Well, I won one of these neat NOS map lights on Ebay and plan to mount it on the flat plastic section of my M1028 dash. It will cover the little holes where the "Custom Deluxe" emblem normally is mounted. My question is, what vehicle were these things originally intended for? What kind of...

Thanks Rich Johnson for the info. And thanks also to mistaken1 for the vertical position of the bracket (even with the top of the bed). Now if I can determine the correct horizontal position on the front of the bed, I'll be ready to drill & mount. Rich, I will indeed use the Nut Serts in all...

OK, I got my Nut Certs ordered from Mcmaster Carr, now I need to know the exact location to mount the antennae bracket. I want to mount it in the forward position on the side of my M1028 on the driver's side. Is there a positioning template available? Thanks for everybody's help. Mike Gresham

McMaster Carr has the 5/16" x 18 Nut Certs for about $6.00 for a package of ten (10) McMaster-Carr They offer them in aluminum or yellow zinc chromate plated steel. I would assume the steel is what I want? Also, they offer the 5/16" x 18 for two different material thicknesses, .027 - .150 and...

Thank you M813rc. That is exactly the information I was looking for.

I did several searches and could not find that thread. If anyone remembers where it is at, please post. Thanks.

Is it possible to securely mount an antennae bracket to the side of a M1008 or M1028 which does not already have the mounting holes in the fender? All I have seen appear to have some type of reinforcing nut built into the fender metal. I suppose I could use sheet metal screws, however this...

I intend to change over to a manual system anyway. Sooner or later there will be hardly any cards left, and those will be an arm & a leg. The writing is on the wall.

Opps - I meant to say M35A3 gauges. Sorry.

OK folks, here's my first question - Would it be possible to completely abandon the current instrument cluster for a new custom unit comprised of all new M38A3 gauges? I can design and build a replacement gauge mounting face fabricated from 1/8" aluminum, correctly shaped and bent to fit...

Got the rebuilt tilt steering column from Wayne Wiles in Ft. Wayne, Indiana GM Tilt Steering Column / Contact Us . It was completely rebuilt with new ignition switch & key, horn contact, and turn signal switch. He furnished the rebuilt column with all black levers and correct wiper control...

Well, what started out as a simple hood replacement project has escalated into a full-blown frame-up rebuild. Not that my M1028 neeed it, because it is a rust-free Arizona National Guard truck with only 12,500 miles. But once I got started, I quickly and completely lost control of the...

I am considering abandoning my sway bar too. Can you notice any difference in the steering or stability without it?

Sorry for my mistake. Which springs did you use? Also, do you plan to use the sway bar, or abandon it completely? Thanks.

I too am using the lift kits from ORD (Off Road Design) in Carbondale, CO Offroad Design - Fullsize Chevy GM 4x4 Suspensions, Parts and Performance . I have been lifting GM GM trucks since 1972 and can attest from experience that the folks at ORD are the industry leaders. Their rear shakle...

Never mind. Just found out the Scepter cans will fit the Nato jerry can holders from Saturn.

Does anybody know where to get the brackets & straps for the Scepter cans?

Did you remove your front sway bar altogether, or do you plan to use the quick-detach kit from ORD?

Did you use the 1" offset with the zero-rates and move the front axle forward?

I guess a white M1009 with big Red Crosses on the sides would emulate a hospital truck?
