I have not camped in it yet. I like the enclosed space. I want it to be so that no one is the wiser if the truck is in a parking spot and it doesn't stick out like an RV or travel trailer. I am redoing the insulation and will be putting a diesel hydronic heater to battle the cold.

Very nice! Where did you find the rocker switch with the correct writing for the GP's?

I am converting mine over to how a normal CUCV charging system works except I am using a pair of Leece Neville 12v 160A self exciting units instead of the 27si units. I still have to integrate it to the batteries and bus bars. I pulled the entire engine harness and cut out the already hacked up...

I agree, kill those terminal clamps. I have to re-do everything on my M1010. I just bought $150 worth of cable and lugs on McMaster Carr to do this...not cheap. I would also run the cables on top of the battery hold downs or add some protective chaffe cover to them. Project looks like it is...

Nice score! Good luck with the wiring. Just pull apart everything that doesn't look original :)

You asked for information regarding seal replacement vs. replacing what you have with a reman. I offered up something for you to condsider regarding a reman box which apparently to you seemed like "rocket science". You can take my opinion for what it is but I think your attitude and tone in...

I will make two statements here for anyone reading this now or in the future will which benefit all that have a newly purchased unknown rig. 1. Do not attempt to start these rigs until you have done the proper repairs/upgrades like replacing all the GP's, resistor bypass, starter solenoid fix...

The problem is most remans don't have a high enough quality control. So excessive wear on the gears is not too much of a concern. If it is shiny and holds fluid, it ships. It's a numbers game. With a lifetime warranty pitch, they make the sale at a lower price and hope that whatever junk you...

Antenna Climber took care of me, thank you very much!

Figures I just bought one a few days ago :/ Card was sent out super fast and very happy with the transaction. Can't wait to insert into the empty GP slot to see what happens!

We should do the opposite thread...who has the least miles :) My M1031 had about 5k miles on it, truck looked brand new. My M1010 had 3600 miles on it and probably was never washed in the winter.

Anytime bud!

I'm not sure what you could off the shelf for prebent metal that will work but I'm sure you could fab something from a rectangular box steel tubing. I think all it does is lay on top of the side rails to support the weight like a header panel. I would pull the back upper skin off which should...

Most of my work up front will be converting the box over to a livable space along with the necessary mods to get the truck running under its own power. Right out of the gate I changed the starter relay, GP's, and GP solenoid. I am awaiting a new controller card but in the meantime the fuel...

The purpose of this build is to take the M1010 and outfit it into an all terrain RV that can haul my Samurai and sleds or serve as an expedition platform for any type of non-hardcore offroading. Part of this like any other old truck build involves starting at one end and working your way to the...

Here is the specifics on the rear steel support member that's in the ceiling. You can see that it a rectangular piece which makes no contact with the roof skin.

I just got my alternators mounted up (a pair of 12v 160A Leece's) and haven't looked at belts yet. Someone must have put smaller belts on it because they were the same width as the stock Chevy belts and sit very far in the pulleys. Looking at what you have, I'm going with 1/2" belts since this...

I think the tank dimensions for the 73' and later rigs are all interchangeable tank for tank, the filler neck is smaller on pre 85'ish models. I think they went from 1 1/2" to 1 5/8", I would double check the numbers though. LMC and RockAuto can confirm that. I believe the difference between the...

I never said I wanted to drive it that cold as it sounds like a grenade, it starts though no issue and no double glow cycles required.

So I have a fairly new IP, GP's, and batteries. I jump in, key on, wait light out, blip the key and it fires up everytime. I don't think I've ever held the key to the start position more than 2-3 seconds even in the coldest weather (follow the throttle pedal according to the visor). Your mileage...
