    M-1028 air intake

    I am in the process of rigging a ram-air / fresh-air supply to my intake. I purchased the separator and hose from Banks and now exploring options to transition the hose to the air filter housing. As soon as I have this complete I will post photos and parts list.

    Vent Windows

    Well I got tired of fooling with these things and ordered a set of NOS vent assemblies. Kinda pricey but hey - can't take my money with me to the grave. After purchasing 2 different sets of aftermarket replacement vent rubber, I concluded that the repop stuff is just not produced correctly to...

    Rebuilding the vent windows on these trucks is a major problem. You would think somebody would offer an exchange service.

    Vent Windows

    I did a search but still couldn't find the answer. I am rebuilding my M1028 vent windows. I bought new vent rubber from LMC, but the stuff is way too big and doesn't fit like original. Instead of snapping into original holes, the upright rubber must be glued in place which is almost...

    Best source for back and side window gaskets?

    LMC is the place for parts, however they do not have the vent rubber. Also, their windshield rubber is too big, so I located a new OEM gasket through my local GM parts department.

    M1028 vs M1008

    The front posi in the M1028 is the Spicer Trac-Lok, which is a clutch-type unit to allow for slippage on the outer wheel when going around a corner. With proper gear lube and additive, there is no noticable effect of the clutches in turns. In straight-away pulling, the Trac-Loc performs...

    You will need a very, very long drop cord to keep the Death Ray running while on the road.

    Solargizer install questions

    On a 2-battery system, where should the wires from the Solargizer box hook? Should one wire go to the back battery and the other to the front battery? Thanks in advance for your posys.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Used Gillispie 383 CARC substitute without hardener. Easy and repairable in the field with spray cans. Got it from Army Jeep Parts. I plan to install 11.00/20 NDT on custom Firestone split rims. I already accomplished this on a 1985 1-ton civilian truck, and will be using the same set up on...

    LMC Truck vs. Classic Parts

    Over the last few weeks I have purchased a ton of stuff from LMC for my M1028 rebuild. A few items came in damaged in transit, and LMC promptly sent new replacement parts at no charge. Great service. One thing I have noticed, however, is their windshield gaskets are way too big. Just today I...

    Are any of the vendors on SS distributors for Optima batteries? I am ready to purchase and wanted to support our partners if possible.

    Kinda got carried away..... M1028 rebuild

    Mikelee; That old truck in the photo is a '57 GMC 3/4-ton factory Napco 4WD with the original 347 Pontiac V8 and factory power steering + power brakes. I am considering restoring it later.
