Looks pretty good sir. Should your plans take you away from the berths, I may be interested. Glad you had a safe trip.

Thanks everyone. So far I like it more than the 1009. It has alot of possibilitys. Its showing 13000 on it so I think the moter is good. I know they have messed with the electrical system. How much, I dont know yet. They had alot of nice looking 1031 at the lot. I asked about them but they are going out to fire fighting units throughout the state.

Looks good

Good score for sure.

If you don't mind sharing the info, what did it cost you?

And how far did you have to trailer it?

Looks clean. WHY were there three deuce tires in it?

I won it at $1477.00 on the GSA aauction site. No hidden fees. I had the title mailed to me before I even left to get it. It was located in Lebanon,Mo. 522 miles each way. This is my 3rd road trip this year for MV. Yikes. As far as tires go, I dont know. I dont need them and I will take them to the GA ralley if someone wants them. I will post more as I get to know the truck. I may try to start it friday if everything goes good.

I saw that truck... That is a sweet score!!!

Looks good, it even has the attendant seat.
The low mileage engine is a bonus, but keep in mind you will most likely need an injection pump soon. All low mileage cucvs I've owned started leaking fuel from the IP soon after I started driving them.

I hate to bring up an old thread but I have to. Lol. I put to batterys in the 1010 and it fired right up. I blew a tire unloading it so I am off to get a quick fix for that. I will see if it moves tonight.

Great news. We actually prefer to add to existing threads. Sounds like you got a keeper. Can't wait to se it move under its own power.

522 miles is still a good drive. Reminds me of the late June recovery of my M1031. We flat towed it from Ft. McCoy WI to Central Texas. The tires were nearly new on both vehicles, the towing was smooth but we took it easy on speed and following distance.

I am glad I did it. So far I have drove it around the block twice. It was 3 qrts low on tranny fluid. It shifts good and drives straight. I have to work on the brake lights. They are stuck on when you turn the the switch to power the lights. Souldnt be to hard to fix. The other three tires are so dry rotted they need replaced before a good shakedown run can be done. Thanks everyone.

I have made it home safe and sound. The 1010 pulled better than the minnow did but it is heavy. I averaged 16 mpg going down and way less coming back. Lol. Here is some pics. The extra tires that were in back need a new home. Any offers?

I'll take the 5 ton rim and tire if it's just needing a new home? Are you planning on coming to haspin for the fall rally? http://www.steelsoldiers.com/steel-soldiers-rally/90981-2012-fall-haspin-rally-2-a-2.html

 

[2002ford]

I hope to go to the GA rally this October. I have to see how thingswork out. As far as the tire, If you or some comes and gets it you can have it.

You may need to check the diode on the flashers for the brakelight issue.

Sounds like usual stuff. I had a bunch of bad bulbs which did some really funky stuff. Do yourself a favor and park it. Take some time and just go from one end to the other. Clean all electrical parts, replace bulbs with all brand new stuff. New batteries, rebuild alternators, etc. You will be very happy compaired to fixing one problem at a time. It gets so frustrating fixing one thing then tomorrow another problem comes up. I have a low mileage M1031 and I just bit the bullet and did a new style filter along with a new IP. Not to mention the GP's. Knock on wood, starts like a new truck everytime.

M1010's rock, looking forward to a good build thread!!!
