July 10th-12th is the Green Mountain Military Vehicle Club's show in Waterbury VT. We have a great field, exit 10 off I89 on US-2. Here is a link for directions: https://www.google.com/maps/dir//44.357634,-72.795275/@44.357004,-72.794487,491m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m3!4m2!1m0!1m0?hl=en There are...

Welcome to Steel Soldiers, that is a CUCV, most likely an m1008, maybe an m1028.

Now I've got the Pioneer tool trailer body from an m116a1, on an m116a3 frame, with the axle from an m116a2 generator trailer.:-P

Looks like a good project!

That's not an m35 bed in the pics, it's a narrower bed from a deuce that had 11.00x20 singles.

That makes sense, my pickup truck has a hole drilled in the latch. I recently noticed a note in a 1980's PS magazine saying to run a chain from the hood latch down to the bumper to prevent theft of batteries.

Nice looking truck, congrats!

Built a holder for the spare tire on the m1028 using an extra troop seat leg and a homemade spinner setup from an m37 that came with a lot of CUCV parts I bought at a show. I cut the troop seat leg down and welded a right hand m37/m series lug nut to it.

When the change to lock the classifieds was first talked about I wasn't excited about it, but I didn't notice any difference in sales. If I need to add anything to my listings I use the edit function, if it's been too long to edit the original post I'll edit one of the past bumps. A lot of...

I believe it hauled a small generator at the back to power electric tools.

The extra bracing is welded on all the ones I've seen. Having the NOS fender with the spots marked does make it easier to line up where the trays go. The fit on the truck was excellent as well.

That is incorrect.

I never had a problem towing 3/4 ton trailers with my blazer. When the m1009 first came out it was rated for towing 3/4 ton trailers off road with a gross trailer weight of 3000 pounds. The trailer TM listed in Appendix A only listed the non surge brake 3/4 ton trailers as well. Later it was...

It's been awhile since this thread has been bumped... I picked up an m116a1 Pioneer tool trailer and an m116a3 genset trailer last week from SS members.

Here's a couple more shots of the CUCV II. In the second pic you can see it in front of the CUCV pickup. It's a gasser too!:o

I'll be there Friday and Saturday with my CUCV II.

The speed is so low because the military said so. The m101a2 is designed for the CUCV series trucks, which have a max speed of 55, which was also the national speed limit at the time. Highway speeds are no problem for an a2 or a3 trailer. I'd wager the 55 mph limit on some uhaul trailers...

I'm looking for a deuce battery box if anyone has one, a rusty metal one is ok if its not too far gone.

To help keep the thread moving I nominate my CUCV II.
