I've been watching ebay and the classifieds on this site but it never showed up for sale?

Is the truck up and running? I hope everything is ok, I just noticed you haven't posted here in a while.

I'm starting to miss the nightly updates on all of the projects Cucvrus is working on.

Google "SB chevy intake manifold bushings" (maybe someone more computer savvy than me can post the link to Summit Racing, I tried & failed). These bushings are used on sb chevys to solve a problem similar to the one you are having. The 1986 & earlier sb intake manifolds would not bolt up to...

Could you have a machine shop re-drill the manifold bolts on 1 side?

If Cucvrus owned it, you found yourself a good truck.

I believe the Roscoman website (known as a source for 12 volt conversion info) also has info on how to turn the M1009 into a brush fire truck.

Glad to hear that your feeling well enough to get back to the M1009.

This subject got me thinking back to when aa member here (Ithink it was Cucvrus) replaced some motor mounts on a CUCV. It seemed odd to me that they said they had to use the ones from a gas 350 and not a 6.2 diesel. Now I'm wondering if this has something to to with the lack of a strut rod...

As others have said, whenever possible, we are better off searching for used GM sheet metal. That being said, I have seen some decent fitting aftermarket sheet metal on some of the parts trucks that I parted out. One 85 k20 had front fenders made by Gordon Autobody parts that fit good. A 86 k30...

Thank you. I've owned a few 90-91 civy blazers & suburbans with them. Your right, the wiring would be a pain to deal with. Thanks anyway.

I'm a huge fan of the power mirrors on that 90 Jimmy.

The blazers never came with a 14 bolt rear axle. If I was a betting man, my money says someone probably bolted in a 14 bolt from a 3/4 ton truck. A 3/4 ton 14 bolt doesn't require you to change spring perches or swapping spring hangers like a 1 ton axle does.

$4k-$8k for a full repaint seems fair to me. Don't get me wrong, when my M1028 needs paint I'm going to use Behr paint from home depot. That will suit my needs just fine. Quality paint does not come cheap. My civy 81 Chevy 8' stepside has DuPont basecoat/clear coat paint. The paint, reducer...

Cucvrus, can you do a little write up with pictures when you do the inline fuse on the light fuse. I know in the past you have mentioned doing that with the heater fuse. A few pics would be great. Thank you.

I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Let me know if you are interested...

Rustystud had a great post about the problems that a bad kickdown switch can cause.

That sounds like a great deal.

Have you looked to see if B&M makes a reverse light switch for your shifter?. My 69 Camaro has a Hurst 1/4 stick shifter (yes Cucvrus, its an old race car turned street car). Both the neutral safety switch and the reverse light switch were options that I had to buy separately.

If you are doing the R&R I think the $500 would just about cover the cost of getting your Turbo 400 rebuilt by a good shop. That used trans is still 30+ years old. Why not start out with a fresh rebuild?
