Can't wait to get the M1008 running. Currently in AZ and heading for northern MI shortly, where the CUCV is stored. I drove various Military vehicles in Korea, Japan, CO and VA, 60 years ago. Why do I like the vehicle? At age 79 it gives me something to putter with and brings back a lot of...

I had a similar situation with rust on my M715. First MV I purchased online from a private party without first checking it out. The seller had a high positive rating on the popular auction site and the pictures attached to the ad looked great. I was 2000 miles distant from the seller, and...

Had planned to sell my M886, and concentrate on my M725, but after reading numerous posts I got stimulated enough to now keep the M886 and possibly paint it OD. I may have paid a little too much for mine ($3,200.00), but it's in good condition and it isn't like I have too many years to look...

psycho - there's thousands of HUMVEES sitting on Bases here in the U.S. and overseas. They are selling them in large lots, as scrap, removing the wheels/tires and chopping them into small pieces - what a waste. This is a little off-topic from my original post/question, but something that should...

Thanks again for the comments. Will pursue this a little more when I have time.:goodjob:

NDT - Appreciate your comment. Any idea why they put the Ambulance Box on rather then the standard Contact Maintenance Body?

Thanks for all the comments. Bob - I'm in Ironwood, western end of the U.P., approx. another 150 miles west of Iron Mountain. The possible USMC connection is interesting, plan to do a little more research on that angle.:smile:

Found mine on GSA. I think I might have paid too much, but everything has different value to different folks. Think I will sell mine, but I'm a long way from TX. Good luck hunting, if you haven't found one yet.

M886 ? Adding a few more pictures to my post.

Thanks- a few more pictures attached. This vehicle went from the Military to the US Forest Service to a small town in northern MN then to me via GSA . (Having a problem adding pics, so will try sending via new thread)

I assumed I had a M886 Ambulance. GSA sold it as a M885. The vehicle dash plate shows it as a M887. I will try to add a few pictures.:?

Thanks also from me Stoner. Exactly what I've been searching for. penokeevet:-)

Does anyone know how to have something picked up and shipped, from Cannon AFB in New Mexico?

What year was the last M101A1 trailer manufactured? (Not A2 or A3)

Anyone near Rapid City, SD that can pickup a one ton truck at Ellsworth and store it for 2-3 weeks? May need ths service. penokee

Insane Hobby? Glad to hear, thought I may be one of the few that go goofey over these MV,s:) Got to be a good feeling to have it home. penokee (Yooper)

I've driven mine on 4 lane and 2 lane and the 80+ mpd drivers on the 4 lane always made me a little uptight. When I hit the 55mph 2 lane I relaxed. I have my chase car put on it's emergency flashers when vehicles are approaching from the rear - gives them a little advance notice that you are...

I'd go with Air Force blue. Years back, I was in an Army Engineering Aviation Battalion, stationed on Air Force bases and our vehicles were standard OD and Air Force vehicles Blue - a nice contrast in my opinion. Hoping to pickup a blue AirForce vehicle in the future and will park it next to my...

Get one. I have a M1008 and M1009, and drive both. Have a Historical plate on the 1009 and regular plate on the 1008. The PU is a little rough riding because of the stiff suspension, but that goes with the territory. Being a 76 year old Korean Vet who drove jeeps, Dueces and 5 tons in Korea...

I recently had to use a stretch of I-10 in AZ, towing a M1101 from Ft Huacha (?). I used the SMV sign, but when they are traveling at 80 mph or more, they either don't know what the emblem stands for, or don't care - at any rate it wasn't fun and breathed a sigh of relief when we got to Tucson...
