Is the m1009 brush guard and bumper still avilable? Would you consider shipping them?
Try PM'ing Muddog, he is parting out military trucks all the time and would be halfway closer than I am.
 
Kenny, I would be interested in the inner/outer front fenders,front clip/radiator support and front headlights and bezels if availible. Live locally (Lynnwood)

Still have them, should have them out of the truck by this weekend if I can keep up with everything.
 
What condition are they in?

And can you describe the characteristics of "Rancho prerunner" springs? Have not had much luck searching on the net.

Thanks!
 
What does the truck have for shocks?

Can you measure the distance between the mounting points front and rear? My K25 needs a set, but I can't afford brand new ones, and can't seem to find any used ones that'll fit it...

Lemme know via PM incase I forget to check this thread again!

Pretty good shape, all the inserts between the springs are still in good shape. Poly bushings look good too. The prerunner springs are full military wrap springs that are designed for high speed desert racing from what I understand. I bought them in excellent used condition, installed them then blew the motor in my truck the next day :doah:

You can see the shocks in the pic above. They are adjustable shocks, but I forget the brand. I'm going to be using the front shocks, not sure about the rears yet.
 
OK, can you hold them for me for a day or 2 while I research how these will work on my K5?

Thanks.
 
I don't hold anything without a non-refundable deposit. Take your time and do the research you need to feel comfortable. If they are gone when you want them something else will probably come along closer anyway.
 
How much for the passenger tail light assembly shipped to 77084? Need everything from the lens to the backing plate that the lights plug into.

OK, I am a bit worried that those springs will be very sensitive to loads, changing ride height easily. Do you have any comments about that? Did you drive that enough to know how loads affected ride height?

Thanks.
 
I drove with the springs in the truck for about 70 miles before the motor went and didn't have much of a load. But the springs are soft, ride smooth and there is a difference in ride height just from having the top on or off (truck sits level with no top, but sags a little with the top).
 
Wiring is going with the body tub and I planned on leaving the tailights with it too (already have a buyer). But I have extra taillights with backing plates in my storages shed, just no wiring. I'll sell the taillights/backing plates for $10 each plus $10 shipping for FedEx Ground

Sounds good, PM me with how you want payment.
