    M1010 Convoy Truck

    I see what you thoughts are on that. I was thinking that I was going to be keeping the A/C and the heater (making 24V imperative) and was in a pinch to make it dependable to get it home so I opted to upgrade the charging system to a near "M1009" setup but I used (2) 160 A 12V alternators vs the...

    M1010 Convoy Truck

    Did you keep the 24V system? I did. Sometimes I wonder if that was a good idea but I had a M1009 for about 18 years as a DD and it worked well so I swapped out the factory M1010 alternators and put in new 12V and rewired as the M1009. I am wanting to put civilian battery holders, one on each...

    M1010 Convoy Truck

    I got it. Thanks for the reply. I did eventually find several more rivets that I had missed and then it came out fairly easily. I think if I had found all the rivets to start with it would have been easier then the left one. A few of the screws under the duct were very difficult to get out...

    M1010 Convoy Truck

    That is one seriously involved upgrade. Mine is staying together as much as I can keep it that way. I did want to remove the interior walls and verify I have no leaks in the outer skin, upgrade the insulation, change some of the wiring while it was open and re-install the interior aluminum...

    M1010 Convoy Truck

    No progress reports for awhile! How is it going? Is the insulation in the M1010 in bad shape? Seems like lots of folks are pulling the walls and replacing the insulation. Do you think it is worth the effort? What are you putting in and what are you using for the new interior walls. The...
