store it for you...

Some people will pay the stupid price, too. I saw a LOT of obsolete Palm Pilots go for up to $175 each when they were selling on ebay for $30.

Well, did you count the number of lug holes?
