Congrats on the purchase. Kinda neat to see where the truck goes as part of me goes with it. The bed was once mine! Anyways, check the deuce forum for the stickies for doing a recovery. Lots to learn there for sure. There is even a list of essential tools you will need. Most of all, have...

Take some time and check the line from the primary to the secondary fuel filter. The line crosses under the front engine crossmember and sometimes gets crushed.

While I don't necessarily agree on changing the weight distribution, I'm not a technician or salesperson in that field. My common sense physics approach doesn't see it but I can be taught. I think the cast u-bolt saddles are an excellent option for those not wishing to change the geometry of...

"If you have a 1-ton GM truck with the 1-ton axle, you will need to have a lift that moves the springs down from the frame to create clearance for the ubolt plate. Examples of these lift types would be a shackle flip kit or a new deeper arch spring. A stock spring on a stock truck will have to...

Richard should have a good running count on those, he'll be the one cooking them.

I have found that even a half full saddle tank can be easily lowered and raised into place with a less expensive trans jack for those who have one in their arsenal of tools.

I think the 350 number is pretty close. I hope to be able to track that a little better this year.

80,000 CUCVs with a savings of 1' of wire each means they saved 14.87 miles (yes, miles) of cable. I've never priced cable by the mile but would imagine its costly.

For as easy as the tanks are to pull, might be worth the effort to have a looksee inside. If you have a boroscope, that might be an option as well if you remove the filler hose!

73 days folks. Sock away that cash. $5 a day for 73 days can get you some swap meet goodies for sure!

Awe crud. Rest in peace George M. Me thinks Evil Dr. Porkchop is affiliated with George. Prayers for the family!

The biggest flaw of the M35 series. They really should have had wipers on both sides of the windshield.

Those utility covers are so useful. I had a steel one on one of my trucks. It's currently on an M101A3 as the truck now has an SECM body.

Welcome aboard. Much info has been covered so I will only touch on 2 things. At the top of the CUCV forum there are helpful stickies. Refer tothem often as 95% of common issues have been covered there. Don't be intimidated by the TMs. Remember that TM 9-2320-289-10 is the operators manual. -20...

Might have been a 3rd world country where you make do with nothing, often fatally. You should see the conditions that the shipbreakers work under in Bangladesh. Horrifying. Thank God forn ROPS.

I think it would be fine for moderate use. If you plan on loading it up pretty heavy then going off road then reconsider. The trailer is rated at 1500#. Guessing the box comes in at 600# or so.

Is there a possibility that the 79 was a cab/chassis truck? The have a longer wheel base and use the carrier bearing. You should be fine without it on a pickup.

Death wobble was a huge issue for mine. Even with the sprung steering stabilizer it was hard to control. When the block was abandoned, the death wobble left with it.

I bought my flywheel and such through Rock Auto. Been well over a year and still haven't done the swap. I will look for an invoice but don't hold your breath. Also, you will need to clearance your bellhousing to clear the 6.2 starter.

I have run the 60 stsering arm block before. I don't care for the design. Torsional stress on those long studs must be massive.
