Iv been a shop owner for over 30 years. In my experience a few bubbles in the body means it's rotted. Always turns out to be much more than you think once you get into it. Also, to dismantle the whole truck for a complete color change alone is many hours of work. Body, doors fenders hood, all...

Don't toss that old tie rod. With alittle grinding it makes one **** of a pry bar.

My brother and I had two of those back in the late 80's. We bought them from Sikorski airport in Stratford ct. We towed them home with our M543. Man they where heavy, but our Mack powered 543 pulled them just fine. They where still gas powered and the eng. on back that powered the blower was...

I was very happy to see the new rad was alum. All the cooler lines came apart like new. I also anti seized all the line fittings. I took Dude for a ride today to make sure all was good. Job complete.

My 1028A1 had a radiator fail last week. I installed a new Rad. inc all new hoses. Considering all the cooler lines it was a very easy job. The old one was copper brass. That sucker was heavy. The new one is alum.with plastic tanks. Much easier to deal with. Job all done and back on the road.

I put my 1028 also known as Dude in the barn for the winter. No New England salt is getting on my truck.

Sem Rustshield gloss black. Any autobody supp.house will have it. I'v been using the gloss and semi gloss for well over 20 years on very expensive restos. One of the best chassis coatings out there.

Will do ..Thanks

Thanks. Looks like I need to take a trip to the plumbing store. By the way. What size are the fittings? They look like 6- or 8- AN.

How do you know the tires have reached the pressure you want, so you can shut off the feed ball valve? My 936A2 has a few tires that go low after sitting a few days . I will build this setup in a heart beat so I can just start the truck and have the tires air up. I like the simple way this works.

My 936A2 is the same. Manual cable for throttle. It dose lock all the brakes when the PTO is engaged.

I'll check that out. Thanks

Are you saying that there is not supposed to be a valve stem in the valve that is mounted to the hub? My CTIS worked when I bought the truck. I had a local truck shop switch a few tires around and the system stopped working. But it dose have valve stems in those hub mounted controlers. They may...

I did exactly that. Very simple fix. All done. Now I'm going to replace both u joints and go back to driving him. The truck has a name that CUCVRUS gave it. It's Dude.

After doing some research.There are a lot of diff. 14 bolt GM rears. It looks the axles in these CUCVs where only made 84- 87. The pinion assy pulls rite out as an assy. Just the 6 bolts in the flange. That bearing in the pic is called a pilot bearing. Once the pinion assy is out I need the...

My 1028 has been flawless up till now. I bought this truck from Cucvrus. I must say he maintains these trucks great. Every system in this truck worked perfect when I got.it. A few days ago I could hear a strange noise coming from the rear of the truck. It sounded like a brake shoe fell apart...

The fuel door you can still buy from GM. I bought one for my 1028 last year.

Amen to that. Mine has been parked all week. This is AC weather.
