fuel sending unit Actually, I haven't tested mine. I meant the wrong resistance is the resistance ratings on the sending units I have researched to buy. I have not removed my tank yet. If careful with it, the truck works fine. Rust on top of unit doesn't matter me as long as all metal inside...

Hi. If you can get a sending unit for one of these, I will definitely buy one from you. Every unit I have found has the wrong resistance values. That sounds to me that it would cause the fuel gauge to be inaccurate. I've also been looking for a fuel gauge with matching specs for the sending...

I always thought a pickup truck with one of these utility bodies and a slide in camper would be a great vehicle. OK, the camper would sit high because of the utility bed, but all that extra storate? wow. 20 lb propane bottles instead of 5, 20 gal water heater instead of 4, 20 or more gal...

Cool, glad that worked. Gives some help for my beast, currently nicknamed "Trouble". I may have a lead on parts from a gentleman on here. Enjoy your beast! Myles

sending unit and gauge search Thanks for all the answers. I "m glad it isn't just me that thought the prices at the 2 links Bob posted seemed awfully expensive. No offense Bob, just a surprise. Next, I am aware the civilian parts do swap in. The problem I found was finding someone who sold...

fuel sending unit Thanks to both of you for the help. I remembered Saturn Surplus after posting this note. I have already emailed them for both the sending unit and gauge. Didn't think of the rusted fuel lines themselves. Are these cleanable or just buy new ones? Are there specific fuel lines...

I have a set of 4 8x16,5 rims from my 77 M880 for sale. I replaced them with 16" rims and put Dakota Definity Mud Terrain tires from Pepboys. I need a spare, but I would rather buy a 5 new rim and tire so all match.The new rims cost me $85 apiece and the tires were $133 plus mounting, etc. I am...

Hi. I am looking for the sending unit that fits the 77 M880 plastic fuel tank. I can't seem to find one that matches the specs for this truck. I will be dropping my tank to clean it. I am getting rust in the fuel filter. Since the tank is plastic, I am assuming the rust comes from the metal of...

replaced sending unit Hi. I am looking for the sending unit that fits the 77 M880 plastic fuel tank. Did you have to replace your unit? I can't seem to find one that matches the specs for this truck. I too am having to drop my tank and clean it. I am getting rust in the fuel filter. Since the...

Guess the subject says it all. I found this listing at Saturn Surplus. Also, have a local tranny shop with a "good used one" for $275. I think the extra$100 would make it worthwhile. Any opnions? Anyone comingto CO skiing soon and want to help swap em? heck, had to ask. thanks Myles Government...

thanks for the tips. guess the electrical issues are first, but that may wait tll spring. I'm way too old to work outside in snow. Myles

OK, I traded for this truck because it's a 2500 lb load carrying truck, and I have to haul my drinking water in, as I have no well. I gather it's a rather basic M880, 1977 with a 318 and automatic tranny. I have a 325gal tank to put in the bed. For now, that's about all it will be doing...

Hi. I just recently traded a 81 Ford class C RV for a 1977 m880. Runs ok, body is beat but only a little rust. I'm not much into restoring but this may turn out to be my first project. It's gonna be a work truck for me. I live on 2 acres and no well. I haul water and just bought a 325 gal tank...
