The old frame is out of the barn and outside. I have it staged about waist high on some steel horses so I don't need to crawl in the dirt to remove all the plumbing. I have all the brackets blasted primed and painted for the new frame and just need to remove and paint all the plumbing before I...

Did you remove and clean the ground wire from the sending unit to the left rear frame rail? I don't see any mention of cleaning the ground.

I did not get around to posting any progress reports because I was busy making progress. I did manage to get the front differential bolted in and was short the right inner U bolt. I had a new one but think it may have been for a Dana 60. But it does seem too small for the 60 and too big for the...

rofl If it works that's the goal. You may loose bids at the Barret Jackson auction for non original. But I wouldn't worry about it. The original A C Delco ones they sell are made in China anyway. But the good news. Mainland China. No fish head village on the shore lines. Mainland. Good job. I...

New one to me. They are the same compression C & J. Never heard that a CUCV had 165. I was always in the 130 -135 HP range. Even with my stock fuel filter.

They have a brass adapter to make it fit. Plumbing part at hardware store.

There you go. These are the pictures that would not post on my last entry. But here they are for all to see. Thanks for looking. I have a lot of work to do. I need to transfer all the plumbing from the old frame to the new frame. More progress tomorrow. Have a Great Day.

Tonight after work I done the fine tuning and adjustment to the doors. It will require a bit of touch up on the left threshold. No problem it happens. I would like to meet the guy that thought the upper hinge needed to be bolted on the inside also. I had to adjust both upper hinges to get the...

I would go with a rebuilt injection pump. I have never had to replace a nozzle to date for power or performance issues. I have replaced a few for external leaks. I have taken them to a shop and had them checked also. Every time they say they are fine. I had a 7.3 NA Ford diesel. It was running...

9449 is the National seal number for the output tail shaft of the NP 208 Aluminum transfer case. I hope that helps. https://www.autozone.com/drivetrain/transfer-case-seal/duralast-transfer-case-seal/12019_617353_4222_194460 is the front seal on The NP208

Moved the bushing replacement to the passenger side door hinges and found the top ones only bad on that side. That is the one that takes the most abuse. The upper hinge bushings have the door springs to take the pressure and a lot of the door weight hangs from the top hinge. Oil and grease are...

While I was cleaning and wiping the structure/cab down preparing for sealer and edge painting I observed the door pin bushings being bad. Never thought about looking at them.I had replaced them 10 years ago. No problem. I used the GM door pin bushings. Easy enough. Hammered out the door pins and...

No need to drop the transmission. Easier then that. What you need is tools, floor jack, hard smooth surface, and 4 - 4" x 3/8" grade 8 bolts. Drain the transfer case partially. Remove the drive shafts and all the connecting lines and linkage. Place the jack under the cross member. Remove the...

I couldn't imagine you making any mistake Oh I make quite a few. I just try not to make them again. And I sure don't photo document them. Because opinions as to the cause will confuse me and the masses. If they happen I step back analyze as to the cause fix them and move on. Like my wheel...

For the record the doors are painted inside and I removed the tape from the upper door seals. Mr. Firefox. See the black seals? See Rick paint. Rick don't paint rubbers or trim. EVER. The super structure/cab has been edge painted. I want to install and fit the doors and get it spun around in the...

That weather stripping is taped off. And yes I choose to tape it rather then remove it because the new weather strips for M1009 front doors do not fit and these are original replacement GM ones I installed 10 years ago when I repainted the truck. So I figured why not just tape them and let them...

Sounds like a grounding issue. When ever anything strange happens with lights I always check out the grounds. It could be pulling ground thru a positive feed wire that is not energized. I know what I mean but am having trouble documenting it. Check your ground with a test light hooked to...

After a long day I wanted to keep on schedule. I came home and washed all the parts and mixed the sealer. Dried and wiped everything down. Sealed it and called it a day. I then went to my M1010 shed and dug out a gallon of paint/coating. All in a days work. Paint can dry while I go rest and...

I said this a hundred times. Take the truck to the parts store and walk in and out and get a set of belts that fit tight and adjust from there. If I have to use a wrench to get the belt on I am happy. It gives me years of adjustment. And the pulleys being that close to size will make no...
