Great to hear she is moving under her own power. I changed out those hoses while the engine was out, boy those must have been fun. Keep up the good work.

I have had the same issues, one key thing is to shake, shake, shake until you can shake no more, I have cursed many of those cans. I did find recently that the paint sold by Ron Fitspatrick/G503.com is a much better spray can and the paint is great, it has a spray nozzle like the Rustoleum cans...

Glad to hear you are back working on the goat. If you need something send me a pm I may have something, I'll keep an eye out for a top.

OK re sent, sorry was at my data limit.

Sent a PM on the door handles, fenders can be had but I don't think the radiator support and grill are being made.

I have done both swaps, the 700R4 was much better in my opinion.

Looks good, I sold the original "Plan B" truck a couple of weeks ago, he drove from Maine back to CA without issue, a testament to it's reliability. I never had any problems as well, glad to see this M1010 cure is living on to help others.

Thanks guys, my dome is in great shape, just need to remove it to clean out, mine is riveted on, appears factory.

Good job, about to tackle the roof on my M886, was replacing that front piece a major job ?, I need to remove mine to clean out some nasty insulation and want to blast and paint that area. I purchased some closed end water tight rivets for replacements.

Dorman makes the manifolds, I did not replace the RH side with the valve and spring but Dorman does offer it. I purchased mine from Amazon. The gasket that came with the manifold was not correct for my application, correct gasket set noted in my post. Raining here today so I will have to add...

No reverse lights mystery solved, the wire that supplies the voltage to the horn and reverse lights was broken free from the firewall connector on the inside. On the engine side the wire just pulled out, typical Dodge dodgy wiring. I drilled a hole through the firewall block and ran the wire...

Drove the M886 yesterday for the first time on the road, made it back without issue. It shifts very smooth, the power steering is nice but seems too easy to steer, wondering if the original equipped PS trucks had a smaller wheel ? I have replaced about every bulb, seems either they were burnt...

Is the factory steering wheel for power steering a smaller diameter than the manual steering wheel ? The power steering with the original(manual)wheel seems too easy to steer. Thanks

Rainy here today so can't do much in the way of body work so I decided to tie up some loose ends on the electrical. The truck had a cobbled up grill and lights when I got it, they cut the factory bulb sockets off so I got them from the core support donor truck, luckily the 86 socket had not...

Sprayed the front bumper and valence OD today and replaced the LH front fender, one coat of paint on the spare tire bracket.

Sandblasted the rear light brackets and spare tire bracket, also had to fabricate one new "wing" for it as one was rotted pretty badly. Also installed new gas magnum shocks on the front, the PO installed new coil over shocks in the rear. I could not find original replacements for the rear...

Looking good Tom, keep plugging away.

I am going to disagree with the lube order on this one. Here is a picture of a spindle assembly, you can see a black dot if you look directly below the grease fitting. This is where the grease comes out, not on the spindle shaft but on the inner bearing. If you pump grease in it's going to...

Heater is all buttoned up and bolted down the core support. Sandblasted and primed the front bumper and filler/valence today. Drove the truck up and down my road a few times, a different ride compared to my M1010, having the rear body and cab attached, power steering works well. Next on the...

Heater core from Amazon was a fail, still no delivery date so I cancelled the order. Instead I found a similar core by looking through a heater core catalog, the core was the same size but different outlet lengths and no tin surround. I was able to sweat on standard copper pipe fittings to...
