    Our "new" M882

    Want to sell? no, but everything has its price. I'd need $8,000 to part with it, Northern Michigan to North Carolina at 55mph and 8 mpg with a tailwind. That could be a long and expensive drive, lol

    M1028 frame stiffening idea, yay? or nay?

    Crawl under and look at the rear cab mounts, those tall rubber things flex alot giving the illusion of greater frame flex at the gap between bed & cab.

    Upgrade M880 to Big Block

    www.ramchargercentral.com I believe the transmission case is different (Automatic) the manual may be just a bellhousing difference. I'm pretty sure you would need the whole big block transmission for the swap

    M880 radiator,

    Trans cooler is in the bottom tank and only gets cooled to the temp of the coolant or warmed to the temp of the antifreeze in the winter. You could add an auxillary trans cooler but keep the fluid running through the radiator also.

    M880 radiator,

    IIRC the difference in the water pumps is std - 5 vanes A/C - 7 vanes Externally the same. a 2 core just cools slower than a 3 core, so stay out of the desert and you should be fine.

The Oscoda show date was determined last fall by the Wurtsmith Air Museum's Fly In. The Clare show has been on the 3 different weekends in August, It had been the...

    M886 NOS rear doors

    Ever hear of selective enforcement? Just kiddin' sheriff! I'd venture to guess that a moderator has not seen this thread yet, also it has disscussion about the difference between the 886 & 1010 doors.

    M886 NOS rear doors

    Because over the years, every time I saw a set, all but once they were M1010 doors. The only difference is the M886 doors have a threaded hole that the M1010's didn't, for the longer middle hinge of the M880. Here's a pic of mine
