cover is vinyl , the M880 series set up is very simular.
the going price for seats & bows will vary depending on condition
shipping can get pricey to
a cargo cover, you should be able to get for under $150

About this time last year I bought two 08's at a local county auction.One still had the troop seat and the canopy bow's.The canvas was missing and the wood was badly rotted so basically all it was,was the frames and bracketry.I got $150 for those parts.

I personally wouldnt even consider anything less than $200.

First thing I did with my M1008 from VA was drive to the dump and tossed it all on the metal/scrap pile. Except for looks not very practical. Try driving at speed with the tarp on, like having a sail raised. I have another set as well ready for the dump that I just got from FT. Drum, I doubt shipping these would be practical.

Thanks for all the advice and info....I appreciate it.

I also should have been more clear in my original post - the reason I am looking for a fair market value price is that I want to sell the set-up from the M1008 I just bought, to offset some of the parts repair costs I am finding elsewhere on the truck. I just want to make sure what I ask is a fair and reasonable price.

I'll post this in the "for sale " section , in case anyone in the southern New Hampshire area is looking for items such as these.
