Got 18.5 mpg on the way home with the TH400. The future NV4500 swap should bring me to 23+. Also the PO said it had no heat since he bought it from the ultimate hack mechanic(PPO)... Gee I wonder why it didn't get any temp up ? This is exactly how it came off. He actually cranked the housing...

Picked up an M1009(Blazer). paint and bodywork is a little rough but the body is rust free. Even behind the seats, the tailgate crossmember etc. I have never seen one so clean around here. Of course the PPO(Previous Previous Owner) painted it with rustoleum and a brush and did some of the...

Fin....

I powerwashed it after every storm last year with hot water steam cleaner and soap and still rusted. Ct is the worst. 5 year old trucks are getting frame damage.

I used Rustoleum V7400 primer and topcoat on the frame and insides of the fenders and then used rubberized undercoating on top of that. I'll see if Kemperle has the Sem. Ideally I am looking at parking the truck in the winter and buying a beater. The MP170 worked real nice. The only thing I did...

Well, it's nearly done. Just have to paint the brushguard, mirrors, grille mouldings etc.

Yep. The People's republic of Komnecticut uses straight salt with magnesium Chloride. It's part of the (Censored) agenda to destroy any vehicle over 5 yrs old. Was talking to a sandblast guy who said he had an 09 Duramax come in with the bed off and holes in the frame. I replaced the wheelwells...

I use a respirator with Hepa P100 cartridges. An 8 inch DA Mudhawg takes it right off with 120 grit but you will use alot of paper. I buy the cheap Norton stuff at the carshow swap meets.

Yes the Vendor section.petty much all of them. Kublos in Pa is good too.

My 74 didn't. I cut up alot of mid to late 70's trucks and don't remember seeing any. Wonder what year they started. I had though after the bodystyle change in 1980 but I coild be wrong.

Thanks for the replies. I read the threads at the bottom and pretty much what I remembered from my 83. I just got rid of it. The pre 81 trucks did not have them and they worked just fine. Being that mine is lifted It probably won't be exactly right geometically anyway. Adios. It's sitting in the...

I seem to remember tossing this on my old 83 K20 civvy. This one is shot and I have no idea where to get one or what it is even called. I am pretty sure the pre 81 trucks had the same braking system but without this thing.

Also this piece is shot. Ordered a new one from LMC. Also LMC has the complete bed bolt kit for 29.95. Not worth trying to piece it together. I had to burn all the old bolts out.

I will say, the Aervoe lays out real nice. I did 3 coats/5 quarts. Although PPG would not give me an answe about using a non PPG topcoat I am banking that the Aervoe will bond with the epoxy primer/sealer.

Cab done...Just in the mick of time. last warm day we are gonna have for a long time. Old man winter is a knocking and I need this truck functional.

Well I painted my M1008 two years ago with Milspray which was the worst garbage I have ever seen. It peeled off in sheets and would turn to mush when you washed the truck with hot water. Their stuff is garbage. That said the underneath of the truck took a pretty bad beating from the insane...

I would guess the outer ? I have gear oil coming out of the brake drum . Decent amount.

non turbo ? Where in Ct are you ?
