There's a set of four 16.5" wheels, on an older model 1-ton Chevy van, sitting in B&H auto salvage in Elkton, MD. It's a you-pull yard, so don't bother calling them about them, just go if you're interested. They're the standard steel wheels, which I know at least a few people here are looking...

Picked up a good set of 315/75R16 (35ish x 12.5ish) tires today, nearly new Pro Comp all terrains. Went to get them mounted. Shop 1: We can only mount tires we sell. Shop 2: We can only mount tires that are brand new. Shop 3: We can only mount tires we sell. Shop 4: We can mount them, but...

Anybody got a good source? Any and all help appreciated. It's one of the few remaining pieces I need to get the 700 in my truck.

My alternators are doing fine (had them checked by a local battery/alternator/starter shop that rebuilds them and whatnot), but I was shown that they have 25-30% of the brushes left. Bearings and whatnot seem to be OK. They want $100 each for the rebuilds, which isn't really necessary. I see...

I've been reading for a couple days (well, really, on and off for a couple weeks) now, and I'm just getting more confused. I need tires. My front tires are junk and one has a slow leak that refuses to be found. The rears are OK I guess. I'd like a little bit of extra ground clearance, so I'm...

So the actual kits are rarer than hens' teeth, that's well established. So, can you guys help me understand how they work so that I can make my own? I figure it doesn't really have to even be diesel powered, I got no problem running gasoline and/or propane for it. I also see that there are some...

What, exactly, gets energized, in each position? I ask because my starter is not getting power when I turn the key to the "START" position. I was able to start the truck using a safety pin to jam into the purplish wire to the solenoid and manually applying 12v to the safety pin. Obviously this...

Been reading up on doing a 12v conversion. Found this article: http://www.roscommonequipmentcenter.com/news_notes/nn10.pdf I have a few questions: First, I'm having trouble understanding why I can't simply run the batteries and alternators in parallel rather than in series, thus retaining the...

I don't have a whole lot of experience with these engines, so I have a couple of basic n00b type questions. First, what type of lifespan can be expected from the engine before needing a rebuild? I know that common problem areas involve the harmonic balancer coming apart, and I also heard...

Hopefully I'll get everything right in this post! I bought an M1008 a couple weeks ago as a workhorse truck, and it hasn't let me down. There are a few things here and there that I'd like to do with it, but now I'm tempted to track down a Deuce or, better yet, DUKW. Here are some photos...
