Dana 60 fronts are the best out there. I've never seen an abundance of them around here and the ones you find are not cheap. As some have suggested, get a 14 FF from a 3/4 ton and the matching front. I have a set of axles, Dana 44 front/14 FF rear 3.73 gears from a 79 Suburban out back waiting...

I have seen 3 - 1 tons with the dealer installed Cummins. In the later 80's I had a GMC General with a Cummins and had seen these trucks while getting mine serviced at the Cummins Shop. One was a pickup and the other 2 had service bodies on them. I didn't think much about them at the time. Now I...

I stumbled onto this link on another forum. http://www.richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/AirShows/Chino2008/Highlights/index.html

$2500 sounds fair to me, too!

The page I posted is right from the Cummins brochure. So is this one!

Cummins is no stranger to GM light duty trucks. The Cummins 4 and 6 "B Series" were available in some GM 2wd pickups and P vans before Dodge even had them. In the middle 80's you could go into a GM dealership and order one direct. The truck would be built at GM and then sent to the Cummins...

The speedo/odometers in MV's are often inaccurate. When I'm running 55 mph Garmin gps indicated in my M1008, the speedo reads 66mph. Big disparity in distance traveled also. I'm sure if more owners checked the accuracy of their equipment there would be some surprises. That said, I wish I could...

Around here the guys that have been oiling vehicles for years use chain saw bar and chain oil. They say it's the best for the is application.

I ordered a set of 050 and 070's last Friday and even though Monday was a postal holiday I still received them Tuesday. Great service from this vendor!

It's a GM 14 bolt.

For more than 25 years I have been running 32/11.50-15 and 33/12.50-15 tires on a pair of GM K 10's. On the pickup, which for most of the time it is unladen, I run 35 front and 31 rear. This gave a good ride and even tread wear. If you run around empty most of the time, over- inflation of the...

Re: CUCV dually! I heard the one in Columbus, Oh. last week went for $2950. The truck advertised in "heaven" shows up as having a 208 in it,($15k). I've bought 4 new civilian K30 dually pickups over the years. Two had 203 cases and the others have 205's. Never a problem with any transfercases...

The transmission for a 2.8, 3.1, and 3.4 V6's will NOT bolt up to a Chevy engine. There was a 3.3 Chevy 90 degree V6 that had the V8 pattern. I believe there are 3 GM tranny cases of this vintage. The Chevy pattern, the Buick/Cadillac/Olds/Pontiac pattern, and the dual pattern. These dual...

Blackbird! A pic I'd taken at the NASA Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama last year.

Old pics! Back in 97 while on a cycle trip I stopped at a small airfield in Beaver Falls, PA. They were having an air show with many interesting planes. I ventured to one of the hangars that had a partially opened door and stumbled upon this beauty! It was there having some repairs done.

At the time these CUCV pickups were made the standard civilian K30 was rated at 9200 for the SRW models. This did not include the optional Z76 Commercial Chassis Equipment which consisted of F58 HD front stabilizer bar, rear stabilizer & G60 rear main & auxillary springs. I think the Z81, and...

For tire comparison I will use a BFG Mud-Terrain for example. LT 245/75R16 30.7" - 677 revolutions per mile at 45mph. LT 235/85R16 32.0" - 650 LT 255/85R16 33.3" - 625 LT 285/75R16 33.1" - 628 LT 315/75R16 34.8" -...
