    M1008 Cargo Cover install

    The bottom of the cover used to be secured by these little twist toggles, you can find the original parts but they are pricey, I decided on 3/16" eye bolts, pre tightened w/ lock washer, then give them a final 1/4 turn to lock in the cover

    M1008 Cargo Cover install

    Not 100% finished but close, I still need some adjustments but its pretty close. I ordered the cover from Saturn Surplus, used scrap angle iron, 3/16" eye bolts (substitute for the old twist toggle), and electrical conduit for the bows. -Dale

    Need something moved? I'm moving from WA to GA then in a few months on up to NC

    Hey Pat, I could do that. Not looking to profit per say, a bit to help with fuel cost so I can at least match whatever quote you have, probably better. -Dale

    Yes Brad is still in business, he is slowly clearing stuff out so may want to get up here sooner rather than later. I don't think he is "going out of business" but he may be limited to what he can keep indoors. -Dale
