    CUCV Roadtrip Today

    To help everyone understand, John brought over some stuff from this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152226-Gas-motor-12-volt-amp-painless-wiring-harness&highlight=. As far as dependability, I think it is unfair to categorize all stock CUCVs are being undependable. Luck...

    CUCV Roadtrip Today

    I should have a couple of more. I'm disposing of a ton of stuff and one of my 3 CUCVs is already in place. One bedroom suite is going but that is all in the furniture Dept. I may need to o do a small uhaul van and that is it. Your road to the south was much more daunting.

    I'm back in the South again. My average moving speed for the 723 mile ride back to FL was 64.7 MPH. The trip south was largely uneventful. The truck ran magnificently. Little over 1500 miles with the trip up and back and running around in GA. Very pleased with the 4.10 gear change.

    CUCV Roadtrip Today

    CUCV Roadtrip Today

    Tires are stock size 235/85R16. Factory dually wheels with no spacers. When I put the Duratracs on the back, I may need 1/4 inch spacer as the side bars might touch. The rear is the narrow cab/chassis one. I should probably do a thread on some of the stuff I've done, it's quite unique but it's...

    The truck is heavy, around 9000#. When I put the cab and chassis rear in I installed an add a leaf as well. Even with the add a leaf, it rides better than an empty pickup. There are some stretches of concrete freeway that tax comfort. That fancy gauge is a used Garmin GPS I bought off eBay for...

    CUCV Roadtrip Today

    So today I took a little 726 mile ride in the "Bucket of Bolts" SECM with the trailer salad in tow. Transported personal items from S FL to my N GA retirement home. The SECM was converted from an M1008 and I don't know where to start on the trailer. Let's say it was purpose built from stuff...
