Here are some additional pictures of the work done today.

I took my truck in for some body work to repair some rust spots on the pillar behind the doors. The mechanic also removed the truck bed so he could repair some body rust on the back of the cab. We also filled in some screw holes and 1 bullet hole in the back of the cab. There were also cracks...

I finally got a chance to clean up the welds and sand the metal ready to prime on the tire carrier. I then primed the tire rack with rusty metal primer. While the primer was drying I used the angle grinder to cut the welds that held the original spare tire mount to the back wall of the truck...

The A C Delco Oil Cooler lines were a perfect fit in my M1008. The Dorman were not even close. They interfered with the shifter linkage. The mechanic tried to fit them for 2 hours and ended up braking one. We had to use the old line until I found the AC Delco ones on AMAZON. Paid less for...

DO NOT GO WITH DORMAN PART they do not fit properly! You can get the AC Delco ones Amazon cheaper than the DORMAN.

TYPO in title.

Yep I get 64 to 65 MPH with the 37" HMMWV tires. Truck is a bit sluggish accelerating from 0 but does ok once you pick up some RPMs. Just had mine dome last month.

I agree, it could be something as simple as brushes. Motor will not run if brushes do not make contact with the rotor.

Was that a joke with the picture of the pig as an avatar?

I suggest you download all the TMs and read them. It will answer a lot of your questions. The spare tire assembly uses a 1/2 ton chain hoist to raise the spare into place.

Yes you could. A bit of over kill to support a light but would work.

If they are heavy duty then they are gun ring mounts. Could be the cab has reinforcement plate along the back wall too.

Then just use the existing lines to the coolant bypass filter and call it a day. Good prices for the setup on AMAZON.com.

Don't give him any ideas. He might do it. Talk about a mobile hot spot....LOL

That is a cool looking truck! It looks like it came out of the factory that way. Enjoy your new ride.:tank:

If you put a T in line of the heater hoses you should be fine. Check out my thread on M923 to see how i did mine. I have separate shut-off valves for the filter and the heater.

I just saw one last week in Hattisburg, MS in Jeff's former yard by the base. I could see a bunch of ISO connectors and it was a drop-side bed.

No price listed.

What about using a rear axle with all the gears removed. Since the wheels are free spinning they may not interfere in the turns. You can always add lockers to one of the other rear axles. I had a tri-axle equipment trailer I used for years and it was no problem in turns.

Same amount of room as the original bench seat.
