Plastic and aluminum CU850, in a warehouse in Jersey for the poultry sum on $1700.:sick:🤮
Come on SSDVC it's paltry not poultry. That just makes it sound fowl the way you worded it.
Remember that old rusty M101 parts trailer I had. It relives in a different form.
The center frame section is the m101 trailer frame and the dead give away is the small D rings. I am so happy that this piece was repurposed. I also gave him the set of LED lights to repurpose. This young man...

I have completed this job many times on melted fuse connections. Once I completed the in line fuse replacement and I had tight connections the problem went away forever. Good Luck.
I researched this and this is what I found.
Duralast Remanufactured Brake Power Booster 52-7248 (autozone.com) This is listed for the K5
Duralast Brake Power Booster 52-7307 (autozone.com)This is listed for the K30
So I guess they are different and when I ordered parts I just ordered them for...
“The Bitterness of Poor Quality Remains Long After the Sweetness of Low Price is Forgotten”
I explain this as to why I use Line X as my interior liner and why sometimes money is the only tool to get a job done correctly and the sting hurts at first but the infection of poor quality can be fatal...
Today after work I needed to locate some D ring tubes for an M1009. Over the years I have misplaced things, but it all works out. I just keep finding things.
This is the 4 tubes with extra parts attached. All separated and the front brackets that I had powder coated 20 years ago. The parts on...
I think the horn works on grounding the relay. Like the power is there all the time and the button completes the ground. Not 100% sure. Electrical is my weak area. I know enough to get by and am happy I know that much.
I may be wrong but the only difference between the 2 hydro boost assemblies is the flanged bracket that mounts them on the firewall. The military NOS came completely assembled in a box/foil wrapped. I looked them up and they were the same part number without the mounting flange. I used them on...
We have all had days like this. I started out putting my tools away and as the day went on other things came to mind. I did get all my tools put away and the shop floor is swept clean. Then I thought I would try and find a few inner front fender nuts; I know I have them but where? I dumped out a...
The thread size you have listed is correct. Metric is correct. Just get 6.2 diesel starter bolts and use an SAE washer. Just 1 washer or if you are lucky, you will get flange bolts.
I was out early this AM trying to beat the heat. I had 2 cab mounts left from the kit and then it struck me. They are for the radiator core support. I changed them. They were easy since I had that core support off 25 years ago and replaced the hardware at that time. I used the big green pry bar...
It is 2 of them. I had them for driveway ornaments and was tired of weed whacking around them. I think you need them up in Connecticut. I know someone else needs them. I had a thought of putting the wheels on an M1009 and styling.
I have decided that after seeing that rough M1009 and also seeing the price of parts for the older trucks I am going to spend the time and money getting the 1986 OEM M1009 frame sandblasted and painted. I am sure I will find a buyer for it. I have it sitting here since 1999. It arrived as a...
My Son got that for me as a Christmas gift. I never need anything bigger than that. If I do I have other issues. I fixed a lot of bent stuff with that bar. It is a Snap-On I never ask what he paid for it. I had a prybar I made, and he never liked it because I was always slipping off with it.
I mentioned that the caged nuts for the rear bumper outer brackets are lost with the new Energy Suspension body mounts. I am fine with that; I just upgrade to 1/2" and hold the bolts from the hole in the rear of the frame. I had the brackets powder coated 25 years ago. Bolt placed in from the...
