    Bolts Securing Bed to Frame

    In the process of putting my truck back together. One problem I've found is that the bolts securing the bed to the frame that came off the truck are in pretty bad shape (in one case it had to be cut off). I'm having trouble finding the right bolts. Lots of people out there selling kits for...

    Would a 12V conversion be worth it for me?

    My 1986 M1028 has been undergoing a full frame-off resto-mod for some time. It has a Banks Turbo and NV4500 installed. In the future, I would like it to have A/C. Currently, the cab is off the frame getting ready to be repainted and the wiring is out of the truck. The question is this: Is...

    True or Not True?

    I've been trying to get a replacement bed for the M1028 I have (It came from GL looking like someone was paid to beat it with various size hammers). After a few "I don't have any, but maybe try this guy" responses, I spoke with a guy that dealt exclusively with military Chevys. When I say...

    Restoration Work Near Jacksonville, FL

    Any suggestions on who does decent work and knows the vehicles? Doesn't have to be right here, I'd be willing to take it a couple hundred miles for someone that will do good work and not be scratching their head looking at a CUCV's idiosyncrasies. The body doesn't need too much work (if you...
