I'm just quoting the book. I don't own one and haven't priced one. As most people know something is worth what one person is willing to ask and another is willing to give. That being said, people have to have a basis to start wondering vs "it's $250,000."

According to David Doyle's U.S. Military Vehicles Field Guide - WWII to Present a 977 basket case is valued at $3k (#6 condition), a very good, complete driver is $27k (#3 condition), and a perfect condition vehicle $65k (#1). He has the 978 and 984 listed at the same values. Of course one of...

My thoughts exactly!

I've seen those advertised before but don't remember where. Any place local to get them or mail order only?

Talk about getting started fast. You must have been up to midnight working on that thing after leaving here. Good luck with it. I think the most daunting aspect is going to be getting the bracket on and lined up correctly. Doing any work to the bracket at all will improve the jr high school...

Two of my former 1009s are already posted here so I won't post the 3rd one. Here's my M1010 as it sat at Minot AFB. I've got my fingers crossed it'll be here next week. It will be converted back to the 3 color camo once the weather improves a bit. Other than figuring out how to add a pintle...

You can follow Gary's link or look in the upper left of the SS site screen where the ads scroll over things for sale there.

Thanks for info guys. Rob and I have already worked on getting it to me. I'll let everyone know how well it works.

If it turns out anyone is parting I need the starter relay for a MEP003A. It's just an 8 pin plug behind the instrument panel.

I hear they call it "winter" but I haven't seen much of that down here. Maybe it'll still be there once the trucks are dropped off.

I'm not sure what route he'll be taking but I'll check. Only thing I really know about it is that it LOOKs to be all there. It was advertised as "doesn't start" but with GL that usually just means they didn't try anything other than turning the key on. It should make it's debut at the Alamo...

Okay, a couple of states closer now. Vehicles are in Iowa and will be staged there until after Christmas. The 1009 on the truck is TexAndy's and the 1010 on the trailer is, of course, mine. It really stinks waiting for Christmas when it comes a week late this year.

We had the same problem with a truck I helped Green_Gator pick at in San Antonio. If the batts are dead enough they don't retain enough amperage for the lights to work even with the truck running. Swap in a couple of WallyWorld specials and you'll probably be good to go.

I don't know about any of the measurements as I haven't gotten my vehicle yet. Is the plate that goes across the back of the 1010 strong enough to mount the pintle to? Maybe sister a heavier plate across the back mounted to the frame?

Okay, 40 days post win and my 1010 just pulled off Minot AF Base headed south. Too many ridiculous goings on but here's hoping (knock on wood) I've seen the last. I would imagine with Christmas at the end of the week the shipper won't be here until Monday at the earliest but I will have detailed...

Take the time to go through the CUCV TM and follow the maintenance checks. I would also check the starter bolts to make sure they are torqued correctly. After having to spend hours trying to get a drill into one and then use an easy-out you'd regret not checking them now. Then enjoy. These...

Has anyone tried this mod? The reason I'm asking is that I'd like to have a pintle hitch to tow my M101A1 and figured this would be the easiest route. Any issues other than the steps (which with a "step" bumper I could live without)?

The RT524 would be the "correct" radio for the CUCV and if you're only using it for display purposes you could probably find a non-working one for sale by doing a "google" search or similar. A lot of guys like getting working ones so they can have the authentic look but still communicate if...

If you plan to show the vehicle in military attire I would recommend a RT524 base (ebay for about $50 used, $200 NIB) then get the vehicle base for a PRC77 that slides into it, then the PRC77. Should be cheaper than a full RT524 set up and you can still pull the PRC77 out and use it for a...

I was in from '82-'92 (active and Guard) and never saw a CUCV. I heard someone mention one once or twice but really didn't have much interest in what it was. We had Mutts when I was at Ft Polk and HMMWVs when I was at Ft Lewis and the WA Guard. If there was a 1008 or 1009 in the motorpool I...
