    Dead electircal in cab after jump start

    Unified Unaffiliated unaffiliated, it sounds like you've been around this stuff for a while. It wasn't enough that I boosted and fired as the A- nator could not get enough juice built up to keep the batteries charged. The idea of an additional "boost" with a charger and another battery makes...

    Battery's charged Pinwormfood, you fired up yet? I just finished charging both batteries and everything seems golden. Let's plan for you having the same luck. Do I need to bring my charger down there?

    Choices of tires for 1010 & 1031

    Lift and tires I got excited when I saw that.....nice look. Did you lift yours to get the 37's to fit? Details Wish we would have gone with a bigger tire because water still gets in with my 35's on. I get a little rub when in extreme terrain but the tires are 315 70R 17 Dunlop Rover and might...

    Lurker from Canada

    Oh, Canada Welcome to the MV World. I posted a couple of pics of some West side M135 trucks that can be affordable on original purchase and a pleasure to work on and drive. CUCV's can be a great starting point as could be that WWII jeep sitting in a farmers field that needs to be saved from...

    Media Blasting Split Rims

    Split Rims Kill Split rims have killed before and it's a good thread to revisit again again again. A Steel/ google search on "split rims" nets a pile of information on how handling splits requires a lot of respect. They're coated coming out of the plant but messing up a paint job on them...

    My GMC, a little update

    Hardtops, mirrors Made a quick trip north and got a few more pictures. The first pic is a rear panel full of bullet holes coming from the inside of the cab. Might be hard to explain at the border so I'll keep that one, unless you want it? Lots of good parts to choose from.

    My GMC, a little update

    Starter I go away for a few days and you build a truck. Great progress. You don't have a starter? One should consider starting with the starter before you start. We're going to pay $200.00 for an aftermarket one up here. Shall I feed the dogs and get the sled ready to bring it down there or...

    Electrical Hey Gunfreak, it's similar to calling the mechanic and asking him what's wrong with the car because it's making a cucucucuc noise. Now that I'm buried in old wiring and sorting things out one wire at a time, it's not so bad. 23 to 23, 19 to 19, 75 to the brake switch, 75 return to...

    Carb leak Thank you Butch, You may have it, I know the truck sat for long periods before I bought it and the carb was great, up to today. Dry seal, stuck float...... The pump must have a pressure regulator/valve that tells it to stop pumping when the "silly" valve in the carb operates...
