I've had 3 previous k5s, including a m1009, all sold almost a decade ago when we started a family.
Ive had an itch to pick up another one so after a few months searching, I found a 1986 up northeast. It was spent nearly all its life in the california desert with the exception of the past year in NH.
First hurdle was shipping, It took almost 40days for a transported to pick up the bid. I guess its busy time with all the snow birds shipping cars from the Northeast to FL. I finally found J&M Unlimited, a smaller outfit owned by former military guys.
Specs, just over 70k miles, dana 60/ dana 70, 700r4 with np208, banks turbo, and h1 wheels
My goal is to restore her, not exactly to original, but as I personally think the ideal m1009 should have come. This thread is to document the progress.
Thanks for looking
