It should be a kingpin setup. Pirate4x4.Com - Extreme Four Wheel Drive That page will show you where to look for dates etc on your Dana 60, well, you should have a Dana 60 anyway. Glen

There is a complete one, minus windows and seat covers sitting in a rural farmer's bone yard. It is close to the Saline/Ellsworth line. I have not spoken to him about it for a few years, but last time he said he would like to see somebody restore it. There was also one sitting in Lincoln Kansas...

I wash mine only to knock the mud out of the fenders and to rinse the salt brine off of the seams. Sheet metal lasts a lot longer if you keep it free of clinging or packed dirt clods. I agree with Barrman though, a heavy duty Suburban is hard to beat when the manure strikes the rotating blades...

When you say speed in a CUCV, you want a M1009, the Blazer model. The pickups or M1008, M1028, M1010 or other variants are too slow. 55 is about all they should be driven. 48 is probably more realistic. I think the fuel economy edge goes to the M1009. The M1009 is also much more maneuverable...

That is a sweet one, wish I could find one like that! Happy Birthday, a day late.. Glen

Somewhere in my ocean of CDs I have some photos of him riding it in a couple of Christmas Toy Runs. If I cannot find them, I will try to get with him again. I have not seen him for a couple of years. I talk to his wife and sister pretty regularly. I keep telling myself I will own one someday...

Sweet find! We have a couple of old Indians in town, I think my buddy's is a '42. Somebody prior to him had civilized it, what a shame, but it is a beautiful bike none the less. Glen

Fuel filter bases that fit properly are hard to find.

My first M1008 would puddle everyplace it went. The mechanic that had been working on it for the Sheriff's Office had pasted the pan and everything else together with enough RTV to do five 6.2 engines. It was still puddling when I bought it. They had been using it for a jail service truck and...

My M1008 had a rattle when I got it. It was a low rpm thing and normally when idling against the torque converter or I could say idling in gear. Anyway, any little pull, acceleration, would make it go away. The truck always seemed rock solid, but the rattle kept getting worse. It finally got bad...

I have not been down your way for a while, you guys sure have some beautiful courthouses... Welcome to the forums. Glen

Welcome to the forums from Kansas. I made a trip on the Amtrak north of you to Salt Lake City to pick up my M1009. That is some awesome country and I am sure you will find many uses for that beautiful truck out there. Glen

The Needles Highway is awesome up there, thanks for sharing the photos! Glen

That is a killer good looking truck, it would look so good traveling the Kansas back roads.... I am a jealous boy..... Very nice work, thanks for sharing the photos. Glen

I suppose it is like fuel additives, everyone has their own plan. That knuckle runs all the time if you do not have locking hubs. Whenever we went and played in really fine sand or deep enough water, we came home and cleaned out the steering knuckles. Our trucks were the 1957 to 1959 Napco...

Never had that problem, I have about gone the other way and filled my Honda with diesel, so used to diesel.... My son laughs at me when I turned the key on and wait a few seconds before starting the Honda. When I was working for Crane Rental, we had a guy fill a gasoline forklift with diesel...

I went back and looked at the photos of the other side and realized you have both shafts there. Sorry.... I still bet you are in good shape. They sure have an interesting drive joint in that steering knuckle. I had not seen one before, thanks for the photos. Glen

That axle actually looks like a big mess, but the grease is pretty good. What you have there is somebody pumped the steering knuckle full of grease to protect and lube that joint. I used to do it too when the felt seal on the steering knuckles was in need of replacement and I could not find the...

I was going to say my buddy is about to crush some ten bolts. I am sure a yoke would be an easy thing to take and probably would cost less than shipping in iron prices. Sounds like they have you covered, if not, I think there is a 4x4 Suburban out there waiting for the hammer to drop. Glen

I just got a good look at a 1942 Command Car this morning, very complete and solid. It has not been moved since 1962. I wold love to get it bought! You just never know what you will find in an old 1930's truck stop building.... Glen
