    05+ super duty axles?

    It's a non-issue, given the '05+ request, but your info isn't 100% correct. '04-down DID use Dana 60s, as well as Dana 50s. '05+ Dana 60s have more robust unit bearings. They're definitely a go-to axle for the rock crawler/bouncer crowd. @plugugly - What are you planning on doing for a...

    Anyone use the Yukon diff covers?

    I have one on the 14 bolt of my '86 CUCV. It is VERY nice. I did have to get some spacers and longer bolts to work with the existing brake splitter bracket, but other than that minor setback (not the fault of Yukon or the specific cover), I'm very pleased with the cover itself. Craig

    Skinny mudders

    If you're not hell-bent on keeping your stock 16" wheels, I run LT255/80R17 Nittos on Hummer H2 wheels on my '86 CUCV. They're a 33" diameter. I absolutely love the skinny tire look...have for decades. It's an all-terrain, but has side lugs that give it a more aggressive look. 17" wheels...

    A/C design

    I just pulled an almost new A/C compressor off my '87 R10 305 engine, and will be listing it here soon. I won't be running air, and have all the brackets (just need to round up a non-A/C bracket to support the bottom of the power steering pump). Craig

    *SOLD* Military M1028 CUCV Shelter Carrier Hardware

    The M1028 was an even heavier CUCV variant designed as a shelter carrier. I won't be using the carrier brackets/hardware for my project truck. I'm including a photo of the brackets/hardware included, and also one of them installed on the bed for reference. These would work great for a...

    *SOLD* Clean '85 Fleetside long bed sheet metal (bed floor, front bed panel & wheelhouses)

    I have a bed floor, front bed panel and wheelhouses from a 1985 military M1028 CUCV (K30). The underside of the bed is still black paint in nice condition. This truck had a communications shelter with its own floor, so the sheet metal was much more protected than a typical military truck/work...

    OEM dual gas/fuel tanks, valve, hardware, etc. (1985 C10)

    I pulled the dual fuel tanks, hangers, valve, protective valve "shield", etc. off the essentially rust-free North Carolina 1985 GMC 1/2-ton rolling chassis I bought for my project truck. Filler necks/hoses are also included, but one is missing the fill cap. The rubber parts are old/dry, but...

    Show me your 8 lug wheels!

    No rubbing here. I have 1/2"+ clearance between the drag link joint and driver-side front tire at full lock to the right. My previous tires (over 12" wide, and on the truck when I bought it) *did* rub when turning to the right. I had Discount Tire confirm the fit of the front driver tire...
