What I did was find the parts and illustration book and downloaded it...it's 491 pages...half way down it starts to show pics...it has a pic of the truck on the front 84-87 on it...it might be in the tm section of this site too...it has every part blown up in sections with every part number for...
I just rebuilt mine last night...very easy to do...only suggest taking a pic of the inside and out just so you don't second guess yourself!! The kits are very complete and both of mine now work great.
Thanks! I got the projects with these 2...most is getting it to not break as much as possible since these sat so much...I got the front and rear pans from a seller on Ebay hope I am allowed to post who but it was classicparts4u is the store name...it took several weeks to get them and they...
So I got both alternators rebuilt, new harmonic balancer, crank seal and front pulley installed today...was a blast...the balancer went on and off no problem...I have both puller and install tools so it goes very fast...balancer was shot and there's no way I could see that from under the...
Found one more pic on page 301 that shows the ac compressor on the drivers side...one note as well they have different power steering and water pump pulleys to do the 2 belt drive to the ac compressor...I am not sure how that would work since I know the compressor you'd get from Nostalgia will...
Found it...page 309 in the parts and illustration catalog...it shows all the part numbers you need to put the alts on the passenger side...if you can find them...finding gm brackets to fit the compressor on the passenger side should be able to be found or just make some...use the lower alt...
The 200 amp setup has both alternators on the drivers side...I found that looking through the tm on the truck scouring for part numbers!!...you can see how the mounts work from that setup and then put the compressor on the drivers side by itself...I have no idea if the alts will interfere with...
That's a great idea!! I was wondering how I'd get the nut inside since I can't reach up in there! What's one more hole really!! It has a plate welded to the body then the stud welded to it...I very happy that I have so many ways to make metal do what I need it to...torch, mig, press etc...I...
put me on the list for the next one...I have 2 cucvs but both are not ready for much but running yard art right now...should have the 1008 done this month and the 1009 by the end of the year...I don't live far and have been there a few times...great place...the coal mine is fun too next door.
I bet it would be hard to change one that's welded together already but these are kits that are not welded yet...would have to press bend the top bar and angle cut the middle ones to get the bend...the 2 mounts wouldn't take much to make since they are straight parts of steel.
yes it is the back of the door latch, completely blown out...hinges are fine but the striker is welded in place with a plate under it...probably exploded the first time they closed it.
I wouldn't want one half ton...things ride to smooth...or loose....I think the front grill guard looks like the square body cucv with the exception of how it mounts to the bumper...have you checked out hillbilly wizard up here in Pa...they are making weld together kits that you could probably...
Update to the madness is the drivers floor is to the point of one more coat of farmer paint and the seat goes in! Son spent hours welding and grinding and cleaning and painting today...you get the point...I took the drivers door out to tap out a few dents and remove the door lock and found this...
I think in some parts of the world they are...I know the supplier of the local base...they had 2 pallets of them...I paid not much more for the pair than if i would have bought one big agm or red top...they get a bulk price on them...nice thing as well since they go through so many these were...
That's what I have! I only have a 80lb bottle. The place I got it from has a bunch...only 33$ each! Not sure if I can post where on this thread though.
