WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

[M813rc]

Hopefully it won't be 111* in the morning when we go back!

Cheers

I like her! She needs a deep clean, some paint and some shock absorbers, but is otherwise tight as a drum!

Nice truck!Let the fun(work) begin!

Glad you got what you wanted Sam.

Mine was the same way when i got it. A contact maintence truck conversion. I installed a bed back on it. You can't haul anything with a 1031 bed. Mine is a A1 and i'm glad i have the NP205. Although it's my problem child, out of my
MV's it's one of my favorites.

Anyone interested might try Atl. craigslist and search D30

 

[Pawnshop]

Mine turns out to NOT have had a M1031 bed, it was a civvie tool box bed.

I drove her around a bit today and I love her already, although she has the dreaded "Death Wobble"! I got the tires balanced (that helped) and have new shocks and a steering damper on order, that should cure it, the truck is smooth and tight with no rattles on the bumps so the front end should not need a rebuild.

Try Government Surplus Auctions - GovDeals.com as well. Type "military" in the search engine and you can see 1028's and 1009's quite often. These are the ones that local government entities sell after using. There are sometimes Hummers on there as well. You can also search on Auction Zip - Live Auction Locator - Find Auctions Anywhere! by zip code. Look for them under several different names; Blazer, military Blazer, CUCV, M1009, etc.

I also know where about 20 or so m1028's and 1009's are for sale right now. That's my secret but I will give it out for the right $$$

For the right price?

Cool, I'm going to remember that, and post a link to this thread every single time you ask a question, or ask for help in the future.

You could be broken down on the side of the road, and I'm going to remind the person coming to get you that they need to charge you.

I'm going to check your posting history every morning when I log into this site, and I promise you that you'll regret being such a selfish punk.

It was nice when we showed up this morning and Mark had already done all the tires, etc. Very decent, sir! All we had to do was chat for a bit, and drive the vehicles back to Sam's place.

The boy was grinning when he got in the 1028, grinning the whole trip home (I was following in his 1009 and could see teeth reflected in the side mirror ), grinning as he drove me back to the house, and still grinning as he disappeared into the distance. Good to see a buddy happy!

Cheers

 

[markg]

thanks guys , good to see you both. good luck with the new ride sam!! let me know how you decide to handle the plates. thanks. see you later. mark

i guess its time to find a new picture!

 

[Pawnshop]

I got the tires balanced and that killed the wobble, I drove 25 miles today and it did not happen once. I am still going to replace the shocks and steering dampener, just because

 

[Pawnshop]

I painted her, bought new tires and cleaned up the cab, she is pretty much ready for parade duty! Now I need troop seats...

 

[mkcoen]

Looks nice! You going to put the Desert Storm markings on it? You need a similarly painted M1010 to go with it.

 

[islandguydon]

Pawnshop, You have a sweet ride, something to be proud of. IMHO

 

[AceHigh]

Man, that thing looks brand new! Great job.

Yes, I am going to repaint the inverted V that was in it and make up some bumper numbers. I need to paint the tail gate and find some troop seats, install new batteries and a starter and it's done.

Thanks for the complements! I really like this truck.

CUCV's

I'm glad I bought mine 3 yars back when there were a lot going up for sale. Picked up 3 M100s's and 2 M1009's at Fort Meade MD. Still have my M1008, low miles , great truck. I wish I had not sold the others so cheep now. But when you need the cash you have to cut a deal.
