Well that is definitely worrisome. I wonder if there is a way to test the insulation value with a infrared monitor and put a heater on the inside of the box. It probably would not work well unless it is cold out which it is not in NC these days. I may reconsider pulling some liner down and see...

That does not look bad at all. I would think that foam panels might have a bit more R value but not sure the cost of money and time would be worth it. I guess I will look into how the wires get into that box and see if I can make them work. Thanks for the pictures!

I did not think of that. Not bad. I'm about to pull the plug on a tank/hanger/sender unit and valve for mine and I guess I should rethink it a bit before I do.

So, do you think pulling the walls out and replacing the old insulation is worthwhile? I only want to do this once and I have a blank canvas right now. Seems it would help to get wires where I need them too....?

I'm confused. Why is making the rear main tank a great idea? What is the benefit of that? I'm in the process of adding a passenger side tank into my M1010 and have thought of a third tank in the spare tire space, especially since the spare (which is larger than stock) does not fit there very...

Yes, fuel system works well after complete replacement....tank, lift pump, sending unit and injector pump. Running well now.

Just to finish off the post. I got the truck home. She is named Oliver and seems to be very happy. Engine running smooth, no more hiccups so on to the next step in the project. Thanks for all your help.

I see what you thoughts are on that. I was thinking that I was going to be keeping the A/C and the heater (making 24V imperative) and was in a pinch to make it dependable to get it home so I opted to upgrade the charging system to a near "M1009" setup but I used (2) 160 A 12V alternators vs the...

Did you keep the 24V system? I did. Sometimes I wonder if that was a good idea but I had a M1009 for about 18 years as a DD and it worked well so I swapped out the factory M1010 alternators and put in new 12V and rewired as the M1009. I am wanting to put civilian battery holders, one on each...

I got it. Thanks for the reply. I did eventually find several more rivets that I had missed and then it came out fairly easily. I think if I had found all the rivets to start with it would have been easier then the left one. A few of the screws under the duct were very difficult to get out...

Antennaclimber, Did you have trouble getting the passenger box out of the back of your M1010? I think I have all the rivets drilled out including the 4 holding the heater exhaust flange under the box. The one in the rear corner behind the control panel/vent panel was tricky to find. Seems...

I'm not familiar with the Vintage Air kits. I have heard of them but wonder how well they fit and how hard they are to put in. What specific kit are you using? Are you going to use the factory compressor from the ambulance system or replace it? I am thinking a roof top heat pump for the back...

I like it.

That is one seriously involved upgrade. Mine is staying together as much as I can keep it that way. I did want to remove the interior walls and verify I have no leaks in the outer skin, upgrade the insulation, change some of the wiring while it was open and re-install the interior aluminum...

Anyone ever figure this out?

Thanks for the fast response. Pictures I've seen in the past were closer to the factory then this one so I will attempt a slight move closer and see if that feels different. It seems to be running pretty well after the tank, lift pump, injection pump and sending unit replacement. Next up is...

I put it back in just like this when I put in the new pump.

Hey Mike, Does this look right? I could not tell if the heavy mark is factory and its way off or if the light mark is factory and it could be a bit more to the drivers side? Any ideas? Thanks Charlie

No progress reports for awhile! How is it going? Is the insulation in the M1010 in bad shape? Seems like lots of folks are pulling the walls and replacing the insulation. Do you think it is worth the effort? What are you putting in and what are you using for the new interior walls. The...

Old post but same problem.....I had the steering wheel off, the blinker mechanism off and there was no pin to be removed and no place I could see that needed to be broken out. Here is a picture of what I saw. Meanwhile I put it back together to wait for information. Any idea what I do from...
