I dropped my 1028 off at my buddys shop to have a new IP installed. It started leaking pretty bad around the throttle shaft. I know we could have just done the seals but I'm sure it has been a long time since the pump was done. He took it apart then I took the intake , valve covers, air...

Had new tires put on Dude yesterday. The old ones looked good but a close look showed they where dry rotted. Stock size for a 1028, 235 85 16 General Grabbers. Next project is to pull the ft hubs and replace ft u joints and spring bushings. There is nothing wrong with the u joints now but new...

I was very happy to see the new rad was alum. All the cooler lines came apart like new. I also anti seized all the line fittings. I took Dude for a ride today to make sure all was good. Job complete.

My 1028A1 had a radiator fail last week. I installed a new Rad. inc all new hoses. Considering all the cooler lines it was a very easy job. The old one was copper brass. That sucker was heavy. The new one is alum.with plastic tanks. Much easier to deal with. Job all done and back on the road.

I put my 1028 also known as Dude in the barn for the winter. No New England salt is getting on my truck.

Amen to that. Mine has been parked all week. This is AC weather.

Looks like that 5 ton had to do some recovery work. I need a hood ornament like that.

Drill a 1/8th hole in the end of the blower motor where the bearing is and oil it. The motor will last much longer. Works very well even if it's just temp.to get you through a storm without having to stop and change it.

The lift was open at my shop today so I took advantage and did some maintenance today. I greased everything that has a fitting and did a general checkup under the truck. No problems found. I put all new 13G glow plugs in just because. The ones that came out where in great shape. None where...

I'll tell you what I'v done with my CUCV. I,m enjoying the s--- out of this truck. I did put the tie downs in the bed a few days ago. I also want to get my trailer hitch on, maybe this weekend. I'v been driving this for a few weeks now and I love it. I always liked this body style Chevy...

Well I painted it yesterday. I don't have a tail gate yet and I'm waiting on a GM fuel door. Still need to do alot details but aleast it has color on it. Makes me think theres light at the end of the tunnel. Before anyone asks, that is my M936A2 wrecker in the background. Brian G.

Thanks Rick. Not sure yet if I will remove the bumpers. This weekend I'm going to remove the doors cleanup the jambs and paint the inside of the doors and jambs. I will remove door handles, locks, mirrors, wipers. Then as soon as my booth is free for a few days I will paint and camo it. Then I...

Not much today. Just put the bed back on. It's starting to look like a truck again. Brian G.

And they say you Can't polish a t---. :mrgreen: Good thing I own a collision shop.

It's on top of the rt frame rail just in front of the main crossmember where the ft spring mount is. I can't say they are all stamped there but I'd bet GM did stamp all trucks in the same place. Mine matchs all the other tags. If I rememeber I'll take a pic in the morning.

My painter is in my booth now getting the bed ready for paint top to bottom before it go's back on the truck...

Awhile back I posted that I had a bent ft end on my 1028. Seems the truck got hit in the rt ft at one time and did not get repaired correct. I set it up on my frame machine and found the rt ft rail down and back about an inch. Long story short the frame is fine now but the ft end still has a...

I'v been working on the 1028 cab rust repairs for the last few weekends. The pickup body is all done waiting on paint. Sat. all the new panels where done so I bolted the new fenders on. At that point I noticed the rt front wheel looks to far back in the wheelwell. I spent all Sunday morning...

Very nice detail work. I wanted to do a frame off on the 1028 I bought but shes is a little to far gone for that. I'v been building points cars for many years and know what it takes to do that kind of work. Only bad thing is when your done it will be to nice to drive. BG
