The 73 - 91 GM truck body (Suburban, Blazer, Pickup) are MY body style. I've owned three Subs, an M1009, an M1031 and I just added an M1028a3. I will concur that the engine can be loud. The cab CAN be loud. There is NO A/C. Nor is there a radio. At least in stock form. But consider this. All...

As promised, here are the pix of the Molle bags attached to the sides and back of the seat.

If you do go this route, keep us informed. I've been wanting an M1010, but have heard they had issues with electrical. This is because they have only one alternator and an A/C compressor on the drivers side. But I could be wrong. Hopefully someone with an M1010 will speak up to let you...

Nick, Contact the guy who owns Alpha Heaven. He as TWO M1028a3's (or he did about three months ago). Both are fairly low miles. BUT he wants $15k for either of them. He has already swapped out the gears to 3.73's instead of the 4.56's. But they are 'road ready' according to his website. Here...

What he said. Personal experience. Mine was showing ALL the symptoms yours is showing. I clipped the broken connector off, put on a new slide on connector and pushed it onto one of the three prongs sticking out from the side wall. ALL those problems were solved. Crash_AF is correct. Check...

I got all the bags attached to the back and side. It's dark now so I'll take pix in the morning and post them. I must say, I really like the look. And the seat covers are pretty comfy over heated vinyl. We hit 90 degrees today and hot vinyl seats is no fun. I can't wait to see how they work...

Ok, I posted this seat cover sold by Smittybilt a few weeks back. 4 Wheel Drive parts held their Truckfest here in Denver this weekend. I had talked to a gent whose name is Matt Westhoff and he told me to come out and I could have him try the fit on my truck before I spent the money. AND they...

SS, Actually, I talked to two State Trooper offices. They could offer no help, as they said they understood WHY I was having problems, but ONLY the DMV issues the permits. Like me, they didn't want to tangle with the DMV personnel either. So I just gave up and took the trip. And jeez, I feel...

BobM, Thx. It IS a nice truck. My wife even likes it. She disliked the deuce, so I sold it (not the ONLY reason mind you). And I was not trying to cause any one any problems. As was said, I just couldn't afford $4000 (lowest bid I got) to have it transported. Most shippers balked BECAUSE of...

Joe, THX. You are correct. I ROLLED THE DICE. I DID GET LUCKY. Thank you GOD for letting me get home safely with no incidents to mar the 'adventure'. But IF I had been stopped, I would have been all humble and apologetic and I would have PAID what ever ticket they would have given me. I...

I was wearing a T shirt and shorts. Remember, this truck has no A/C and no radio. So, T shirt with both windows down, rolling down the highway at 60 mph. OK, I basically got really short hair and a short goatee. Both mainly gray. So no, I wasn't impersonating anyone. I was trying to get my...

I basically concur that if someone is BREAKING THE LAW (impersonating military personnel), THEY SHOULD GO TO JAIL. FOR A LONG TIME. But you are of the mind of throwing the baby out with the bath water. What you are basically saying is ALL of us should be impacted by the bad judgement of even...

emmado22, A big roger on the insurance. I won't drive with out it. You can get paper plates in Colorado if you can show a bill of sale, which I have AND either have a title or (in this case) an SF97 that my state recognizes. But not until the truck is here in Colorado. So, yes to the...

I finally got my M1028a3 home. It was a four day drive. The first day was short. The next three were long. From Sctanton, PA to Denver, CO. But I made it home with nothing the worse for wear. I WILL post a full account later. And here's four pix.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for. If you want more sound, GREAT. Some form of glasspacks/flowmasters/cherry bombs will do the trick. If you want to increase air flow without much increase in sound, consider the muffler that is used on the STS Cadillac. The STS is (was?) the...

chev779K5, I used a set of curved blade tin snips. This is only 22 gauge steel, so it was fairly easy. kapnklug, You don't need the strap steel. But it gives you solid support under where the holes are drilled out. That puts the pressure of screwing the two wingnuts down into place across...

swyne, WHERE did you get LED dash light bulbs? Did I miss something? And wouldn't a white paint do a better job on reflecting light? I've been considering painting my under dash plastic. But I'm going with white. Every time I used silver, I end up redoing it in white. Thx for the great work...

I'm about to pick up my new to me M1028a3. So I made a second K&N top. The 24 x 24 inch 22 gauge sheet was $18.48 and the 1/8 inch x 1 1/2 inch x 3 ft strap was $5.86 - for a grand total of $24.34 and a couple of parts I have on hand (rivets & J B Weld). The second one took about an hour...

I flat love it. Did the Rustoleum come out of the can that smooth, or did you thin it a bit. I'm wanting to do the interior of my M1009 that way. But I don't like the normal lumpy look I've seen with most bedliners. That is excellent work. How did you like working with the CARC...

I'd have to say it depends on it's age. Older rigs, they could be either inside or outside. But ALL the newer rigs have the intake on the inside. Like this: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=128817&stc=1&d=1245367634
