Yes those would be the M880 series seats, they are interchangeable with the CUCV's, although the CUCV's got aluminum slats instead of the wood. (if not when 1st produced, then somewhere down the line.)

Are you sure they're interchangeable with the CUCV? I know the M880 troop seats have one leg that is shorter to accomodate the gas filler neck hump, and I'd be surprised if they were located in the same place and same dimensions as on the M880.

Good observation!
I have seen several CUCV's with the M880 sets at Camp Grayling, the shorter leg still contacts the floor and supports weight, but is not correct.
While I haven't seen the CUCV set on a M880, this is nothing a sawzall wouldn't take care of :shock:

If anyone is intrested, I have a set of these for sale.... Appear brand new, other than paint weathering.
Mine need rebuilding, I may be interested in everything except the big heavy steel side bars.

I looked at the ones pictured today and they appear to have three shorter legs which I assume are for around the wheel well intruding into the bed.
