I have been researching the tallest tire you can run on a stock 16" wheel without a lift or trimming and all the results seem to be from 2-5 years ago. The results seem to be between a 31 and 35" tire. Any body got any updated info on this matter. I pick up my first cucv on saturday?

Can't you do 2lo with a 205 by not locking the hubs?

Yeah we are only about 20-30 miles. When I do get the truck, I will be paying you a visit for wheels and tires if that is your store in your signature

I am waiting on a few more pictures from the truck I was offered saturday. I spoke with him yesterday and I believe it is the one I am going to get. The "worth" part to me is is based more on it being mechanically sound and not rusted out. At the same time, I don't want to be taken for ride...

I had another truck offered to me yesterday. It has a straight body, good paint, no rust on the body, surface rust underneath, 205 TC and a lot miles. It has had some work done to it with all the paper work. I'm thinking this might be it

What seems to be the avg mileage life of the 6.2 before needing to be rebuilt or replaced?

My lack of experience with CUCVs is what makes me hesitant about not buying from the forum

She owns a working ranch too!!! The only mods I was going to do were the doghead relay, gp bypass. a small lift and wheels and tires. Maybe other essential mods people suggest. The mileage only concerns me because IF the 6.2s are not know for high mileage then I don't want to get one with a lot...

I know a lady with two M1028s for sale 1986 with 38,000 miles. No rust straight body, interior in great shape, new drive shaft, me harmonic balance and new fluids for $6k 1984 with 90k miles. Interior has a ripped seat ( not too bad), new drive shaft, new fluids. No rust straight body for $4k...

I appreciate that. It is actually a private party that has it. She got it off a base and did some work to it.

I am looking at buying a truck in San Antonio. If I do I would need it shipped here. Anyone making that run? If so shoot me quote please and the date you are making it. Thanks ted

Would it be better to go with a mainstream carrier? I have been given quotes from $750-$1550. It can't imagine I could make the drive for less.

Just checked them out. Have you used them before? Looks like it is pretty legit

I am looking at buying a M1028 in South Dakota and I live West of Atlanta, Ga. That is a long ride at 55mph. Looking for recommendations on companies to haul it for me. If anyone would like to throw out a rough estimate that is fine too. Thank you Ted

I decided to pass on the truck. I didn't want to deal with a possible added hassel. The search will continue Thanks for all ya'lls help

Thank you. I will send the one I am in contact with an email and ask how it was switched over. After being on here for the past month, the 24 volt system seems easy. Was the reason the military wanted 24v so they could run their equipment and tools? Patracy, we are just down the road from...

I have been looking for a M1028 and keep finding M1008 trucks that were I guess changed over to 12 volts by the fire departments that used them. They are usually in good shape at a fair price. My question is, is it possible (im sure it is) and economical to convert it back to 24v? Is it just...

I am new to the world of cucvs. I am looking for either a M1008 or M1028. I have found plenty of both in the same condition and within a few $100's of each other. I have been on this forum day and night for about a month now. I am pretty sure I am more confused than when I started lol. I...
