SuBZERO13 from France with Chevy M1008

[SuBZero13]

Hi there,

My name is Stephane and I am French.
I live in the South East of France not far from Marseille.

For 8 days I have owned a 1986 Chevrolet K30 M1008.

There is a lot of work on it, electrics, tires, bodywork and also the interior.

Welcome to the Outfit!

Nice Truck! I think you will get some real enjoyment out of it.

Eight days.

Time will fly as you do projects for and with that truck. In no time at all, you will have been with it for years. Shoot a few more picture of the inside of the cab and engine bay. You will surprise yourself how it changes over time...

Again, welcome to the group!

Hello Stephane!
I'm originally from France as well and if your Chevy may look like another pickup truck for US residents, it must look totally mean and badass on French roads (in the middle of Renault Kangoo's and Citroen micro utility vehicles )
Enjoy your tuck !

Hi there,

Some news from my M1008, part of the electricity does not work and as it has been stopped for 5 years, I ordered a new wiring.



So, first of all, redo the electricity...

While waiting to receive my order ( SUMMIT RACING => France) I will also adjust the direction because there is a lot of play and at more than 30 MpH it's complicated to stay in a straight line lol

See you soon to follow the work

Hi there

I am looking to buy a lift kit for my M1008, 2 or 3 inches maximum, the problem is that in France or even in Europe there is none and to import it from the USA the shipping costs are high.. .
Do you know a solution to my problem?
I have already ordered things from Summit Racing, but they were light and therefore the costs were not too high...

But there for an order of 1500$ the shipping costs are almost 3000$ .... Help !!!
