Awesome thread already...keep us updated on the cost to do this....Im sure it would help sway some fence sitters!!

That mod of the trailer frame is a great idea, and adding the box is great......and keeps the wife up front where you can talk!! Seeing this thread gave me an idea, anyone mount an M1010 box a trailer frame?? Nothing came up in search, but I could be missing some key words.

This is a worthy mod for our trucks...Ive always been told by older mechanics that properly adjusted and maintained drums are just as good as discs, but it seems now with the fast pace everyone travels at, the discs are a necessary safety requirement..... For sure have to add this mod to the...

WOW...that was alot of trailers at Fort Drum......so close to me in Canada and I see them in the last 20mins today....sucks to be a Canadian when its related to mil surplus. I didnt see any restrictions for buyers from Canada so maybe next time for me....or ...(Hint Hint)...maybe one will show...

If anyone has part numbers or pics that would be great.....of the switch, valves etc....tank straps and stuff I have now.

Lytemup454.....if you do this build, please start a thread and post pics....I too love the 8.1L....cheap to fix (not diesel) and a pretty good stock powerhouse....we have one in our chevy 3500 cube and a GMC 7500 stake truck, makes our 6.0L cube see tailights all day long.

Cucvrus...>THAT is an amazing idea...!!!....Did you use a crossover or a switch valve for feed? any purge problems or air bubbles?? more info if you remember please....2 tanks is twice the range (if I get mine to start again):driver:

cucvrus.....I put in this starter when the original failed last year....it wasnt new but worked for a year...I guess that is a possiblity that its gone bad too, I guess a bench test is in my future. eme411....its a Canadian truck and parked indoors/heated shop for past 6months, both batteries...

Hey 84cucv1ton.....any luck fixing your problem? I was following this thread with hope!! Just had my M1010 go into no start last week....no burnt FL's, no blown fuses....but I turn key and nothing..... Tried the starter relay (not the DH mod, original MIC relay) jumper from red to purple...but...

Ohh....this is going to be a great thread!!! Let the drooling begin!!

Ah..yes...I will subscribe this this build...I already want it!!!

I remember when expanding foam first came out...we used it on a 74 Chev Lemans dash to fill in the missing, cooked parts...than recovered with 3M Heavy Spray adheasive to attach the new vinyl layer, a heat gun is the wonder tool for streching and fitting the new vinyl skin. The foam hardens to...

That looks pretty good....wonder if anyone has it on a CUCV??

Good timing on this thread, Ive been waiting for the weather to get better but I think I may have to go this route too with my M1010, the box is off now but I think a bed would be way better than a flat deck I was thinking about I really like the looks of the trailer bed than a regular Chevy bed...

Thanks for the throw back Doghead...My Aunt just got rid of her phone like this...she got a new one...same thing but with the PUSH PUTTON technology!!! Bell tech asked why her phone had a square 4pronged connector on the end of it (he was young!!)

Pulled all the wheels and brakes.....AWESOME...gota love government maintainance...front end checked and TIGHT.....Fluids all good!! Just waiting for a starter fairy to drop me a lead on the starter replacement....if anyone has a rebuild kit on a shelf for direct drive 24V....PM me cost please...

Its the big fat direct drive....original one in this truck by the looks of everything...still 24V with the proper GM support bracket. Seems it was just wear from use, it was fine till I had the desiel leak make everything slippery and that is when the starter started to slip and grind.

Thanks Warthog...that is the first place I hit after searching all the leads and links on the forum!!! Even fleabay and Gooble to see if any other vendors will mail to Canada. So far no luck but will call ASP on Monday...crossing fingers...I need to get my ride rolling before the snow flies...

Pulled the starter...24V....and the drive is worn out...that would explain why the shop couldnt start it....SO looked allover the SS forum and no vendor linked has the full rebuild kit in stock with the drive.... What do i do now!!! Im in Canada so the access to used extras is like hens teeth...

Couldn't hang on anymore...had the box removed and prepping truck to be a lightweight!!! Had to do it, its a shame really, but the darn thing doesnt fit anywhere with the box on it.....BTW looks like it will be parted out in the classifieds if anyone is interested in anything. Have to work on...
