fuel gauge The fuel gauge that I had has been sold, good luck to all those memeber who have fuel gauge problems

I am missing a few pics so I will try and find them and add some for the rear speakers and the radio installed. Also should be able to find pic of the 'custom' dirvers side front speaker as well. This was a rockford fosgate CD player that I installed.

I added front speakers to go with the rear speakers I have in boxes. But 1st I will cover the stereo- I used the universal make it fit tool (sawzall) to cut the dash and my dremmel to carve out the plastic gage cover for DIN size. I then installed a old head unit I had from my wifes old truck...

Finally got my hi-lift jack mounted this past weekend. Chose the rear wheel well as location... not my favorite, but should work find considering jack can be removed easily. 1st I measured with detail, then drilled the holes for all 8 bolts. I then sanded, prepped, and painted the drilled areas...

They make them in the 285 with red letter sidewalks... Always thought they would look good with the red letters.

The 1st set ran about $700 mounted and balanced. The second set I bought was a year later and they were at $770 mounted and balanced.... and they will patch them and rotate them for life... the shop here keeps these mud dawgs in stock in this size... he said he has a lot of ton truck duelly...

And yes when I replace them I will get the same size and move the best 2 to the trailer and another to te spare.

Jacked up steering wheel I was right here once. Wheel never would go back straight. It wasnt as pronounced as your sounds but similar. Replaced steering box with a used one and and pitman arm since it came with the box. I also replaced the drag and tie rod. All straight steering afterwards. Be...

:beer: Good score! That was a very nice truck, one of the better ones I have seen. Sure it will be a long trip, but thats just more time to enjoy the old iron. And as for computers the only one you will need should be stuck on this site to keep us all updated on progress as you tweek that...

Computers? we don't need no stinkin' computers!

Indeed good luck.... had to put a flexplate on last year... one heck of a job... seems that the guy I bought my truck from had put a 12v causing stripping the flex plate teeth... opps... saved me a pile of $ on the truck though...

Fuel Gage I have a fuel gage that I will gladly sell to a Steel Soldiers memeber and I will even ship it for you... Now as to how I got the gage... I thought mine was bad to following the test per the TM. So I went to my local cucv junkyard and picked one up... still nothing. Still showing...

Prior to pulling this 'stunt' I had taken the tongue bolts out and put a washer in between. Also was going to tap for grease fittings, but didn't do that... the real issue I saw was the break line getting in a bind. After this adventure we will be using the correct equipment to move dirt...

Great MOD and easy to do... happy truck now. Have another that needs the MOD but Napa boy only had 1 relay so waiting on another.

Put 255/85 R16's on my 1008 and father in laws 1028. Summit mud dawg's.... no issues and a very aggressive tread with load range E These are basicly a 34X10.50X16 that fit up nicely.... going to do the BFG next time I think in the same size... not a lot out there in 255/85. Not too wide for...

Father and law and I picked up a mint 101A2 this year... looks great tagged behind my 1008 or his 1028... you can see his dad (A Navy WWII Vet) giving it his approval. Then we put it to work... NOTE: it's easy to get them to dump... but had to use tractor to get it back down... Great trailer...

Put a rubber floormat in recently. Wife got it for me from JC Whitney. Had to do some trimming... cleaned floor and painted with woodland paint. I also added 'extra' carpet padding to help with sound deadning. This worked well along with new door seals I put in. New rubber floor is great...

I had leaking radiator... actually it more like a pour than a leak... I picked up a 4 core radiator at parts store (no not cheap, but after I got them to match a big chain store it was only a little over $300)... when I installed I used water hose to 'flush' the core and then blew all the water...
