I'm thinking about getting another M886, Why? because it's there.
With 2, I could keep the current one original, and make an olive drab / camo camper special put of this one.
An extra leaf in the springs, all the way around and some Humvee tires? Anyone have a pic how a Humvee rim fits / works...

All of what you need can be gotten. Sure they may be some difficulty importing some things. but it can be gotten. Steering box look for used 78 & newer W100 / W150 / W250
should be the same.

Re: RE: Cheap M880 on Ebay!
:lol:

Anyway I just re-listed the...
Yep, It went pretty cheap, except for the fact that it was a deadbeat bidder :twisted:
Will be relisting it again today. Body is pretty rusted but engine & drivetrain are very good.
If it wasn't so cold here now I'd part it out and scrap the rest, would net about $1000 that way. :?
Re: RE: Doing Some Research...
Aerodynamics :lol:
Carryover design from way back. with the passenger seat that folds forward it makes for real easy movement to & from the rear compartment thru the passenger door.
Neat place to mount the spotlight :roll:
I put power steering on my M880, Used parts ( Junk Yard )
Note you must use one from a 2wd truck for a 76 or 77.

Definately rusty but trusty was my main hauler for a couple years, found a rust free M880
