You have me curious, what are you looking for on these plates? And what do you see that is incorrect on the A3? He's told me that he really doesn't want to sell the A3 so he priced it high.
Yours was very clean. What did you get for yours?
I'm now...
Hi CUCVFAN,
Probably 3 days. (I hope)
It's a true A1, 205 transfer case, extra springs & believe a limited slip of some sort in the front end as well. Don't know if Tom has more, he does have a M1028A3 for sale on his site, $15,000 with 8,000 miles. Here's the link to my truck...
Hi Dilvoy,
You wrote "Don't forget about the KC135" . Look back 3 posts. I agree, It has allowed us to project our power for over 50 years. All the "KC's" are unsung workhorses.
I'm picking up my M1028A1 from Alfa Heaven next Thursday, 9-7. I'm hoping to be on the road to AZ by 12:00 pm. I'll also have an LDT-465-1C w/D turbo in the back on the way home. I'll have my laptop with air-card on the trip so I should be able to post progess reports and pictures along the way...
Hey Chris,
Congrats! Good looking truck. I too am buying a truck from Tom, it's the M1028A1 on the web site. I'm also buying one of his LDT-465-1C's (Engine # K14) for my M275A2. It has a "D" turbo (Garret), non-whistler. He gave me a great deal since I'm buying a truck. It is un-rebuit with...
I've had critical items not show up when they were promised in the business I'm in (IBM). I have always begun an imediate escalation of management and demanded a status call every 2 hours or so. The higher up the chain you go, the more attention your situation gets & the fact that Bjorn is...
Hi Alessandro,
I see that you have a Gearvendors Overdrive. Can you tell us about it? How do you like it, did you install it. Are you able to drive 65 - 70 without winding-out the engine? I'm in the process of buying an M1028A1 and am looking at overdrives.
Thanks,
Hey Mike, Yah I know, Ambulancechser is saying use the M1010 type alt mounts and move my 12v alts to them. This opens up the driver side for the compressor. It doesn't look like the 12v alts would fit in the big 24v brackets. But maybe something could be fab'd or maybe they do fit. I think my...
Ambulancechser, I thought the M1010 had 2 24v alt and aren't they larger? My point is, will the 12v alt fit in the 24v bracket. If yes, then that seems like the way to go.
Hi everyone,
I just posted this in my other CUCV thread but wanted to give it additional visibility.
Hi Ambulancechser,
I've been researching all day. I've been looking at the Vintage Air site. I think a bracket can be fabricated to put a Vintage Air compressor above the passenger side alt...
Hi Ambulancechser,
I've been researching all day. I've been looking at the Vintage Air site. I think a bracket can be fabricated to put a Vintage Air compressor above the passenger side alt. It would need to be slightly off toward the middle of the engine so you could use the same belt that...
Hi Builder77,
He does put new seat covers, dash pad and door covers on where needed. He does dye them the correct color. He also installs a new floor mat with sound deadening. I don't think I'll be getting the inside to wet, but I'll have to keep an eye on the sound deadening material to make...
