OK i just spent the last few hours on this thread, you guys rock. I wish i could get this much work done, in a few years...but first i need to get my truck to SC from NY. Thenn i need to take it apart, learn all the cool stuff you did. Figure out how to make an electrical system work, same...

All, this is great data, Has anyone gone the extra mile to put this in book form? with pics and so on for dummies? The manual has much to be desired of course. After reading this list, seeing where all this goes, and links to sellers with product codes is great. Curious what else...

GE it may seem like no one is tracking this thread, but that is far from the truth. It is just no one has any need to make major comments (IMO) your work seems top notch and you are giving the rest of us great ideas. I would love to know the specs on the seats, & how you installed the air...

The trip So how did it go? were you happy with the service EASTERN SURPLUS gave you? They are a few hours from me and i am thinking of having them do some work on my vehicle any thoughts?

Pull start I thought about this but i need two people for that task. My mechanic promissed to check it this week. If he starts it I will ensure whatever the issue is it doenst happen again. Just becauswe the truck is almost 40 years old doesnt mean it shouldnt work.

Thanks Yeah tried that but didnt seem to work, a budy told me to get a volt meter and check what the batts were holding and what was reaching the starter. Then he said maybe the motor froze up and to try to turn it by hand. Front of the flywheel or use the teeth on the ring gear. (that...

Ok i am new and trying to see how things go. If your read this my M109 Shop van will not start for some reason. I am NOT repeat NOT a mechanic (or a good speller) but i got the truck for a good price and all last year it started fine. Winter rolled in and one day went out to start it and the...
