Positive ground or Negative ground on 1st Gens.
I'm not sure if that is completely accurate, if you could be more specific, I learn something new every day. I am under the impression that when Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth changed from 6v to 12v in the early 1950's they went to a negative ground electrical system.- dougmcp

Positive ground or Negative ground on 1st Gens.
Must be an awfully old CB, I haven't seen a car/truck with positive ground since the 1940's/1950's. LOL- dougmcp

Extra Fuel Tank
I have a stock 30 gal fuel tank on my 2000, even at 12mpg that's 360 miles of driving. I need a fuel stop by that time to relieve my bladder.- dougmcp

Travel Trailer fishtailed - Hitch problem? - Any advice?
My thoughts: - The tires on the trailer were low on air - Not enough weight on the hitch - Too much weight in the rear of the trailer - Oversteering the vehicle - Towing TT is totally different from a truck/camper or 5th wheel- dougmcp

m1008 (mil spec chevy)
I'd go to the auction in Sparta, look them over and maybe get one of those for a good price. If the auction falls through then you can deal on your buddies truck. -

Would You Tow It?
IMO the Expy is OK to tow some things but this is a big push to pull a 29' trailer with an 11,000 gross weight. The HD towing equipped Expy is only rated to tow a max of 8,000 lbs +/- and that includes the passengers and all the gear in the truck. Check your door post for the max for yours, it...- dougmcp

Plasti-dip Thoughts, Comments Suggestions
I like the look but from a practical aspect, with that height it may be a problem. I'd paint the steps and re-install them. -
How do you bring back the shine in running boards
Note that anything you put on the running boards to make them come back to life will also make them slippery. I don't use the running boards as a step but my wife does and informed me if I ever did that again she would kill me.
