    Rack universal or modular mounting arm anyone?

    If you can make this - and keep the over all cost at or below $1000 you will sell lots of them aluminum vs steel I would imagine it is actually a cost vs weight factor the aluminum will be lighter, but probably cost more the steel will be heavier, but be cheaper so - your trade - off will...

    Fuel Tank Question

    I had a buddy of mine who did this back in 1976 with one of the original Civvy trucks just like this. He put the filler spout up under the wheel well. If you didn't look closely, you could NOT see it. I'm seriously considering this for my M1028A2. Thx for the pix

    M1009 Rack Update

    it's a good start but I suspect to hold the weight that will be put on a rack, those arms are going to need to be a bit more substantial love to see what you can come up with for arms along this idea line - I liked that the design as it was shown allowed for it to be run with or without the top...

    91 suburban springs

    73 - 91's? yes perhaps earlier models, but I have owned several of these and they all have the same length rear springs - I believe they are 58" between spring perches - at least that's what I have found over twenty years of owning these silly beasts but I could be wrong about that.

    Batterys

    military seems to agree with me and how did I get that price? I called the Interstate distributor in the Colorado area and asked them how much. Like I said, because I purchased six, I got a fair discount, but my distributor has sold them to me in PAIRS for $250 plus tax... don't know where...
