follow this guys build on diesel place http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/63-gm-diesel-engines/20-6-2l-diesel-engine/431460-so-begins-my-cucv-m1008.html

my old 87 half ton used to do that when it was cold, had to pull the headlight switch in and out a million times before it would make contact

you mean the switch on the bottom?

well I'll replace the switch on the bottom to see if that works, if not, guess i'll be a pulling the steering wheel, might be a good time to replace the ignition switch (anti theft) and everything else that is plastic junk in there.

I'm not sure yet, ill probably hang on to it. The body is shot. the brush guard in the front has some dents and dings, the bumpers are rotted through.

one day I switched my high beams on and went to turn them off and lever moved but no "click" I've searched and can't really find anything on here related to this problem. I'm not sure if something is broken at the stalk or at the actual switch. I usually run with my high beams on at night...

changed the door locks on my m1008 and greased the inside of both doors and knocked some dents out of the DS door and also replaced that panel. also picked up a spare door from the same bone yard I got the locks from. oh yeah and bought a whole spare m1028 truck a couple weeks ago. :-D

also found this link incase anyone is searching like I am http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?103497-Documented-Curt-14082-Receiver-Hitch-install-on-my-M1031

thanks! yeah I'm to the point I'm just going to drop it off at a guy down the road who builds air boats, excellent welder.

hey what receiver hitch set up do you have? I have a valley industries hitch I pulled off my old half ton pick up and couldn't get it to fit on my m1008. we hacked the side pintle supports off.

thanks guys!

yeah the floor pans have holes, the pictures don't do it justice as far as how much rust it has haha. i'm a little worried about the shock mounts on the axles. but thanks everyone. I think i got a decent deal. and besides who will let you joy ride a truck with no brakes, no inspection, no...

well i pulled the trigger and got it for 1500 plus 75 bucks to my buddy with a rollback to get it home.

my m1008 paid 2200 for in "ready to roll" condition but that was 4 years ago from govliquidation. if he won't take 1500 i'll see what he wants for the d60 and the np205 if he will take them off. if not prob just walk away.

in this area they are hard to find, being the rust belt. they had a couple m1031 and m1010 at ft. meade MD they went for about 4k each. m1008 around here are usually no less then 4-5K in stock shape haha.

I figure having an entire spare truck would be nice maybe If I can get him down to 1800

if it is an m1028 think it's worth 2k for basically just the drivetrain? said it starts and runs and drives well

ok thanks!

don't know

I got a lead for a parts truck for my m1008. It's here in PA. The guy said it's an m1008 but it has an np205 runs well but the body and frame are shot. I'm thinking it's probably an m1028 and he doesn't know it. the only thing the guys knows is that it was used at a race track and only has 20k...
