:shock: Wow... six posts in and already riding the search function pony... :shock: Merry Christmas everybody, might be my 50th time typing it today, but it cannot be said too much. Glen

I just made a flat aluminum bar and drilled it for both mounts. Attached it to the core then slid it in the stock bracket. No sweat at all. That radiator was overkill. I originally bought it for a 502 Camaro project and had it leftover from play time. A friend later bought the Camaro and semi...

I ran a GM 305 V8 gasser in mine and it did super. Better fuel mileage than stock, nice and smooth power, I went with a set of shorty headers and low rpm torque cam. I always wanted to try one with a 4BT in it. I used the Novak conversion so I could keep the stock transmission, I always liked...

I think this chassis was very well designed, easy to fix, nothing really deficient. Most of them died from body/frame rot and not mechanical issues. I am not talking specifically the M1009, but the whole 1/2 ton GM fleet of the era. Nice solid trucks that were also nice to drive.

Welcome to the forums, I need to slow down and read instead of scanning. I read Washington SD. I did a quick Google search to see how close to Ellsworth AFB you were and got mostly Mt Rushmore links. I may need help with a truck at Ellsworth and was hoping :driver::driver::driver: I hope all...

That is normal, if you look at the actual listing and not the list of listings it will show the correct price. It is like the final bid does not update on the list, just on that items page.

I have done my share of stupid things with tools and somebody else's too. The one that hurt the most was testing an air tamper I had just repaired. We made a test tube outside the shop door for jack hammers, tampers etc... Basically it was a heavy walled 5" steel pipe with a hinged slotted lid...

Almost every hub I have broken, I did it by pulling hard in reverse, like rolling a tree stump or pulling bushes, trying to drag another vehicle out of a ditch... I have since switched to trying as much as possible to pull from the rear. It was pretty slick though to use the engine weight to...

These are pretty easy to diagnose. 1st, with all wheels on the ground, unlock the hubs, select four wheel drive and slide under the truck and make sure the front drive line will not spin. If you can turn it, the problem is in the transfer case. Next, lock in the front hubs and select 2x4. You...

Just a few flakes here, you have to look really hard to find any.... We will take all you want to send us though, we have been dry.... too dry... lake levels are sinking again! We had some last year though! Glen

Why not go from your computer to Photobucket, right click the image, save it to your computer and upload to the site. That is what I have been doing with phone photos, only I use Facebook as it auto resizes, the same thing you like about Photobucket. Glen

X2..... I thought what a shame that is not inside....

Have a friend you trust 8) hold the key in the start position and tap on the starter from below with a small hammer. You want to hit it just behind the aluminum bell. GM starters are bad about giving you little to no warning that the brushes are shot. Generally tapping will get you a few starts...

I had a hard time buying the bronze king pin bushings and the steering knuckle felts. When I broke a kingpin, I had to pull the housing down to a bare knuckle and take the tube to a machine shop to have a new one made. I found a street excavation at night that somebody had moved the barriers...

I vote for a 1970 Monte in the driveway... Anyway, that is an awesome truck! I had a 1957 SNB, 1957 1/2 ton Suburban, 1958 SNB, 1958 3/4 ton LNB and a 1959 LWB Napco converted Chevrolets. Locally I also knew of a There is a NAPCO enthusiast site.... The Napco Owners Group Personal Website...

In addition, I like to use a second jack with a short 2x6 laid flat between the oil pan and the jack to support the engine. Keeps the fan out of the radiator and provides more stability. Glen

You have mail, the ones I sent to you should keep you busy until the site comes up. There is a great bunch of very knowledgeable guys here that will jump in to help you out. Glen

When they get the site mess cleared up, you can download the manuals as PDF files. They are wonderful. Send me a PM with your email address and I will send you what I have. Glen
