Well it appears to be the last big ride for the ol girl, as Tuesday I will be heading about 215 miles to NJ to purchase(and tow home) another truck, an m1008 Chebby. Ive always wanted a military truck whether a m1009 Blazer, or m1008 k30. Ive had a few m880's and they were trashed. since the body is getting bad on the ol girl, im just gonna part her out(not yet, dont ask yet)


I have never owned a more reliable truck/engine. Moreso the engine. Only time it left me stranded was a broken steel fuel line that went to a remote filter mount, which was replaced with flex and no problems. No rear end problems, no tranny problems, no noises, a few mounts eng/tranny both, a water pump, and that about it. Runs like a champ, and i have no worries running her Tuesday. Its gonna suck going from a truck with some nuts, to one thats been de-nutted.

 

Are you being forced to do this ??

 

A chevy say it isn't so. I can't say, to much, I inherited a 94 G.M.C. suburban, a couple of weeks ago. It's four wheel drive, and fully loaded, and a really nice ride. The only real problem, is gas mileage, but I plan working on that issue next spring.The old 93 will still b e my main go geter this winter.

 

sounds like you are still trying to talk yourself into the deal, if ya gotta , ya gotta, btw, where in jersey ya pickin up the new ride?

 

Are you serious,, just take the m1008 Chebby and put the CTD in it.. trust me you will be very very happy you did that..

that way you get the best of both words that you love..

 

I agree with Bruiser, Build the ultimate m1008.

HMMM when your done with the build, what do you want for it?
lol Just Kidding.

 

A guy on here put a ctd in a m1008? the rears are strong enough and so is the th400. it cant be that hard! 6.2 chevy's are junk!

 

i still run alot of chevys with 6.2s and i agree slam in a cummins and be happy with it.

 

Why not just use your parts in one of those government surplus crew cab bodies?
