Crash, Thanks for the info. I plan to use the tank and sending unit as well as the filler neck assy from the 1008. So, as you see it, the plumbing is the same on both gas and diesel installations? What is different with the fuel level sensor and will I need to chg entire assy or just sensor...

I'm considering installing a 2nd fuel tank(rt side). The rt side has been damaged where the angle mounts had been and am thinking about replacing rt bed side. If I do I'll get one with a fuel door. Here is the question. Does anyone know how to and what is needed to plumb the 2nd tank in? I have...

Almost being the operative word. I'm not certain which yr it is however a friend thought it was an early model. 6 mounting bolts I think he said. How can I tell? The length of this xmission is very close to the auto 3spd which will be removed. The biggest challenge is to get all the right pieces...

Change of plan. I did buy the 1982 chevy for parts. After looking at it I determined it had a bit more use as a farm truck. Not as ugly as I first thought with very minor surface rust and a few dents. I have purchased a nv4500 rebuilt 5 spd transmission. I debated if I should go with the...

It is done... Thanks to all inputs. I coated the push rod with vasoline and left it stand overnight. The next morning, being colder, the rod still moved but at a slower rate. I had enough time to get the pump in on the first try! A good way to start the morning. 8)

Kenny, 2nd hole up looking at pic it is on the left, Correct? I was concerned about rtv clogged up oil rtn. In DFW area now trying to get fixed and back to CVG. Thx

fuel pump chg I already tried the grease, maybe not thick enough. I was aware of the bolt to keep the rod up but have never had to use it. Looking at the teardown pic I'm not sure which one it is. Is it the 2nd hole up rt side on the timing cover? What a pain. Ive changed these pumps before on...

Having :oops:trouble replacing a fuel pump on a m1028. Pushrod keeps falling down. Is there a bolt to take out to lock pin in place? Thx

Well...., after alot of miles on the car and 5 different parts stores,aua I have come up nearly empty handed. One mount that fits is the 1 ton diesel van. This mount however uses lighter metal around the rubber shock material. the hole pattern matches up. Just concerned about lighter mount. Any...

Thx again for all the replies. I went to another parts store after he told me their mount measured 6 1/4 " just like mine. I was very disappointed however when I opened it up and found he was not very good at measuring. He missed by approx 1/2 ", the same as the other places. The 20 min drive...

I hope you are correct. That would make this alot easier than I thought! You said only two different types. do you know the yr to yr that this would apply(1980-1990 ect)Thx for your reply:-)

I hope someone has a fix for what I got myself into. I had a bit of vibration thru out the truck at idle. I looked at the eng mounts and found one pretty chewed up and falling apart The other looked good however after lifting it up that one is not in the best shape either. So off to the auto...

That just might be the best thing to do. As my granpa used to say"Haste makes waste". I will take your advice as I do plan to keep this truck long term. Thx

Thanks to all. I just bought the 82 chevy 4 spd man 3/4 ton 4x4 . This trucks body is bad but eng replaced and only 50k on it. Has been sitting for over one yr. Owner chgd oil and both fuel filters before I bought it. The eng sounds good and xmission shifts well. I noticed emission components on...

Just bought a 1985 m1028!! The plan, mod it for a 4 spd manual sm465 or a 5 spd nv4500. I found a 1982 4spd diesel 4x4 with a poor body. Other than the 24 volt eng components which will need to be changed, will this donor be a good(easy) swap out, or is there something that changed from 1982...
