I set the timing on my recently rebuilt 6.2 engine just last night. Aligned the timing mark on the IP with the one on the engine. Lots of smoke and not running correctly. As with my other 6.2's that received a new IP, I rotated the IP toward the passenger side, made it much worse. Finally...

Making progress, slow and slower at times. Last night we were able to start the engine after 2 yrs and 7 months of waiting and rebuilding.

Hi Matt, Yes I did use the 3 outlet sending unit for the new tank. One port was used to go to the fuel pump. One port was connected to the unused port of the factory tank. Last port was capped off. The sending unit is a 90 ohm resistor, so I used a fuel gauge from Summit: Fuel Gauge Like...

I have added the passenger side tank to 2 trucks. Added an electric pump to transfer fuel from the passenger side to the drivers side. The pump is mounted between the tanks on the frame cross member. Also added a second fuel gauge to monitor the right side fuel level. We kept the factory fuel...

I have the lights on the truck. Now I just need to get the rest of 10,456 parts remaining on the frame!

These seem to be good. I have a set going into my M1010 rebuild. Inline Tube Transmission lines

Thank you very much. This truck has been a very good thing for us. Peggy and I enjoy taking this truck on trips and meeting a few of the SS Members along the way! Many thanks to all that voted for "Leonard" to be MV of the Month! Karl

I was Lost In The Woods back in 1982, no AC in anything...not even the Cattle Cars. At that time we had D7E and D7F dozers.

M1008 has been resurrected from the frame up. This truck has been across the country 4 times and has been the leader in 2 MVPA Cross Country Convoys. So far, no major issues other than normal maintenance. Has all the items needed for living out of the truck. I have done that a few times...

Unfortunately, from what I have read, all of the vehicle records have been purged. But that number would most likely be on an Army vehicle.

I leave the Blue tape on my trucks, makes it much easier to find it in a parking lot. We all know that one camo truck looks like another. That is a beautiful truck!

That confirms that it was built for the USAF. You can remove the US Army and correct the number from 761 to 1761 Your right, they were made very close to each other. Good find! Here is what mine looked like when I found it in a grove of trees. It will be the next restoration project.
