    Wheel Spacers

    Found a D70HD - now I have to take a look at the axel I have on the M1031 'cause it sure looks the same - just narrower. Definitely not a 14 bolt - has 10 bolts. Gonna have to look at the tube diameter and for stampings next time I get back home.... So my next question is, if I have the D60 like...

    Wheel Spacers

    What 14-bolt? The axle on there is a 10 bolt, since it started life as a M1031 I am guessing a Dana 60. Maybe I better go look more closely at it / measure the tubes!

    Wheel Spacers

    So all I have to do is find a Dana 70HD, swap in the 4.56 and Detroit Locker, convert to discs (just 'cause) and swap the front hubs for "dually" hubs. Easy-Peasy. But $$ might be a bit much unless someone is parting out a M1028 A2 or A3... Any takers?

    Wheel Spacers

    So.... after researching the TM's I come up with a track width of 67.8" on the front of both the M1028A1 and A2/A3 and 65.8" for the A1 rear / 75.8 for the A2 and A3 rear. Something seems not right here to me. This must be the width to the center of the front tire, but for the rear - the outer...

    Wheel Spacers

    Lets just say you have 4" worth of lift (ORD with zero rate for example). If I wanted to run stock H1 12bolt rims/military wrangler 37" tires, how thick would the front spacers have to be? I get a variety of answers when I search - depending on how much trimming was done it seems. Also seems to...

    indicator lamps

    I am relocating them to the central portion of the dash, at the top, to the immediate left of the glow plug lamp. With some careful Dremel work a pair of M35 dash indicator lamps assemblies will fit. Swapped the bulbs for 12v equivalents. Took the caps off then CARC painted the red lens lower...

    indicator lamps

    Saw the same sketch but i know mine had the gen lights up top - and it didn't show the built in (small) lamps above/below the main gauges.

    indicator lamps

    Yes it does quite a bit actually, now I can trace out the wires... Replacing the 4 lamps with OEM oil pressure, rad temp, tranny (oil temp) temp and a clock, replacing the fuel gauge with a combo 5k tach and fuel gauge (have to eliminate the 2 lamps underneath), adding 4 M35 indicator lamps (2...

    Oh - the reason I just can't go out and look for myself - the dash and truck are 600 miles away in Portland!

    indicator lamps

    Am in the middle of a dash rebuild/redesign - and (duh! :-( ) forgot to mark what indicator label went where. If I remember correctly, the right hand cluster of 4 warning lights was Gen 1, Gen 2, 4x4, oil pressure. The dual set under the speedo I can't remember, ditto the pair under the fuel...

    Sacramento area CUCV shops

    Does anyone know of a good shop or SS member in the Sacramento area that can work on CUCV's without messing them up? Have a concept for a new dash setup using newer GM gauges and a tilt column but it may be bit above my skill level/tools.

    2nd fuel tank installation 1985 M1028

    They say it's Suburban only - but I think if you remove the brace the spare hangs from it might fit. Will PM a sketch - you'll have to measure up your rig and get back to us...

    CUCV Seats

    Anyone know of a bench seat that will (1) fit in a M1008, (2) Side forward right up to the dash and (3) fully recline? Trying to mod up a setup that with a re-bent transfer case shifter and either tilt steering or a removable steering wheel, will slide up/lay flat and make a decent bed in the...
