I bought this addition to the collection. A very basic M116. It has a 6x8 steel deck with the two front posts and several stake sleeves along each side. I don't have a lot of information on it, still learning. I will be used as a camping gear trailer with the occasional load of mulch or...

Installed a class III hitch locally, did the wiring myself then went straight out to rent a trailer and haul 5 yards a gravel and mulch to the yard... I removed the pintle hitch awhile ago. Earlier in its life it was hit pretty hard, hard enough to bend it to the left and jamb up the...

Not bad, looks smooth and consistent. The pic makes it look sort of light green. How did the rolling or brushing on go?

Finally titled and registered in OR, no emissions test (too old) and 45 minutes in line at DMV. All set!

That is one of the classic issues with Chevys of that day! I've had to tighten and add rubber so many times...grr i also found that keeping some bicycle inner tubes were useful. I've sliced them open and cut to length as needed for things like wrapping around the mirror bracket. I also used a...

Outstanding! Give yourself some due credit, the four leaf clovers may be lucky...but your work was all skill brother! Great job!!

Great couple of days, weather was perfect Friday (took most of the day off) and today was nice as well. Got lots of things accomplised... 0 Fixed Driver's seat lean to the outside with thick washers - sits straight now o Fixed right rear running light, loose wires on the new LED taillight...

Finished with the new window felt on the outside edge of the tailgate window and the end caps on each side. Also replaced the window crank and lock mechanism of the tailgate. I had a locksmith match the door locks to the tailgate window crank lock. Added some weatherstripping all around the...

Drive and enjoy indeed. Just before Christmas it was 3.20 a gallon. Just after, swoop right back up again. Go figure. I really need to get the license plate lights up and running. Tags are getting close to expiring too. Don't want to push my luck too far ya know!

Took it for a spin and filled up before the price tops $4 a gallon. Runs like a champ for 27 years old. I can hardly wait for better weather so I can hit the long list of to-dos!

Yes, they have made a big difference. The originals were pretty bad, two were totally shot. So it may be a case of 'wow, something different'. There is still the typical bounce but much tighter, like a 3/4 ton truck. The body roll after a dip in the road has been reduced. Woulda a set of...

AR Yankee - Sorry for the delay. The Monroe SensaTrac for the rear is 37041 and for the front is 37040. The steering stabilizer is Monroe - SC2913. All except the rear was easy. But maybe my rear top bolts were pretty rusted. Enjoy!

Replaced all four shocks with Monroe's and the steering stabilizer. Changed the front and rear differential fluids...tightened the power steering belt - what a pain! Used the grey gasket goo on the diffs. Really good stuff. Steering stabilizer went on pretty easy - had to soak the mounting...

Interesting...i keep finding the same thing....like thier return policy too...

Upgraded headlights Those look good, how much of a difference do they make? I've been looking at them on LMC - do you think they are worth the $$?

Hey True Knight - what kind a gauge action you got going on there? :popcorn: Looks well done! Replace some of the lights on the left and is that a tach on the right where the volt meter was? Nicely done!

Weekend weather has been getting better out here. That means working on the M1009. I get back home so tired, it's hard to keep up with the posting of pics and stories! I plan on creating a build thread soon, sort of new at this and have been doing most of the work alone. Thanks to this...
