I ran across this article a few weeks ago where the guy talks about trucks being in underground storage and how he came to own his CUCV. I wasn't aware the military does this.

I agree 100%. Low mileage trucks are still out there. Some of the crowd always says its 100,000 plus or the odometer has been changed yada yada yada. I know that happens, But I picked up a 86 M1028 last year from GL with 2600 miles. Yes I realize it is not a new truck. I didn't pay new truck price.I got a M1028A2 that currently has a little over 16k miles. And TRUST ME, it drives like it.
Granted it's 25+ years old as well, but it was well cared for and rarely driven, because you just can't get a 'new truck ride' out of a 100k truck WITHOUT a complete rebuild, which the military rarely did, and NEVER that I've heard of on any CUCV's.
Hey FMJ,Don't worry, it will soon be defaulted on. . .

What about the sticker proudly posted on the truck that states "THIS VEHICLE IS NOT PROCESSED FOR STORAGE".This is what I was going to post as an example as well. I have seen this M1009 and it is still in excellent condition.
