I was a little put back on Steve's comments on the MUTT. Perhaps he is best left for the editorial with his opinions. Other than that, I don't let what anyone says dictate what I'm buying. I'm quite happy making my own decisions.

Well, weight is a big concern with the 4BT vs the 6BT. There is a decent source of 4BTS with 400 turbos out there. Cost is also a big concern. I can get into the 4BT and tranny for under $1000. As bastardized as it might be, I would swap in the 4BT 400 combo as a unit and probably go with a 208...

Bjorn, I'm pretty sure Jeff wrote it that way on purpose. Look at it again and I think you'll see what he's trying to say.

No worries Jeff. I'm glad lots of folks stepped over to the CUCVs. I'm a die hard Cheverolet fan but the market keeps me from adding the M1010 to my fleet. Since I'm a tinkerer at heart, I'm sure I can buy the 886, repower it with the 4BT, add air to the cab and back and still be dollars ahead...

I've said this before among folks, I think the M880 is one of the best kept secrets of the MV world. Inexpensive to acquire, easy to maintain, can get parts anywhere and even a gorilla can fix them. While the mileage is a bit of a drawback compared to the M1009 Blazer, its a damn fine truck...

Considering a 4BT Cummins, add a roof air to the back and go camping.

Nice, I might need a few more pics if I buy one of these rides. One has no stuff in the back, the other has everything (I think) but the upper litters. Both have surgical lights I'm told. I've only seen the one. The surgical light and power vent work. Too cool.

Bob, do you have the upper litters in place on your M886? I might have secured an M886 for my collection but no upper litters. Like to get a looksee of what they look like in place.
