    New M1008 Project

    WOW then I would say they did a stupendous astronomical job. Because I have a few 1984 model CUCV'S that are still all stock wiring and never even had a battery cable end or glow plug terminal changed on them. Lets see the warranty was 12 months 12,000 miles. So they exceeded the warranty by 31...

    New M1008 Project

    Have you ever camped in one of them M1010's? I hope you are a midget. I would put a hitch on the back and get a nice tow behind camper. Or get a pick up camper and mount it on back in a bed.

    I am right up the road from you off I 81 N exit 90 if you want to see a CUC/V that has no hacking done to the wiring harness. I have 5 or 6 on site at all times. And several in the field out back for parts. Just an idea. My Son and I rebuild these things all the time. Mostly after being hacked...
