    Yeah planning on it! You know the Government price would not be $40, the discount rate would be more like $400 at least probably closer to $4,000.

    PAO= Public Affairs Office The military sometime does unusual things that break from the norm if they can put a positive public affairs spin on it. Probably not going to happen in this case, just something I mentioned. -Dale

    Graveyard CUCV's brought back

    Getting it back would be fairly easy. It all has data plates still so it would be as simple as talking to the right people and adding it to the manifest. Now being ethical or legal is another matter, he definitely would not have a SF-97. Say his unit wanted to do a FOI (found on...

    No clue, I figured I could always use it on my CUCV if it did not. I bought the cheapest working unit I could find. The 3/4" ones go for $200ish

    Graveyard CUCV's brought back

    That is a mystery. HMMWV tires/wheels will fit on a M1008, 1028, 1031. Not sure about the spacer. I'm guessing he either ordered them and had them sent over by mail or he had something fabricated here. While the later is not likely it may be possible since this is a larger base we are...

    Graveyard CUCV's brought back

    I'm guessing the fellow who recovered them added all the HMMWV tires. Those can be found anywhere out here, while the standard CUCV tires well not so much. Looks like a no lift and made fender trim on the quarter panels -Dale

    Thanks Amram, I have been wanting one for years now and the opportunity and funds finally lined up. Before it was always lots of trucks but no funds to buy, for the past 6 months I have had some funds but was beginning to think I would not find the truck on my limited budget. It finally...
