Hey Matt, I'll be in Fort Collins in about a month. Driving up from Vegas and visiting friends, then on over to Indiana on a relocation. Glad to hear the weather is warmer, but being Colorado, that could change. I did some schooling at Lowry AFB back in the 80's and it snowed in June!

Ron, The data plate looks suspect. The first red flag to me was the unmatched screws. Original plates are riveted in. Then l noticed that the numbers looked engraved, not stamped. When l restored my MB, l couldn't find anyone to stamp info on my new data plate so l went to Sears and had them...

l bought some tow shackle mounts off Ebay and need to know how they mount to the frame. Also, l'm assuming the longer ones go on the front? Thanks Jeff

lf l only had the cash :( Cool lookin rig! Too bad the interior isn't correct http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet-Suburban-CUCV-M1009-look-a-like-1989-4x4-Suburban-2500_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6155QQitemZ4608838280QQrdZ1

Chris, Your old site! http://web.archive.org/web/20000521084644/http://msnhomepages.talkcity.com/RallyRd/hillbilly75/cucvpage.html

Yes, l know the feeling :( Had to sell my 1944 MB and my M1009 to move to Vegas. Hey Chris, l remember your old site! Had it bookmarked, along with Andy Michalski's site. l give you a year or two before you get another, or you convert a burb for the ultimate CUCV experience! Jeff

Follow the link and go to the last post on the page for a great pic of another Suburban conversion. lt is exactly what l intend to do :D http://psforums.station.sony.com/ps/board/message?board.id=psnews&message.id=85&page=2

Haven't found anything on the net yet, even on google :? Blazer

Convvert a mid 80's diesel burb to a CUCV, similar to Jim Newton's. Want to make the interior as correct as l can.

l didn't know that! The M1009 seat assembly seems pretty simple. Do you think they would fit with a little drilling of some new holes? Jeff

One thing l rarely see mentioned in restorations of post Vietnam vehicles, especially with the M1009 is stenciling the drivers name and rank on the bottom of the drivers side windshield and if its a command vehicle, the company commander/1st Sgt's names on the passenger side. Now l don't know...

l am a few months away from starting my suburban conversion and was wondering how much brush guards/bumpers are going for these days? l'm surprised how rare they are! Jeff

Thanks Mike!

Does anyone know if Blazer seats will fit a Suburban? Thanks! Jeff

Brand new, never issued! http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=217673

Hey all! Name is Jeff and just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I spent several years in the Army (SOCOM Ft Bragg) during the 80's where I fell in love with the CUCV. I never tired of driving them! The jeep may have been the workhorse of the Army, but the CUCV was the stallion. I...
