It is not unusual, the driver and fuel are both on that side.

A great light duty truck! Jump in and run its wheels off. We have two and love them. I would go about anywhere with mine, good mileage, simple to fix and pretty capable off road. The major issues always seems to be the glow system and fuel issues, occasionally a charging issue. The rest is just...

Looks great, thanks for sharing!

They must have three piles. My first one took 65 days. My second one 11/18 is still out, my third one 12/13 cleared 12/22.... Glen

He went with a 4BT, it seemed to heap big plenty oomph...

I am sure I paid full tilt, it was 6.86 with tax at the local GMC dealer for two genuine GM bolts. They are a little different than the originals. These look like they were knurled with a knurling tool. The originals looked stamped. They did say the 6.2s were known for doing that. They had...

That 715 had about ten grand thrown at it by a guy that had great mechanical, design and fabrication skills. I would trade a 1009 and a low mileage M1008 for that one and never look back. It has to be the nicest M715 that I am aware of.

I usually use a second jack under the oil pan with a heavy chunk of wood to support it, just enough pressure to support the engine. If you slide the crossmember out from under the mount, those upper bellhousing bolts are much, much easier to work with, that little bit of angle is well worth...

Buy some 41/2 to 6 inch bolts if you are replacing the flywheel. Pull the coolant lines, replace the stock bolts with the long one, drop the front and rear drive lines, disconnect the transmission and transfer case shifters, unhook the speedometer, pull the dust cover, remove the torque...

Funny you should post this... when I picked mine up at Jefferson City, my first adjustment was the inside mirror, from the windshield to the passenger's seat. It came off in my hand, nice way to start your recovery...

Looking at how thin the majority of the accumulation is and the drip pattern without accumulation on the area parts, the wet differential, I would guess that your lift pump is leaking or a hose there abouts. Many times the fuel leak will find the battery cable and run down the pan rail. Those...

We had a 42 Ford cabover in a shelter belt for years, I wonder if it is still there, nice application of head lamp buckets!

I know of several area ranches with the 6.2 still working after 25 years, hauling feed and fixing fences, everyday economical work horses. They are great in that application. They just cannot stand a lot of rpm, especially for extended periods. Glen

I got lucky today! When I fired up the M1008 this morning, no warning at all, clunk, funny grind, I figured the starter broke something. Since it was running and the wife and son were sleeping, I drove it to work and shut her down. I called my son and told him to meet me at the truck when he...

That my friends is a Wreckermanism if I ever heard one. What a statement, I love it. Glen

Sounds like me, bought it because it was cheap and different, darn thing moved in and took over!

Boy if you get caught in traffic or slip up, it could get really UUUGGGLLLEEEEEEE in a BIG hurry!

Maybe I can bring a deuce and a M105 this year!

I bought my first one because it was cheap, dirt cheap. 700 dollars and I spent about 400 dollars fixing the flywheel, starter and putting a pair of tires on it. I always liked the sound of the 6.2, guess it is a 6.2 thing, kind of like that Whistler turbo that everybody raves about (until they...

Must be the 1986 model, we have two of those. 8)
