    Poll Spring or Box Seat

    The box seat gives more room, but I like sitting up higher in the spring seat so I prefer those. I have the tension adjustment cranked up so the only time they really bounce is on a harsher than normal bump. You're right Kenny, the seat back is over padded and doesn't need to be. It's actually...

    Chassis paint prep, Packard crimpers

    Clinto, here's another gauge panel for your collection... :) Sorry for the poor photo quality. Sanblast the rusty parts of the frame. You'll find that military paint is a LOT harder to remove than automotive paint so just sand the good paint (non rusty areas). That will give the new paint some...

    Gauges to replace Dummy lights

    Here's a good spot to add a gauge. You could use the radio cut out also, if you don't have a radio mounted.

    New pics.. home and "modded"

    Looks good! Ditto what Mike said. I know of a guy that smashed a light on a tree branch when they were set at that heigth.... ;) I lowered the extensions on mine so that the light base sits on top of the angle bracket. The lights are still just above the top. The main poles have a 'stop'...

    Rims and Tires

    RE: Re: Rims and Tires A 1009 steel rim is 15" X 8" wide. There are many different tire manufacturers and they all have their own recommendations on what size tire will fit on what rim width based on load ranges, section widths, etc. Stock 1009 tires are 31x10.5. For an average though, if using...

    Well, you are not getting full output from the gens. Needle should be on the white post in the upper part of the green, unless the glow plugs are cycling. First, pull the gen gage (idiot light) light bulb and replace, for both lights. Put in new ones. I've had the bulb fail before and the...

    Alfa Heaven just put up a Sweet M1009

    Here is an Alfa customer review by IRWFO. Thanks for being honest about what issues you had IRWFO. It is a nice looking truck you have for sure, but with so many 'little' issues that you found after spending some time with it, I seriously doubt their extensive 'going over' of the trucks they...

    Are you getting a full charging reading on the voltmeter? Not just in the green, but on the white post in the green. Check gage bulbs first and the bulb socket for corrosion. They can be accessed from under dash. By design, if a bulb is bad, the gen wil have no output.
