    why CUCV is better than a Deuce (just fun)

    1. It fits in the cookie-cutter house garage.

    CUCV w/window guards is now RED !

    The vehicle is ex-Border Patrol as shown in my avatar (so it wasn't green anyway). The guards are to protect agents from rocks thrown on the MX side. That stuff doesn't make the newspapers back East?

    CUCV w/window guards is now RED !

    My "thing" is to repurpose MVs (I think that's the modern, hip terminology) rather than restore them. I didn't want it either tan or green. Or Air Force blue. Or purple nor orange. Gray makes it look like its primered. Black too hot for AZ. White , well it was white w/ green stripe before...not...

    Sellable value for a M35A3

    I wish I had bought an A3 at $12 k, I would have been money ahead of where I am now restoring the A2. I do not fear the A3 auto trans : the A2 has never, ever failed to start so I don't even imagine having to push start a deuce.

    M101 Recovery in Anniston, AL. The worst trip ever.

    yea, now you have a story to tell. If all went well and someone asked :" How was your trip to get those trailers?" "Fine." you answer. So much for that conversation 8<)

    singled deuce tires: Goodyear or Michelin?

    I like the Michelins. Whats wierd is the truck steers easier with the bigger tires.

    Buying my first deuce... what color paint

    These vehicles don't have any resale value, so paint it any color you want. Seriously : you buy it, recover it, repair it, improve it and get laughed at when you try to recover that cost when selling it. I'm painting my CUCV red...and nobody but me has to like it 8<) Example : I have $13,000...
