I was there when our first M-10XX trucks came in to replace the Dodge M8XX series and I don't think they looked that good back then.

Great Job!

Is the die available in the brown color?

Not as good a the real CARC but a good sub.

Interior is also the 383 green.

Nice job.

Do you do restorations for a living? I thought you said this was the third one that you had done.

 

[greg6459]

Very nice!

Resto

Yes, this is my 3rd M1008 in the last year. I have been doing muscle car restorations for about 25 years on the side. I had one sell last year on BJ, but have gone away form the old cars for now. The Army trucks are more fun! It's just a long time hobby that I have fun with.

Well I envy you. I have both a classic Mustang and my 1009 that I would love to restore. But I have neither the time, tools, or talents to do so; not to mention the shortage of funds.

Are you selling this truck?

 

[HoookerDub01]

that is a very nice truck. I wish our military work truck looked like. Did you rebuild the engine too?

 

[McCluskey]

I just found this truck on eBay motors..... so tempted......

 

[bkwudzhom]

I think it looks terrible. You should be ashamed to drive it in public. I will be a good friend and drive it for you. Try again. Mabey you'll do better next time.

To show how much I beleive in you I'll let you practice on mine next!!

All joking aside--it does look awesome. I couldnt own one like it though. It's waaaaay more fun taking it and using it for what it was intended. I use (not abuse) mine as a farm/work/hunting truck.

How long does it take you from start to finish??

 

[82ABNMP]

Thanks!

No the enging is not rebuilt it's in very good shape, so no need.

It takes me about 3-4 months start to finish.
