    It does not have the welder in it as I thought and was pretty sure it did when I was bidding on it. Picked it up to find it empty. Yes they were GM rims but I got rid of them today and put a different set of GM rims on it.

    I put a 700 in my M1028. I had to buy an adapter from, I believe, Advanced Adapters. With this adapter, I did not need to change drive shaft lengths and I was able to keep the stock tail shaft mount. The adapter included a spacer to go in between the tail of the trans & the stock tail shaft...

    Used humvee tires

    I put them on my M1009 and will soon be putting them on my M1028. I bought some well used ones and they have a little shake to them even after balancing them, but that's around 80MPH.
