    24 V CUCV motor in a civi truck

    I stand corrected. I was looking over that post about Rickyoday's Suburban CUCV clone. So I guess they did exist although may not have been made as much as the other trucks or it may have been something the military converted after they purchased a regular suburban.

    24 V CUCV motor in a civi truck

    24 V CUCV motor in a civi truck

    Ok as many know already I am in the process of sourcing a Chevrolet 3/4 ton Suburban and converting it into a "M1007 CUCV". I want to use the current 12v motor out of the Suburban and drop it into a FJ60 Land Cruiser. Now that leaves the Suburban without a motor. Since I need a parts CUCV...
