My M1008's fuse block seems to be shot. Fuses are loose, lights work on and off or not at all, and things look like they have been hot a few times behind the fuse panel. I have cleaned, lubed, and tightened connections, which have only proven to be a short lived repairs. I have searched this forum several times for help, and have decided my next step is to replace the fuse block.
From what I have gleaned from this forum, my options are as follows.
A) Bypass and eliminate the fuse block for only the problem fuses, by splicing in an inline fuse.
B) Used Fuse Panel: Will any fuse panel from that era GM pickup be a "drop-in" replacement, or are there differences between civilian/CUCV or gas/diesel?
C) Universal Fuse Block like one of these

I am leaning towards the new Universal 18 circuit fuse block, as it would probably make adding lights, radio, power port, etc. easier.
Any suggestions or anything I've missed?
