best bet on the trans is to find a parts truck(one stop shopping). 4 spd was it for the chevys of this vintage. i think the sidewinder kit in a cucv may require moving one of the battery trays but i dont know for sure. do a search and you should be able to find all sorts of info:beer:

seems i remember a article in one of the diesel magazine where they put a 6bt in a 4x4 ramcharger(similar to a blazer). under hard acceleration (ie drag racing) the front would tend to come up:shock: i like the idea of using a crewcab or suburban

on my brothers truck we had a starter bolt brake off about 3/4 down in the hole. since we could not get the piece out we tapped the hole to the next size up and use some threaded rod and a grade 8 bolt in the other hole. after fighting broken bolts for some time we were pleasantly surprised...

never knew there was a producer in NY. do they sell to the general public or do you have to have a commercial account? some day ill finish my JD R and would love to do some dyno testing with bio vs ulsd. little to far away to make it practical for daily use with the m1008:-(

sounds like a good cause/reason for a pink truck to me[thumbzup]

must be im weirder than i thought, i dont mind the color scheme so much:cookoo:

i bought a door from lmc, after a few hours of adjustments it still did not look right. aua the forward post was tisted qite a bit.(anybody want a slightly used new door?) ended up pulling it off and settiling for the original (still shows some wrinkles after alot of work) on the other hand...

where exactly is the leak in the radiator and how far is home?

ditto on the warm weather, besides would help to keep the dust/mess out of the garage

i ran a quart of two stroke per tank-up in my m1008 for awhile was hard to tell if starting or running was improved. it did seem i was loosing a little mileage. may try it again this summer to double check.

thanks all for the info. answered a lot of the questions i have had:beer: will post pics when the project gets underway

yes the cummins would be best:drool: (im not that worried about originality on this one) i was hoping to drive to Colorado some time this summer and no overdrive+ 4.56 is not going to cut it. unless a miracle happens and i end up with heated shop space close to home i don't think ill be able...

the original idea was to put a nv4500 behind the 6.2 and then later on down the road possibly swap to the cummins. currently i don't have the space to do the cummins swap but i believe i could do the trans swap in my drive way if i had to. depending on how i liked the stick behind the 6.2 i...

can the 95 and earlier dodge nv4500 be swapped to the 96 and later chevy inputs?

looking to do a nv4500 swap in my m1008. already have a round pattern np205(32 spline Chevy) and cross member that should work based off what i have seen in others build threads. the one thing i have not been able to find is the difference between a 95 and 96 nv4500. i wonder because i...

ditto[thumbzup]

perhaps it sat for a long time without the fill cap?

you have a point there. wish i had the space to get serious about collecting the different incarnations of that body style.:neutral:

sounds like a good canidate for the cummins swap. would like to do one myself.

good question:-?
