This is a Military issue 1985 Chevrolet M1008 1 1/4 ton pickup. Desert storm area GI vehicle. Features of these Heavy Duty Military builds: * 6.2 (378 cu in) naturally aspirated diesel engine. (same as the early Hummers) * 24 volt system---two batteries---dual generators (all the lights, turn signals, heater blower motor, horn, wipers etc. "do work" and on 12 volts.) The 24 volt system is to insure strong cranking. * The front diff is a Dana 60 with manual locking hubs and the rear is the big 14 bolt Corporate limited slip. * HD diesel prepped TH400 tranny. * Certified rust proofed body - GI requirement. (see tag on inside drivers door) * HD air cleaner. Paper with foam overlay air filters. I have driven this quite a bit since buying it and it starts easy and runs great. I believe that all the lights, horn, wipers, heater, speedometer and odometer still work. It has strong power brakes and smooth power steering. I shifts firm like it is supposed to. It does not shimmy or wonder on the road. Government rigs are generally well maintained and with only 031,348 miles showing on the odometer there probably isn't much wear on the suspension parts etc. The motor runs strong with no abnormal sounds or smoking. I can park it on my drive way with no fear of oil or anti freeze leakage. I'm not saying that you can white glove the underside but for instance I took it for a drive this afternoon, brought it home and parked it. Six hours later there wasn't a drop of anything on my concrete driveway where I parked it. All the glass is good, the doors lock and the tires are a good set of 285/75/16s with about half wear left. I had the seat rebuilt and recovered with a nice earth toned quality fabric. The original was old hot sticky vinyl and was cracked pretty bad. This truck is ready to use. It makes a good 2nd truck and really gets attention at the little local car shows. It very practical, tough, gets good mpg and can't be disabled by electro magnetic fields.( as per bug out truck) Best thing is there is no convenience gadgetry, air bag service lights, VSC, TPM, O2s, MAS, MAF, knock sensors, abs, etc. etc. etc. to be replaced and repaired constantly draining your wallet. Please ask any questions and I will do my best to answer back quickly. I am going to try to put a You tube video together before the auction is over so you can take a virtual ride in the truck and hear it running shifting etc. As far as payment goes, I will do cash in person if meeting in the lobby of my bank, personal check once cleared, cashiers check once cleared or total amount through Pay Pal if you pay the fee that Pay Pal charges for the transaction. Scammers just as well not bother, ( I've heard it all). I do not get involved in shipping but will do what I can to help you get it picked up. If you want to drive or fly in I do have a place you can stay the night before going back and I can pick you up at the airport. I might consider bringing it as far as Boise or Salt Lake for the cost of the fuel because I have business there almost every week.
