    M1008 - To Buy Or Not To Buy...

    Oh yeah, it's missing one of the tow loops (front drivers side) so I'm looking for a replacement. Will be looking at the classifieds... My plan is to keep her as original as possible.

    M1008 - To Buy Or Not To Buy...

    Hello all! I just found and joined this site last night. I am deciding whether to buy an '86 M1008, and if I do it will be my daily driver (wife says ONE car/truck at a time!). Do you guys use them as weekend/camping/hunting rigs or do you drive them to work each morning? What kind of upkeep...
