    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    Yes, I am going to repaint the inverted V that was in it and make up some bumper numbers. I need to paint the tail gate and find some troop seats, install new batteries and a starter and it's done. Thanks for the complements! I really like this truck.

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    I painted her, bought new tires and cleaned up the cab, she is pretty much ready for parade duty! Now I need troop seats...

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    I got the tires balanced and that killed the wobble, I drove 25 miles today and it did not happen once. I am still going to replace the shocks and steering dampener, just because

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    Mine turns out to NOT have had a M1031 bed, it was a civvie tool box bed. I drove her around a bit today and I love her already, although she has the dreaded "Death Wobble"! I got the tires balanced (that helped) and have new shocks and a steering damper on order, that should cure it, the truck...

    I like her! She needs a deep clean, some paint and some shock absorbers, but is otherwise tight as a drum!

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    BTW: I did find one to buy! I am going to buy the one in markg's avatar, I will be picking her up in the morning, I will post some pix soon. It is a M1028 that had a 1031 box put on the back by someone (Army I guess), NP208 t-case (NO PTO option) that did at least some time on Ft. Hood (brake...

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    I think that may have something to do with availability post-military, I did find a couple for sale with NO axles:shock:, however all the cool kids are running other axles these days, only the old timers are using Dana 60s any more (according to friends, I don't know myself...)

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    I think "all fluids drained" scared off potential bidders.

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    Did you get the 1028 that closed a couple of weeks ago? If I had sold my Deuce at that point I would have wrassled you for it:) My spy tells me that one is very nice and well worth what you paid. Mr. Holcolmb (the GL man) is a very nice guy and very helpful. Be SURE you have the REGISTRATION...

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    I have heard tales of a whole secured yard full of them at Ft.Hood just sitting there, but that does me no good if they don't sell them...

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    There are six on eBay right now: two very nice ones out of my price range, one modified, one "ran when parked", one with a poss blown motor and one nice but incomplete... Slim Pickens! I really don't want to have to ship one but I may just have to. Are you going to have a hurricane sale Mr...

    WHERE have all the M1008/M1028 gone?

    So I sold my M35A2 to buy a M1028, should be easy, right? I have been looking all over and found almost NO M1028/M1008 for sale! I am in Central Texas so a close one would be sweet, but when I stretch the search out nationwide I only find a few, and when the modified trucks (12v, swamp buggy...
