I just emailed Revell. I'll let you know what they say.

Thanks, I might give him a call. I canceled my order on the ebay item as it was much smaller than I was looking for. I'm hoping to find something in the 1/24 area. I saw that one as well and it's the closest thing I've found so far. With all the military models out there I'm surprised no...

Hmm....yea I see that now. That is tiny, maybe around HO scale size? Maybe I could try to find a regular Chevy pickup model and just get him the paint colors to make it more like the m1008.

Wow, that has some great detail, but the price goes with it! I found this on eBay, I'm going to give it a try. I'll pick up some paints for him at the local hobby store.

Gents- I just purchased an M1008 from a great guy out in MO and when I picked it up his 10 yo son was absolutely broken hearted, which broke my heart (I know how he feels). I wanted to get him a model of the truck either finished or something him and his dad could work on. Has anyone seen...

Thanks for the info. Did some maintenance to the truck last night, greased the front end, tightened alt belt, reoriented the front battery, topped off some fluids, checked the brakes, etc. While cleaning out the inside I found one of the shackles under the front seat, so now I only need one.

Maybe, but those are quite different than the new style.

The Grabbers are good, but not the greatest on slick roads. They bite well in the 2"+, more siping might help them. Why not go with the Cooper Discoverer M+S that I've seen on a lot of these trucks? They are a dedicated studable snow tire with lots of siping. I've not personally owned a set...

Yea, we stayed off the interstate and took the good old fashion highways and byways! US 40 mostly. I was going to do some homework about putting a tach in here, is a tiny tach our only option? I definitely need to decide which route I'm going to go to get the rpm's down, but I want to leave...

Is that a Tonawonda motor?

Thanks, it was interesting that's for sure. Took the truck and chain saw up to my buddies house and helped him cut up four downed tree's and get tarps on his roof. His house took a direct hit, good possibility it's a total loss. I need to find a set of shackles for the front, a rearview...

Made it home! Truck was even better than I expected. Almost 400 miles on the trip home at 50 mph. I'll post up some more pics later this week. If any of you were watching the weather saw that IL and IN got hit hard by these storms. We had a heck of a time getting home in it. We had a...

Agreed, any reputable shop would have caught this and informed you rather than just patch it and send it on it's way.

Great pics! I used to live in Cody and Wapiti years ago, desperately miss living out there!

I was throwing in extra fuel lines in my kit. What I had around the house is 3/8", 5/16" and 1/4". Do you know what size and approx length I should carry? Thanks Another question, I've read on here quite a bit that some people have trouble restarting these trucks for various reasons when...

Thanks, I hope so too. I just told my wife it's going to be a long slow drive home Sunday, she was a little un-impressed rofl

Thanks Astro [thumbzup] My wife and I are leaving the kids with the g'parents and plan on stopping at the Arch on our way through and spending the night here. It's about half way to the where the truck is from St. Louis. We'll grab dinner, spend the night there and pick up the truck Sunday...

Thanks Warthog, some good pointers! It looks like my local Napa has a Gold fuel filter in stock for it for $26. I need to stop in there for oil and filter for my wife's vehicle anyways so I'll grab one (and watch the video). On the speed, is it governed or just because of the 4.56's in it...

Gents, I posted a couple questions in the new members area, but got lost in the shuffle. I'm going to pick up a nice M1008 this weekend in the St. Louis area and I plan to drive it back to Indy with my wife following me in her SUV (I'm sure she'll enjoy driving 55 all day:whistle:) Looks like...

Just received the VIN # for the truck and it appears to be a 1987 rather than an 86. Even his insurance paperwork shows 87. Leaving Saturday to go pick her up.
