I looked at a few 1008's and one 1028 before I bought my 1028 from cucvrus. At the time there where none going though GL that where close to Ct. Every time I looked at a private owned truck it was cut up. To many mods and high prices. Like Rick said I wanted a bone stock truck. Restoring is no...

Truck1. Nice clean install. Thanks. Brian G.

I scored a new VR 10.000. Warn winch today for free. One of my customers bought a new Jeep and it was already on it. Dealer installed. Well she wanted it off so I got it. I wanted to mount a winch on my 1028 since day one. I may even mount it in the rear. I would like to here ideas or see how...

I wanted to get rid of some of the drone these trucks make from trying to suck air through the 3 inch hole in the stock air cleaner. I made up a nice intake hose with 3 inch flexable tubing and couplers that ran from the stock air cleaner to a hole on the inside of the fender between the...

When I bought my 936A2 I gave the fuel setting 3 turns and I think it pulls pretty good for what it is. It will run down the highway at 55-60 MPH on the flats.

At home resting Parked at my shop. I'v been driving it every day for about a month now. Trouble free so far. I love it.

I agree Cucvrus. The Right Stuff is the best. Permatex also makes one that is a grey color. I can't remember the name right now but it is alittle firmer than the Right Stuff. both work great. Clean all the surfaces with brake clean or if you have the 3M # 06396 adhesion wipes use those. I'v...

It's not the number of rows. It's more about the size of the tubes. You can have 3 one inch core tubes and it will cool better than a four core with 1/2 or even 3/4 inch tubes. Most high performance radiators are built with less tubes but larger in size.

Sure blame me.:-D I have your old truck with me right now. She runs great. I have a new Vette home and my dulley both with air and I'm driving this old Chevy truck with no AC. Whats that tell you. I think it's all your fault for selling me this one.:-D Have a nice day. Brian G.

Rick. All you need to do is pull the lock out of the windshield rubber and the glass will come out real easy. No need to cut the rubber. Brian G.

Rick. It looks like you are having a case of project creep. I seem to remember this starting out as just fixing the head. Once you get paint on it, it will look great. Camo makes everything look brand new. Next thing you know you will be pulling the body to do the frame. Keep up the good...

I'll tell you what I'v done with my CUCV. I,m enjoying the s--- out of this truck. I did put the tie downs in the bed a few days ago. I also want to get my trailer hitch on, maybe this weekend. I'v been driving this for a few weeks now and I love it. I always liked this body style Chevy...

Check your trans case. We bought a real nice rust free 1008 from IP and found a bent drive shaft like most. We replaced the shaft and the truck drives great. But we had a trans fluid leak when it sat over night. Got it up on the lift and found the trans case cracked like an egg all the way...

I see your in Ct. I own a collison shop in Seymour. All the new panels came from Keystone. They are at my shop everyday. Besides that I can pay much less than any of the mailorder places.

Sure go ahead. People need to see that it is worth bringing these trucks back to life.

I'm almost done with this project. I don't have any before pics here but It was not in the best of shape. The body was beat and rusty. So most of that is new. But drivetrain wise it runs and shifts like a clock. I replaced all ft end parts IE tie rods, drag link, all new shocks, sway bar...

I ordered my seat cover from Brothers. They said they had burgudy color OE style seat covers. So I took a shot. Color is great. The pattern is not the exact match to the orig. but real close with the correct looking grain. It was super easy to install and comes with the hog rings and hog ring...

I ordered a new dash pad from Brothers. Same dash LMC sells. As I expected not the best product. If they had a stamped steel inner frame like the OE dash it would be a great product. The foam is very soft and is all you have to screw some of your dash bezel into. Also along the bottom just above...

Just my two cents. But I agree with cucvrus. Time after time over the years I have had guys with all kinds of 4x4's bring there trucks in cause the have probelms after doing a lift. I for one have never done one on any of my trucks and never will. My 1028A1 is as stock as they come and drives...
