We'll be looking for a video of the first run, or at least a pic of it going down the road under its own power! I'm glad you're gettin 'er done! Keep us posted
15-18 on the backroads. I haven't driven it enough on the highways to see how it's going to do at 65-70 mph but I won't complain either way, I love driving it !
I experimented a little bit on the hood today with the camo pattern I downloaded. I'm happy with the colors now, so I'll probably start rolling the rest in a few weeks if the weather is like today was here (70 degrees and sunny!)[thumbzup]
The crisp lines from rolling/brushing take a little...
Today I cleaned/checked more underhood wiring, replaced fuse on wipers (found a crusty wire that caused the fuse to blow), experimented with more paint. :grd:
Congrats on the score! Thanks for sharing your story too. Yep, it looks like the CUCV was intended to be yours. God does work things out for us all. I also am sorry to hear of your loss. Keep us posted here on your project with pics!

Cool ! Keep driving on, it'll be ready to cruise before ya know it! Seems like a lot has been accomplished over the past couple months.........[thumbzup] :popcorn:
O.D.Fever offers good advise. If you kick the bushes enough, a good runner will show up that is at least complete, so you will have all the parts to make one out of the two. Not knowing the condition of all the parts you have there, and not knowing for sure what may be missing it would be very...
Ditto on Stonepicker1's question........that price each or for both? Also is there a certain time they MUST be out of Shelby? If you haven't gotten them out in two weeks I may be able to help get them closer to you, if not all the way.
Welcome from Mississippi! I've been out of the Army for 20+ years now and stay in contact with only two that I served with. Time flies by. I hope you can locate some of the Soldiers you served with.
On another note, as G I Joe asked, what DO you drive now? Got an MV? In the market for one...
Good looking truck you got there! The interior looks showroom/civvy fresh :drool:! There are several threads on lifting CUCV's on here, check them out and decide what you want to do. Keep us posted on pics of the build/lift too. Oh, and welcome from Mississippi!

It sure would make a neat little camper, and fix up the outside all Military! If possible, offer them scrap price for it. Who knows, you might have just found a diamond in the rough for cheap (depending on the condition of everything the pic doesn't show). If you can, we'd like to see pics of...
:ditto::ditto:, and download the TM's in the Resources section at the top of the page. Now would be the time to study up on them and that will help you a LOT when you go to look at the CUCV's. The TM's as well as the experience of others here on SS will give you all the answers and what to look...
I'd love to have one myself it would come in handy but I don't have a lot of knowledge of 936's so I wouldn't know what to look for. I have noticed there are a lot more parts than just a regular cargo truck so like gimpyrobb says there's a lot that could be wrong and not noticed by the untrained...
Welcome and congrats on the M1009! Do a search of the forums and you'll find many lists of what you need to bring with you on your recovery trip. If I'm not working when you head this way pm me and I'll be glad to help any way I can. I live about an hour and a half north of Camp Shelby. Is that...
