I have a substantial amount of engineering time involved in the development of the cluster. Because of that, I would prefer to simply sell the finished cluster and possibly the prototypes, which are fine except they are produced from aluminum instead of steel. Send me a PM with your exact...

Sorry to take so long to reply. Been crazy busy on honey-do projects. I have a couple of those clusters left over if you are interested. I had originally designed the cluster for six gauges (tach, oil pressure, water temperature, oil temperature, fuel pressure, and transmission temperature)...

Here's where I relocated the blackout switches to make room for the outboard A/C vent. To accommodate the top vent, I moved the amp gauge down into the diagnostic port bracket. The custom 4-gang switch panel fit perfectly into the radio cut-out, but instead of attaching them to the plastic...

I'm coming down the home stretch on the interior. Got the new gauge cluster completed and installed. None of the gauges are hooked up yet, that will be done when the new P400 powertrain goes in later in the summer. The carpet set fit like a glove, even the piece for the rear cab wall. For...

Got the carpet installed over the KilMat. What a difference! Close the doors, and you can actually hear yourself think with the engine running. Still need to install the door panels but those will be easy. The carpet on the kick panels needed to be glued-in-place, so I shot 2 coats of 3M...

My pace is picking up. Got the cab floor cleaned and the Kilmat installed. The Kilmat was somewhat difficult to cut all the pieces around the contours of the cab floor, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Because I am abandoning the transfer case lever and linkage and replacing the assembly with a...

Interesting. Thanks. I just now requested a sample of the 383 Green mat.

While I am waiting on my body-shop guy to shoot the final coat of paint on the bed, I decided to cut the hole in the cab floor to mount the new cable shifter. Got the hole cut and verified that the shifter will fit and cable will work, and now I am lightly sanding the cab floor in preparation...

Finally getting back to work on my M1028. Throughout the whole 12-year process my goal has been to eliminate as many possible points of failure as possible. Whenever I can substitute something which is manual-operated instead of electronically-operated, that is what I do. So, when I decided...

OK I am finally ready to get back on my rebuild after a serious operation last June and a long recovery/recuperation. A quick update - The P400 / 700R4 / NP241 is still on my engine stand. The aircraft pre-oiler pump has been plumbed with the suction line attached to the passenger-side of the...

You are in Frankfort, right? Once I get this thing coming together you should ride over and have a look.

Ok here’s an update - the surgery was last Tuesday 6/8 at Louisville’s Norton Spinal Hospital. Everything went as expected and I stayed in the hospital exactly one week and was discharged this past Monday 6/14. I had 4 vertebrae in my neck which had rotated into my spinal cord and would have...

A couple years ago I had asked John at Hillbilly Wizard to let me know if he came across a pair of perfect original CUCV front fenders. Last fall he called me to say that he had just gotten in a parts truck with front fenders which looked new and if I wanted them they were $100 apiece. I almost...

I got the bed off and loaded onto my trailer. I was unsure how to transport the bed the 40 miles to Barry's metal fabrication shop, and also how he was going to be able to easily access the inner and outer sides of the work. The bed would not fit in-between the rails of my trailer, so I came...

I see your tanks are black. Are they painted steel or plastic?

I haven't posted since January because I have been dealing with a few new health issues. I am now scheduled for major surgery on Wednesday June 9. I have a couple of vertebras in my neck which are pressing against my spinal cord. If not fixed, either of the vertebrae could sever the spinal...

Hey man - I believe you may have posted in the wrong thread. This is my rebuild thread. It has nothing to do with marker lenses.

Thank you. For an update - For the past couple years I have been on-again, off-again with work on my M1028 due to health issues. My health has now much improved and I was almost ready to install the new P400 / 700R4 / NP241 drivetrain, but then I kinda got the hots for a supercharger. It...

Hopefully soon. I've had 6 surgeries and 2 heart attacks since I started this project. Things seem to be settling down, so maybe this fall I can pull the front clip off and get the show on the road. Rest assured, I will keep my rebuild thread active as soon as the fireworks start.
