So I looked at an '84 M1008 this weekend. It was a pretty nice rig. Had 48,000 miles on the odo. It started and ran very well (was about 40 degrees outside). The truck appeared completely original except a set of 34" super swamped tires on some 8" steel spoked wheels (very very noisy on the test drive). It had some minor surface rust and dents here and there, but for an '84, I was rather impressed with its condition overall.
The guy is selling after only about a month of owning it which is kind of odd, but I couldn't find any red flags while inspecting and driving the truck. He claims he paid $4500.00 for the truck, and is willing to sell it for a $200 loss. So my question at this point is...is $4300.00 a fair price? Don't see many rigs in Wisconsin without serious rust.
Also, the tires on the truck are cool, but I would definatly get a set of all terrain style tires for it to use on the road. I would like to find a set of the factory steel wheels that came on the M1008's. Are these wheels plentiful, and what would a good set run?
thank you.
