    dashboard cover

    Mine was cracked, I was a little skeptical about a dash cover. I ended up buying a new dash from chevyduty. I think it ran me about 275. I went ahead and bought 2 new black door panels at the same time. The end product was turned out great.

    I need an alternator.

    Mine needed an alternator, I planned on putting a Delco on it, priced the delco around 200-250 I can't remember exactly. While I was at the auto parts store we looked to see what the oem replacement would run, I think it was in the neighborhood of $1,600.00. Ended up getting lucky, a buddy of...

    Brush truck water capacity?

    I know a guy locally who plans on putting a 1500 gallon tank on a duece for farm work. He plans on hauling molasses. Off road only. Molasses is heavier than water. I think he is asking for trouble. Should be interesting.

    The 6.2 is easy and cheap to work on, but I think most of them are like mine, "You never have to."

    What neighbors have to say about my new M1009

    All my neighbors love mine. Except one, she just moved to our rural neighborhood from a large city. She called on me a couple times. No body can do anything about it. I'm not breaking any laws or codes. I returned the favor when her and her husband decided to do some construction with no...

    38x14.5x16

    Hobie237, I really didn't want to cut the fenders. The height of the 32's wasn't the issue it was the width. 1" of lift probably would have done it, I went 4"just because I figured if I was going to lift the truck 1" why not 4". Actually gave the truck a good look, and I did not have to play...

    Golden Dueces

    Did anyone preview the dueces that sold yesterday at Warner Robbins in GA. Some went for over 3k. I did not see anything special about them. Thy were listed as late 80's model. Were they actually manufactured in the 80's or were they overhauled?

    38x14.5x16

    I believe you would have to go to a 6" suspension lift for that tire to work. Fender cutting alone will probably not work. I have got 32-12.50's on mine and had to put a 4" lift on it. Tire are plenty big enough. I think power may be a problem with a bigger tire. Just my opinion.

    86 M1008 Boggin down/stumbling Problem

    If it is a clogged return check valve on the ip. Cleaning it will only be a temp fix. It will get worse. Get it rebuilt or get a replacement.

    Picked up my M1008 today - MISSING PARTS =(

    It's a risk, no matter what auction. If you don't want the risk go to a dealer. Its the risk that creates the some of the excitement in the whole process. A piece of crap for $100 or a piece of gold for $1.

    Picked up my M1008 today - MISSING PARTS =(

    goldneagle, First of all, I agree if a vehicle is advertised a certain way, than yes, you obviously have an argument. I should have been more clear. I was referring to auctions where the people are physically at the site , have more than enough oppurtunity to preview the lot, do not, and then...
