I would get one at the store. The past record I had with shipping radiators is poor. I used my 20% of coupons on parts for a few other projects I am currently working on. The Yeti tumbler is a retail $40. item. Any way is good. Not a huge fan of re-core price when new is lifetime warranted and...

If it were a newer radiator I would say yes. but being it is 30 years old the tubes are very thin. I have a shop near me and when he sees these radiators and looks inside he says that need re-cored. That is a $400. job. And with the $325. new you get a lifetime warranty. If you look at most the...

I also recommend Prothane radiator isolators. About $20. + or -. GM big block insulators 1968-1991 1968-1987 PN # 7-1712-BL looked them up on Amazon and bought them thru prime. 2 days and on my desk.

I get a commercial discount and that was with the tax. If I do the math correctly it comes out to 10% on the price plus 6% state tax. So average about 4% off list. Make any sense? it works for me. And this month a free Yeti 20 OZ tumbler with purchase. I have a Yeti ice chest. Expensive but...

Radiator received, inspected and paid for at Autozone. 100% damage free plastic tanks aluminum core. $310. out the door. Nice light weight and ready to install in my M1008 project. I recommend this product. ****

I am back. The Autozone radiator is plastic tanks with aluminum core. I was delighted. That is my preference. It is mush lighter weight and does the same job. We have evolved from the brass and copper. I see NO ill side effects. I have a few trucks I work on that have 300K miles and still have...

The oil lines O rings will stay with the metal oil lines when you remove them. Use patience and penetrating oil along with a 3/4" flare nut line wrench. Work them back and forth. Do NOT force the nut to come loose. Pay attention to the aluminum tube. It may have seized to the steel nut. If you...

I just ordered a radiator Spectra B850 from AutoZone. I hope the fun is short lived. I am going in the next hour to inspect the first one they received. I will report back. I need one for my M1008 project.

It has 2 holes. If it is a direct drive starter the bracket has a round M8 hole. And an oval 1/4" hole. The M8 hole goes on the block at the same place the front part of the tin starter heat shield is mounted/bolted to the block. That hole in the block is a metric threaded hole M8 1.25. Do not...

I would go under the truck and in the corner of the cab corner on the under side. They put a 1" round metal plug in place. I would remove that plug and wash the corner out really good. i would NOT go scrapping down in there. That is a tight area. And if it is not rusty. I would clean it good...

Progress report. Slim progress. But any move forward is an advance. Nice painted drive shafts. This fuel tank is not rusted thru but not worth the time to clean and coat. Recycle. Fuel tank skid plate will also be hurled on the recycling pile. I have a few that have been in the barn since the...

Where would one find these drawings? Would a set of cab corners give you the correct information?

Very carefully. They are as brittle as fresh crisp potato chips. Careful with the shift cable slide area and the left out ear. I have a fix if any of these are broken. Never break again. Good Luck. Now that you have it out. I hope it goes back in as easy.

I don't remember. No one tried to assist me so I didn't bother answering back. I know it has not been anything he mentioned in our recent conversations. Could have been bad fuel or the fuel filter. Not sure.

I have a secret recipe for the side window channel runs. Check out my Terminus M1009 thread. I rebuilt that junk gate and it works and functions very good. The amount of money was minimum and it is as solid as a new one. Not as straight but as solid and fully functional.

And a word or advise. Please oil the bell crank, folding pin and the knob. Use 30 WT motor oil and clean it up on the outside after you lube it. Do it often and you will never have problems with your rear window crank. I have the same ones on several M1009's I own and use them hard on a few. If...

Imagine you have the window up or down in full extension or retraction. You want to fold and stow the handle. With out that slop/free play the handle would not move in either direction to be folded and stowed. Make sense?

NO that is a T bar and it is supposed to have that free play. I think you are picturing it like a Love Joy joint and it is similar with out the rubber. It has the free play to allow back off and folding of the handle. Hope that helps.
