So I don't have the tahoe home yet as promised but it'll be home by early next week. I've been thinking of swapping it for a really clean 85' or 86 m1009 + some cash. Since it'll be a 2nd vehicle and I was thinking of turning the 2 door into like a show/play car but unless imaginary loads of money fall in my lap thats not gonna happen (pipe dream). I think a M1009 in really good shape is more like it, that way I can make it my official recreational vehicle and keep the silverado in perfect shape. Whats yall's input?!

Heres a video of a m1009 thats for sale on ebay.

I'm a BIG fan of the CUCV. I desperately want one, but they are money pits. I don't know how much work you do on your vehicles, but all the guys I talk to with 1008/1009s either are passable mechanics in their own right, or they have money to blow. At least it's not a deuce and a half, though. Those can eat you alive.

One day, I will have one...

Yep right their with you. Thats what I pondered the question, I wonder if I can find one thats clean as shit and they'll take a trade or one thats nearly perfect and they'll take a trade + cash. This would not happen without trading my hoe.

If you don't mind putting some elbow grease into it, you might want to sell the Hoe outright and then bid on one. Look at govliquidation.com and find one somewhat near you.

Really?

What does it have that a Tahoe doesnt? A 10 bolt front w/ 3.08 gears and a weak deisel that gets a few more mpg. Its still more or less a half ton, so you'd be buying a K5 Blazer with a military paint job

The M1008 trucks got the good axles, front 60 and rear 14 bolt w/locker

Just my opinion but if I were trading they would giving me alot of cash to go with it
