    M880 rear axle selection

    the easiest thing to do is just buy an early 90's ctd truck and stick the front clip,doors and bed off of a '75-'78 on it.You can keep the early '90s cab,its pretty much the same.You have to get a bit creative to get the hood to latch but its easier than swapping all the drivetrain parts. A '76...

    Chevy V8 mated with a TF727 M880

    Have you tried contacting anyone at chaosboyz.nl or dodgepowerwagonm880.com?They're in holland and from the pictures there seems to be quite a few m880s over there.I'm not sure if importing something from holland to denmark is cheaper tax wise but it has to be cheaper shipping wise.

    Gas tank or alternative...

    some '70s dodges had a fuel tank in the cab behind the seat....the idea freaks some people out nowadays,but years ago was pretty common.Ive had or driven several trucks with them and several older jeeps with under seat tanks.....makes a good aux and doesn't scare me.

    Cross country trip?

    When I bought my first m882 a dozen years ago I drove it from wash dc to my new home in wyoming,drove it everyday for two years 70 miles a day roundtrip comute to work ,and drove it back and forth to the east coast a couple more times.If a drunk hadn't hit it while parked I might still have...

    Starter Problems M1009

    My m1009 had the same symptoms.For some reason the solenoid shorted and melted the cable end mostly off.I put a new solenoid on and a new cable end and its been fine ever since.

    sm465 into a m1008 for towing

    I just put an sm465 in my m1009.It all bolts up really easy.Top speed is about the same since a t400 and sm465 both have 1:1 ratios in top gear.You may gain a couple more mph since you don't have converter slippage but it isn't going to change much.I haven't really noticed any difference on the...

    how much would this m880 be worth

    Well,I recently bought one that looks to be a bit nicer than that one for $250. from a friend .He had tried for over two years to get someone to pay $500 without success.Prices can vary greatly depending on where you live.I know another guy however who paid $4500. for one a couple years...

    Rough Country Lift Kits

    Ive run them,along with several other brands.They seem to be a good value and I havent found the ride to be any different than their competitors.I'm sure some of the high dollar custom springs like alcan may ride better but I haven't noticed any difference compared to rancho,trailmaster,or...

    Cummins 6BT in M880-Pitfalls?

    Why bother changing the cab?Just bolt the m8882 front clip,doors,and bed onto the '93 cab.That makes it real easy.

    6.2 to 727 adapter??

    By the time you buy an adapter,{if one even exists],I think you would be money ahead to just use the 6.2/turbo400/208.Fooling with driveshafts is likely easier/cheaper than adapting the trans,getting the starter to work,etc.Swap the chevy 60 front in while you're at it and use the chevy front...

    Pics of my 1009... to keep or not to keep

    There are tens of thousands of people who have run blazers/pickups with 10 bolt rears and 33-35" tires.I dont see where the 8.8 rear used in early eighties on up broncos is any great improvement in strength over the 10 bolt.I'm not a great fan of the 10 bolt rear but im not a great fan of any of...

    NP203

    203 equipped 727,s have a rear output shaft about 1.5 inches shorter then 727 with a 208/205.it will still engage the 208 but will only give you half the engagement you would get with the right output shaft
