No, no, thanks for the info. It's always good to learn of another connection for these vehicles. Sometimes easier than searching Craigslist! I'm just saying that buying ANY old Michigan vehicle can be iffy. Hopefully they do have solid ones. I emailed them yesterday, but didn't get a...

I'll do that. Such is the curse of buying ANY kind of truck in Michigan! I'm not afraid to patch some holes, but it would certainly be ideal to get something that the bed mounts and such aren't rusted completely away. *sigh* Such a delicate balance between living where I can enjoy the snow...

Thank you! I wasn't aware of these guys, but I will check them out!

Yeah, up at school I had a buddy with an older 1 ton chevy, and I think calling it a brick s#!thouse was paying it a compliment. I've ridden two holers that had better manners. At the time, I also had an 89 K5 that took some engine mods, but nothing really to the suspension. I LOVED that...

Hmmm.....I don't think I've ever heard someone say a 1 ton "flexed decently" before! haha! I know what you mean, though. I'll look into the TC springs. I've known a few people who've put the superlift on 1/2 ton trucks, but not anyone who's done the TC. I'm searching for that delicate mix...

Agreed. Lived in Lansing for the past 4 years, so I'm used to hearing talk about her. Hope it all works out for you in the end. Hmm....could be the one. Don't directly remember the red marker panels, but then again I wasn't looking specifically. Don't think there are TOO many of them up here...

The m1009 I saw was still camo. Maybe it was just a Fudgie passing through. :-) Glad to hear you got a blazer you like. I'm not in a huge hurry, so if something comes along up here I'll grab it, if not, I'll just keep my eyes open for something a little farther away. Originally, I was...

Armada, Tried to PM, mailbox was full. Let me know when I can send email, or drop me the info using the email that is registered with the site. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that. My wife and I grew up in Detroit, so this was always a vacation spot we came to. Finally said, "we travel up there so much, why not live there?" Was lucky enough to find a job in this currently crappy economic state..... I agree completely. I actually think smaller lift +...

Yup, took a job up here at the end of last summer. Someplace that we've always wanted to live (NM in general). Thanks! I was hoping to hear from you. I've followed your m1008 buildup on this site as well as cardomain. Very similar to what I'd like to do. Got to get to those fishin' holes...

I have a search saved, and I've been on there looking, but the problem is that I can't seem to find a base that is selling them any closer than a 12 hour drive or so....one way. I suppose I could ask someone to check one out for me and fly out, but I would much rather see it personally as it's...

I've been looking for a generic wheelin' / fishin' truck for a little while now, and had a lead on a SBC 350 equipped m1008, but I'm not sure it will be going through. I decided that a CUCV would suit my needs well. Something basic, yet strong, with huge axles and a locker, the kind of mods I...
