    M1010 - No more DUVAC!!

    When the truck is not in use, set the master light switch to off. When on, there is a relay that is ALWAYS drawing power. This is related to the rear lighting in the M1010.

    Hotshot Transportation Co. ~ New Truck

    Big thanks to Eric and Bill for delivering my latest acquisitions. They secured a loose window on the M109 and removed the cargo cover for transport. Great job. I'll be seeing you guys again! Enjoy the photos. The M35A2 came with a bonus bird's nest and eggs at no extra charge! Who wants an...

One day it towed fine through many tight turns...no issues...tracked beautifully. 4 weeks later, different pull vehicle (still a M35) but same tow bar length and towed truck, except every turn was a nightmare until...

    Prices vary based on a lot of factors. Hard top or soft top? Heater kit? Electric wipers? condition of vehicle, etc, etc, etc. Post some photos and you might get a better idea from our comments.

    6.2 Fuel System ?

    DAAE07730232 = DAAE07-73-0232 Contract year is 1973. Your truck would have been produced sometime after 1973 during the following years.

    Under the truck there will be two air packs if you have dual brakes. The passenger side air pack will be to the inside near the fuel tank...post some photos of the underside if you can and that will settle it. Also, is there a brake light on the dash in the center of the cluster?

    6.2 lift pump install

    1. Get the pump mounting plate gasket for a SBC chevy. The replacement pump comes with the pump gasket, but you will need to remove the mounting plate to get the push rod in place. 2. 1/4 ratchet set with a swivel 3. Bleed the system the same as if you changed the fuel filter.
