I converted my 1031 to a pickup bed. fuel fill isn't ideal. i definately take it slow at the pump. imagree with the sweet spot on the angle of the pump, sure makes the differance.

That tool makes it look too easy! Couple years ago I used the OTC glow plug removal tool to some success. One came out cleanly and the other tip broke off. Ended up chancing it and the compression blew it out.

I was going to try to advertise the utiltiy body on steel soldiers but it seemed I need 1,000 posts in order to be allowed to post classifieds.

No PTO. Truck had the gas Wisconsin genset/welder. That and the air compressor are in the barn. 1,200 miles on the truck. It rocks!

i ended up selling the body to someone who had a 1031 that was wrecked. He was rebuilding it and was happy to find one in good shape. I had a 1008 but it was getting kinda rusty. This 1031 turned up local on GL and turned out to be a good deal. New drive shaft and glow plug modification and...

Took the utility body off and found a decent original bed. Added a steel utility cap and now have benefit of the enclosed body but the option to remove it and have a regular pick up bed.

Bought mine from GL last fall for $1,800. Welder/gas generator, air compressor and bench vice. Just put a pick up bed on it (more usefull for me) so now I trying to get rid of the service body.

A few years back I used the OTC brand removal tool. Worked out just fine on two of the glow plugs, third one broke off. Took a chance and ran the truck and it blew out the stuck piece.

Thanks! Strobe lite was built by Tek-Lite, who I called but said they do not have replacement parts. Diameter is 7", hopefully Truck-Lite will have something.

Does anybody have a source for replacement lenses for the body lights on the M1031? Lights work fine, just need the red rear light and yellow lenses for the rotating light.

Here are a couple of shots. Vice is seized up but nothing a little weasel pi$$ and a torch won't fix.

HI, Truck came with the Hobart welder and Wisconsin gas generator. Have not tried to get that started yet. Also came with the air compressor and bench vice. All of this was a bonus as they were not in the auction photos. Panels that are missing are the two large doors on the driver side of...

Hi, Just picked up an M1031 (to go along with the 1008). Truck runs great after a little tinkering but is missing two door panels on the utility body. Anyone have some leads on replacement doors?
