    I pulled out the rubber floor mat and then cleaned up the floor. I found lots of sunflower seeds and a few spent 5.56 cases. What is the square metal plate on the floor of the passenger's side?

    I'm going to pick it up tomorrow about 3 hours from home and I have to be 100% sure it starts the next morning. We are expecting temps in the single digits over the next few days. Are there any precautions I should take?

    I just closed the deal tonight on a 1986 M1008. I had a good friend drive over and check it out for me. He said it's the nicest CUCV he's ever seen. Going to go get it Tuesday or Wednesday. It has just under 50,000 miles, new alternators, master cylinder and brake booster, and NO RUST.
