Instead of under coating... look into “Fluid Film”. It does a great job!

Yesterday I stripped the 30+ year old weatherstrip off the rear doors. It took 4 packages of new weatherstrip to replace. Stripping the old adhesive off was a pain! The doors seal up nicely now!

I’ve been lacking on updates. In mid April, I finished the driver’s side alternator bracket using a slightly modified d/s bracket from a M1008. Also changed the single v groove pulley to a double v groove pulley to allow for an a/c compressor (at a later date). Hera are some pictures.

IN. Happy New Year everyone!

Mad Texan, I am definitely interested. I also would like a/c in the cab as well as in the box.

Hello again! I’ve been working/tinkering on my ambulance. Engine rebuilt, turbo in place. Both alternators on driver’s side. I REALLY don’t like the setup of the alternators!!! Especially since there’s no place for the a/c compressor. So, I modified the stock M1010 alternator brackets to clear...

Chevymike, are you going to turbo this one? I turbo’d my M1010 with a banks. The alternators went on the driver’s side.

Chevymike. I can’t wait to see the finished product! I’d love modern gauges in my M1010!!!

Thank you Cruzer747!!!

Cruzer747, when you figure it out.... Please post your results!!!!

It's been a while since I've updated on here... Got the Banks turbo installed, head studs, and pretty much rebuilt the top end. With so few miles on the odometer, I didn't think anything needed to be done to the bottom end of the motor.... Boy was I wrong!!!! She was pulling up and over the...
