CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

I guess I should have clarified that the one I purchased was not the original rather a suitable replacement. It works perfect.

In the CUCV II Facebook group, Nico uploaded the 6.5T (diesel) wiring diagram for a CUCV II (source: Warthog). I edited it to show how both of my 5.7L (gas) battery systems are wired. Hopefully this helps someone, I know it would've helped me earlier.

Does anyone know where this plug goes? It is located next to the wiring harness for the blackout light switches. The plug is present and is not connected to anything in either of my CUCV IIs. The pink wire is short and spliced into the main light harness.

Got my CUCV II painted up. Rapco 383 green. The paint will significantly darken over the next coming days.

A by-god CLEAN garage!

That's almost a prettier sight than that sure-enough fine paint job.

Starting to look like a military vehicle again. Waiting on the bumpers to come back from the powder coater and it will be ready for the road.

Kinda Kermit the frog green there, is it the sun?

Yes, the sun and ambient colors affects the paint. I used 383 green. Here's how dark it was last night. It is even darker in the shade in natural sunlight.

Got the stencils on. Took longer than I expected but they turned out very nice.

Does anyone know if a CUCV and CUCV II rear bumper are the same? Definitely look similar. I would like to put a CUCV bumper on my civilian K3500 build eventually

The bumpers are different. The CUCV II bumper is a modified version of the stock rear bumper on a Tahoe.

I believe he was referring to the pick up.

Im not sure if it’s the same but it sure looks like it.

Starting to look good. I've run out of things to do to it until the bumpers are ready.

Had a problem where the antenna mount I used off a CUCV I didn't have the proper angle on the body, due to the difference in body style from 1984-1999. I bought a CUCV I antenna mount from a friend and it had this special bracket on it that made it level. It is necessary if you want to use a CUCV I antenna mount on a CUCV II.

Just got the voltage converter panel back from the metal shop. I can have more made if requested.

Good news, the CUCV II is back to 24V! I have attached what an original CUCV II voltage converter cover looks like in comparison to my reproduction.

The reproduction looks great, a big improvement over the OEM cover.

Did you do all that bending and brake-work yourself?

No, I had a local metal shop make it for me.
