I am located in Tampa. I would agree not having the grill guard makes it look a little 'naked'. But my friend is a hard core off roader and has built some really serious equipment and likes the 'clean' look. To each his own. Yeah he did the rear disc conv. and I would agree it makes a huge...

here is a picture of my friends m1009. It has axles out of a m1028. Enjoy!!

Do you have any pictures of your truck with the 1100r16?

I am in tampa. I hope to add a factory floor mat this week-end that LMC just dropped off the other day.

Thanks for all your compliments. The truck came from Fort Gordon in Ga. I knew that Fort Gordan usually has nice stuff as it is a communications base and their equipment does not see 'hard' duty. Unlike a lot of your marine bases (sorry marines) that beat the crap out of equipment. I got...

funny you should mention the battery guage. As I was changing out the dash I had to remove the gauge and i somehow managed to get the guage grounded. Needless to say it sparked a bit then the volt meter never worked again. I am assuming that I burned out the resistor? Thoughts?

Just thought i would share some pics of my truck. Its a m1008a1 out of fort gordon ga with 14k original miles as far as I can tell. I repainted it and added a new dash from LMC and new weather stripping. Lift kit and tires are next on my list. After that I would love to due a 6bt conversion...

Hi all, I currently live in Tampa FL and want to have my M1008 transported to Maine (Sanford). Can anyone recommed a transport company that is reputable and cost friendly? Thanks!!

what do you use besides a lifting block for the steering arm?

I have a M1008 and want to put a 6 inch superlift on it. Do I have to lengthen the drive shaft? Any other issues I should know about before i do the lift? I am installing a droped pitman arm as apposed to a cross over steering system. Any help would be greatly aprreciated. Thanks!!

Where did you get your 4bt. have seen a few for sale but they are either low hp (like100) or they are way expensive (4k+). I have plent of room for an aftercooler especially if I use the 4bt instead of the 6bt.

hey beaubeau, does your son have a phone number i could reach him at to discuss his conversion? You mention Frito Lay trucks have the 4bt - can you recommend a place whre i may purchase a good used one. I know Ralphs truck world in Portsmouth NH has used engines but they do not have any 4bts...

I am not really concerned with 'top' speed as I am running 36 inch tires and will use the stock 400 trans. more concerned about making sure it has enough hp to turn my tires and pull my horse trailer. that is why i am leaning toward the 6bt instead of the 4bt.

I have a 1984 m1008a1 with 14k original miles on in and want to put a cummin 6bt or a 4bta in it. Does anyone have a place to recommend where I could purchase a 6bt for my conversion? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey CumminsCUCV, Fisrt nice job man!! Second you say that you thought about puting in a 4bt. Do you think the 4bt would have enough power to do the job in a M1028? I thought about puting in a 4bt in my m1008 but did not think it would have enough power to do what a 6bt can do. Thoughts...

IT COULD BE THE COATINGS THEY USE ON SUBMARINES. MY DAD WORKED AT A NAVEL BASE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME EPOXY STUFF USED TO COAT SUBS. I HAVE SEEN THIS STUFF ON FRAMES ETC. AND IT IS VERY VERY DURABLE AND NASTY TO WORK WITH AS IT IS HARD TO GET OFF WHAT EVER IT IS PUT ON. NOT YOUR TYPICAL...
