    Picked up a $500 m1009 Sh*tbox. No key? Hotwire?

    I'm not very familiar with the cucv, but most gm starters can be jumped by touching the big post on the solenoid with the battery cable to the small post on the solenoid with a screwdriver. This will generally suffice for an emergency scenario or just to test the drivetrain. And congrats on...

    Suitable generator for home backup?

    My mistake. I realized after I posted the link that he was talking about the 805 vs 005.

    Suitable generator for home backup?

    Suitable generator for home backup?

    As I understand it, the 805 can be reconfigured to run single phase. I don't know the specifics, but I believe it looses capacity/output when doing so.

    Congrats on the new wheels. I'm in the south east corner of Kansas, if you need anything on the way through.

    Seized my engine!

    After an event like that, I imagine that it's going to have to go to the machine shop to be turned anyways, so I would think they could remove it.

    Question about 5 ton purchase/ ownership

    Eventually, you start making up uses to justify them. Haha. Used mine as a mobile work platform today. I had loaned out my pole saw and needed to clear some limbs. After I get the hydraulics for the bed going, I'll haul some gravel, etc. But mostly it's just a toy to drive around.

    choice between 1970 deuce or 1987 deuce.

    If you take a look at the rear suspension setup, you will see what they are talking about. Has a walking beam type of setup. Needs to be converted to a traditional leaf spring and shackle. Typically they shift the axle to line up with the new bed they use, usually off an m105 trailer.

    Which 5 TON is the best option for a toy?

    While I have never driven any other style of truck to compare it with, I do enjoy my M51A2. It's not fast. It's not quiet. But fun, just the same.
