Long story, short. I'm not in the market for a CUCV anymore guys, at least for a few months. Buyer for my truck wanted me to sell it for too cheap, don't need to sell it. I just wanted to keep from putting too many miles on it going back and forth to school. I guess I just have to rough it...

There is one type of paint that is made for vinyl, I've never used it myself but read an article about it years ago in "Sign of the Times"(trade magazine for sign making). Createx makes it, Createx makes paint specifically for airbrushing. Bearairexpress.com or coastairbrush.com might...

A spray gun is your best bet, you can get by using a cheap spray gun they spray just as well as a qaulity one, the main difference is you can't rebuild a cheap one, or better put it's not worth rebuilding. I've been using a cheap ATD for almost ten years, I even used it on a professional level...

As other stated before new metal is the best option, be prepared to cut out more metal than the rust hole esp if you are going to weld it, probably have to cut it out about an inch around the rust hole. But there are other options nowdays instead of welding, about the last ten years body shops...

I talked to the owner tonight and he emailed me pics, the truck was from AZ so it has minimal rust. The cab corners are starting to rot out and some rust bubbleing on the bottoms of the doors, but the truck is very solid. It's not nearly as bad as most of the old Chevs in this area, I'm not too...

I made an intro post in the new members section, but I'll probably be mainly posting in the CUCV forum so I thought I would re-introduce myself here and give you a little back story before I ask some questions. In about a month I'm going to have to start making a 120 mile commute during the...

Howdy all, I've been lurking here for a few years and just joined a few weeks ago, I've always wanted to either own a Duece, M715 or a CUCV. But it's always just been more of a dream, the last few years it just wasn't practical for me. But I've had a few changes in my life that are about to...
