    Anybody know where to get lift shackles?

    These harmonics destroy ujoints just like a bad balancer hurts crank life.

    Anybody know where to get lift shackles?

    Driveshaft angles is an area often ignored by the lift kit crowd. Many feel that tilting the pinion up towards the transfer case corrects the angle but in fact hurts it unless you use constant velocty joints. With conventional joints the angle at both joints should be the same to cancel harmonics.

    Super Cool Ambulance

    Yeah, the cab a/c is super useful too. The other thing is the pass through. The M1010 passthrough door requres you to be on hands and knees to pass through. This design (M886) has the tall cab roof and a taller pass through door.

    Super Cool Ambulance

    This just closed today on an auction site today. Sold for $1332 +fees. I listed it with the CUCV because that is the closest category. Bob H has the Dodge version. Enough babble, here are the pics. Sorry, none of the back. PS, If I had the money I would have bid on this in a second.

    M416 & M101 tire retrofit

    I'm not sure what size tires the 416 has but the M101 would benefit from the 235/85R16 tire. This is a little shorter than the 900X16 but common and affordable. If you need the height there exists a 255/85R16 but they are more costly. With your existing rims you will need radial rated inner...

    Anybody know where to get lift shackles?

    That would work if that is your preference. I don't like the saggy backisde look myself but many do. I do share your thoughts on having the factory springs rated to carry a specific load. My trucks still have to earn their keep from time to time.

    how to use the part numbers in TM to get auto parts

    Awe crapp. I remembered this thread and the link to BINCS. I'm searching for parts for the M1010 spot/search light so I figured I would plug in the cage code from the TM and determine the MFR. Plugged in 84319 and got this: MILITARY SPECIFICATIONS PROMULGATED BY MILITARY...

    CUCV seat belt differences

    Interesting. I knew the mounting was different. I need to add a center belt to the ambulance when I install the jump seat.

    EDIT: Removed text from meyerhvac Arrgh...The original poster has already indicated that he wants to leave it 24V. Can we drop the 12/24 debate and help this guy get his truck back on the road please? If you have something constructive to restoring his 24V system, please offer it up. If...

    Help with Headlights "safety"

    Were you guys holding hands when he broke the lever off and it fell in your hand? LOL If the shaft broke, you are going to need a new switch. Internal parts aren't that easy to find.

    how to use the part numbers in TM to get auto parts

    For the old timers, Medlog speak with fork tongue. There is a whole section in the front of the TMs that explain the finer points of the TM. Here are the UOC codes for the CUCV family of vehicles. Code . . . .Used On 194 - M1008,Type “B’’Cargo, Shelter 208 - M1008A1,Type “B” Cargo, Troop...
