    Three pickups compared: M37, M1008, M880

    M1008 first choice M37 because they are a nice vintage truck. M880 no power steering, lousy milage, never like it when I was in.

    trip to Quantico Va

    Thanks for sharing. Last month traveling north on 95 as we passed Quantico my wife said It would be nice to stop there on one of our trips. Next month we are heading south again, with a stop in Hampton, then further south, may be if the timing is right we can stop.
