Sorry for the lack of update, guys. My father recently passed away and I've been taking it really hard. Having a tough time finding any motivation to get another toy like this. Working on these projects was something we did together. I have a tough enough time going into the garage I was...

Can someone please give me the relevant dimensions of the bed on the M1008? K30? I know they're the same. What are the dimensions at the opening that the tailgate sits in, the distance between bed rails-anything that could help me. I can't get to my truck to measure it myself.

A twist. Now I'm royally confused. Anyone know the dimensions of the K30 bed off hand? Caleb 16:05:15 Hi Kevin, how can I help you today? Kevin 16:05:24 Hello Caleb. Kevin 16:05:28 I have a question Kevin 16:05:47 I am in the process of looking for a cap for my 1986 Chevrolet K30...

I believe it may be a dead end. I called a truck accessory supplier and they said it probably won't fit on account of the bed being tapered (narrower at the tailgate) than the 73-87 bed (being square throughout).

The truck it came off of was a 1995. That help?

HAHA! No, no. I made it out of that situation. I am asking specifics on the truck it was taken off of. I'll post once I find out. Thanks!!

Hello all, I am in the process of tracking down a contractor style bed cap for my M1008. I hope to set it up for camping. I found one locally for sale online. The owner says they took it off of a GMC 1500. He sent me measurements of 99.5" long by 61.5" wide. He says that the full door...

These are probably originals. So, jack the truck up, put it on jack stands, lock the hubs, and turn the tires around? Should I spin the front tires while turning the wheel side to side?? Is that right? Turning them with the tires straight may not feel much, no?

OK! Thank you for all your suggestions! I did the driver's side bearing last night. The inner was almost all black so I will just assume it was running hot and probably needed some attention anyways. I took it for a drive afterward and it still had that feeling, but much less severe. I...

I mean't tie rod. Sorry. Those still have a ball joint in them, though. HAHA! Very keen.

Whoops.

I haven't read through all this because I am in a hurry, so forgive me. My truck had this same issue and it turned out to be my IP shaft seals. I replaced those and she fired up hot or cold.

Sweet! I did a search but not many description of the issues illustrated what I tried to.

Hello! I have a strange issue with my truck that I developed probably within the past month or so. Whenever I take my truck through a left turn, it seems to try and fight me a little bit to go straight again. I don't quite notice it with right turns. I got underneath it last weekend and saw...

Ok, I'll try that!! Hope these storms don't blow through before I get the chance.

I looked... I WISH I found it for $10 haha!!

Maybe I need to tap it on. I can feel it SORT of grab... I'm just so afraid of jacking it up.

I was thinking the same thing. HAHA!

Hello! A few months ago, I bought a socket off the shelves of a local auto-parts store and JUST NOT got around to testing to see if it worked. Well, it doesn't fit. It has the same shape and everything and the notches seem to line up with the holes, but it won't slide on and remove the nut...

He was assuring me that they probably just need rebuilt. He did indicate that it wouldn't idle right no matter what he did. I bet you're right. There is probably some serious wear in the carb. Maybe that's why he let it sit so long. It probably has a bigger issue than he lead on. If I...
