Finally after years of looking and bidding and surfing and driving all over the tristate area to look at trucks ....i won a M1008 from GL.![[thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbzup]")
Its a 1984 M1008 with 89k on the clock. Looked like it was running from the Bordentown NJ pics. It had mud flung all over it in the GL pictures , so I assumed it was a runner. My current 86 Chevy K20 plow truck is finally beat after last winter, so I justified it that way with the wife.
My EUC cleared in 10 days and I set up a appointment with Chris. He was late so I had to go inside the guard post and talk with the Sargent Major. There shop is outstanding!! I want to join just so I can work in it!
Finally Chris shows up and we go to the truck and look it over. 2 new 6tl batterys. new looking fuel filter, new air filter, new belts., recent coolant service. Chris says he thinks this was the truck that they used to pull out other trucks when it gets muddy. It looks like it , there is mud eveywhere underneath. After a little glow plug card issue, it started up after the third try. I hop in and put it in gear and drive it to the trailer. Its in 4 low and the hubs are locked. Load up with not much trouble and take a little walk around.
If you go there ,watch out for the hornet's nest and thissle.
