Nah, sorry. I don't mean the hook assy. I mean the plate it's mounted to and some tubular steel behind it. I'm not familiar with the mounting system obviously. The bumper already has a crack and I was thinking about fabricating a new one when the weather cools down. When I do that I'll...

Thanks. That's helpful. I was able to track it down. Buyers 8 ton. They sell replacement balls. From the looks of it someone overloaded this thing a little. I'm not sure what the stock config looks like but there's some reinforcement bar behind the mount and it's very slightly bent.

For some reason the tow ball is missing on my pintle hook assembly in my m1009. I'd love to put a 2" ball on there. Has anyone had any luck finding a good match? The shank diameter is pretty close to 1.25 inches but not quite for some reason. I tried this model and it doesn't quite fit in...

As I would expect. Did you straighten the piece there or just cut it out and weld in a new piece of angle? I still don't have an oxy rig and even if I did I don't think I can get that piece straight again. However, I have a mig and I think a 1.25 square piece of tubing would look great there.

Just to chime in...I just went through this nonsense and considered an electric pump. I decided to change the mechanical pump instead, mostly due to the fact that the appeal of my m1009 was the lack of electronics in favor of simple systems. Changing the mech. pump sucked and took me about 3...

Why do I see so many of these trucks that have damage to the center lower piece of the brush guard, near the front license plate position? Is it related to how they were tied down / trailered when they were in service? I keep looking at mine and I want to fix it but I think I might just cut...

Interesting, thanks gentlemen. I'm staring at my mill and my lathe and wondering if there's a better way to do this with a locking mechanism. Cucvrus, not related to this but I got one of those $20 fuel filter bases with manual pump from China. I didn't use it. I got an FM100 and put a pump...

I finally got my truck running and now I'm trying to fix the "small" stuff. I want to replace the missing rear window crank so that I can actually get in and out using the tailgate. Looking at the parts still remaining and then looking at the cranks for sale for the K5 on Ebay and such, I...

Southern Power Systems of Orlando (407) 293-7971 Clarcor 29578. If you call Clarcor (think this is the same company as Stanadyne Filters, which is not the same as Standadyne anymore - ???) $28.57. They will get you on the shipping, but apparently everyone does. All the places online wanted...

Quick update. As of this morning the truck is finally running! Big thanks to gimpyrobb for the hook up on the FM100. It's a really nice unit. I may post a picture of the latest part number for the manual primer pump. I believe all of the FM100 stuff changed ownership a couple of years ago...

Finally had a chance to change out the mechanical fuel pump today. Man, what a pain. It took me over two hours. Now I could probably do another in 30, but I did a couple of things wrong. To anyone else doing this: Don't remove the pump plate on the engine unless you have to. I was having...

Are there affordable head studs for that motor? They make a huge difference in equalizing torque and pressure on the heads. Although not sure how common blown head gaskets etc are.

Thanks for the tip. If the second row seats aren't as adjustable, I'd better pass and look for some front seats.

Found some 60/40 seats locally from a Suburban. '01 I think. The owner says he thinks it's the middle seat. Will these swap to the front of an m1009? I don't mind making brackets if necessary. Rotated the picture...

It's a 350 with a 400 crank. Popular swap. I have one in my Z28. They are torque monsters. That said, I would stick with something with a GM warranty. I think they might have a 383 in their catalog now. If they don't I imagine they would have a 400. It's pretty easy to screw something up...

What's the best source for this? Basically all the seals on mine are shot and I want to replace all of them.

GR, I tried to PM you. I'd like to get the current price / options and possibly order one. Thanks.

For the horn? Wow. This gets more interesting by the day. I imagine some needle nose pliers will remove it but obviously I know little about these trucks. I whiffed on the fuel filter questions. Apparently the stock base has a heater and a water sensor, so sorry about that everyone...

Well, this is interesting. I just pulled the tape off. That looks like a diode stuck in that terminal.
