Info for y'all...
I just spoke with "Bart" out of Arizona GL regarding all the trucks with "no SF97 documentation" provided.
He told me they were just recently directed to NOT supply SF97's with the trucks. The reason he gave was that it was too time consuming for GL to get all the data to...
Just connected my battery and when the switch is in the "on position, I get no power. Then when I turn it to the off position, I get power.
Can anyone clarify that clockwise is on?
Thanks guys,

Has anyone else noticed that the new engine stop cables are a bit longer than the old ones?
I installed a new stop cable and it has interference with one of the cowl bulkhead supports. I will need to dremel a cut in the support to allow the cable to sit perpendicular to the dash.

Here is a photo of my instrument panel. I had already painted it once and installed the gauges. My friend was painting his car at my garage and left it open and got overspray on my new gauges and panel. So apart it came and I had to polish the lenses. What a bitch that was.

I just installed the blue instrument lights. For the high beam, I took the wire cutters and carefully removed the outer brass cover. It is lightly folded over the bottom of the lens. Man that lens was in perfect condition! Now I have a full blue lens...not just a dot.

Hey all, I have put in the "low air warning light". It has a lead to the buzzer as well. If I do not connect the lead to the buzzer, will that effectiveley deactivate the buzzer?
I hate buzzers.

So how many of you are running with the third axle disconnected? And does it make that much of a difference in turning? Better fuel economy? What else are the advantages?
The reason I'm asking is this seems to be a mod for city driving. Thats where my deuce will most likely spend it's time...
Does anyone out there know if the various bezels for the instrument cluster can be interchanged? LMC truck has repro ones, but for my year (1986) only in silver and with the AC vents. The one I want is for model year 1978-1980.
Here is how they broke down the years:
1975-1977
1978-1990...
Does anyone have a source for front leaf springs for an M1009...one of mine is sagging more than the other, causing me to tilt slightly to the right...could it be the two batteries and my Rt-524 on the right side?

Here is what I thought was a good price. The truck ran great and I drove it 200 miles home...without license plates. It has 14000 miles on it and looked to have only one coat of paint over the original OD.
I am restoring her from the inside out. I got tired of looking at faded scratched paint...
Just assembling my dash and noticed it had a 30 amp fuse holder mounted to the left of the steering column. Does anyone else have this? It has a screw on top that you can slide the fuse into. I don't know what it was attached to since the wire had broken free, but it looks like it matches a wire...
I am putting my dash back into the deuce after painting. Can anyone tell me the size of the bolts on the side ends of the dash panel? The ones that bolt to where the upper door hinges are. I'm talking about the two smaller screws/bolts above the one big bolt. I tried 1/4-28 unf, but it seemed...
Does anyone off hand know what manual containd the schematics for the lights switch plug in the main harness? I have a wire that broke off. (460/461 i think)
Thanks,
