Also if the costs was high for that addtional tank it make the truck with the new drivetrain to a comfortable full daily...
Unfortunately was the truck painted in 1999 in red color for our metal business... we missed in 1999 to take care of possible traces of markings under the old paint :mad: and for our rebuild the bumpers are sandblasted and primered now.
Usually there are always things you miss. We also removed...

As we dont know where the truck was formerly stationed in germany is it principally no...
Is here any veteran who serve army in Germany or know anything about this issue in the late 80s and can give infos about the markings on CUCV used in Germany? I got our Truck with overpainted delinators, markings, blacklights from the army-dealer, this was in the 90th usual if you want "import"...

Both Tanks on their place, the easiest job in the tankissue.
another job this weekend as we need a safe transportation for the old engine:
build from scrap iron --- saved me 100 Dollar 🥳 🍻 for more spareparts on the truck
Working on brake lines: Chevrolet is worse than ikeabana = swedish furniture plug art.... good that everything has truck dimensions, because the fumbling is still manageable. My wife has used the time and prepared the tanks for painting
the aftermarket Tankholder is maybe something what...
We changed first time after 125000 Miles but was driven only roads no offroad, no lift and no other extras. But the steering and driving behaviour was at the point of storage bad. So we had done this better some "Miles" before. The result is he got now all bushing, bearings, nuts and bolts...
