    problem with all lights

    This is true, to a point. These issues may or may not be related. The circuit breaker may be being tripped simply because of its age. A "weak" circuit breaker by itself should not cause the battery to go dead, but it will cause all the lights to keep going off and on by itself like you...

    Anybody got M880 restoration tips?

    Nothing special about the bed removal. I suggest that once you get it off to pull the fuel sending unit from the top of the tank and inspect it, it may save you from having to drop the tank at a later time...

    problem with all lights

    If equipped with blackout lights, the switch has an internal thermal circuit breaker. Something is causing it to trip and as posted above cleaning the grounds is a good place to start. Also check to see if the factory wiring has been hacked into, sometimes the factory turn signal switch goes...

    M884 found / M880 series value?

    Now if it was a CUCV I would say : The fact that it is 4WD = $1,000. The fact that it's a CHEVY = - $1,500. The fact that it is an MV = $1,000. The fact that it MIGHT make it out of the driveway = 39.99 For a grand total of : $539.99 :whistle:
