    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    Looks good! I know we all would like to find a deal like that. One thing I have noticed with GSA auction sales is that they now hide the detractors from the photo's. They used to be more up front, but the photo's were never good. At least that is my experience lately. Anybody else notice this...

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    I hope they didn't hack the dash on you or cut holes in the doors for speakers. I hate it when that happens. I still have one of the 1st ones I bought where someone tried to sound proof the interior and I never took the stereo out because It would have a hole I couldn't cover. My son drives it...

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    Nova, I've driven a CUCV for so long that if I drive something else, I still don't turn on the radio, and I don't miss it, but that is just me.

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    I'll also add that I try to buy airforce trucks whenever possible. They are much better taken care of. The cabs aren't sat on, hoods not broke in the middle. The have a different shade of OD. Every one I've had was runway clean underneath too. Marine corps next, less abuse, good cabs. Army are...

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    I believe in the original CUCV, no mods. When people remove the bumper guard (yeah it's heavy)or drive around without the shackles they loose that military look which is so important. I have considered a few mods to enhance performance, but they can't be visible such as an overdrive trans or...

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    I have an original M1028 with 16k on it I will be selling soon. It does have aftermarket wheels because the Park service I got it from used it offroad. When I buy one of these the seat is one of the best indicators if not the best of how many miles that are on it. They don't make that vinyl any...

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    I have heard about Detroit Diesel designing the 6.2. It was part of the GM family, but I don't find myself easily convinced when GM is involved. Do you think they would scam you for a buck? NO not GM! My Dad bought a 1984 Cadillac new with the newly designed 350 Diesel, totally reworked they...

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    Welpro... total agreement here. Someone earlier said it is basically a detroit diesel. That is misleading as the 6.2 is nothing like a Detroit Diesel. Any potential CUCV owners should forget they ever read that.

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    That also may have something to do with the puzzled looks if anyone thinks that there still is a 5.7 diesel still running under the hood.

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    One thing to remember was that GM diesels had a horrible reputation back then even though this one wasn't related to the olds conversion that didn't work.

    Why are CUCV prices so much higher that Civi Chevs

    I belong to the military vehicles collectors club of oregon, MVCCO, and I would say most of the club members don't know what a CUCV is. I don't attend many functions, but looking at the attendees and their vehicles, I have yet to see one in attendance in the newsletter. I took a M1009 to a...
