Yeah, I thought about that. I do have a ton of watchers, 30+ as of a couple hours ago and LOTS of page views. I'm just hoping they're waiting til the last minute to pull the trigger.

With eBay most bidding happens in the last few hours, so you will just have to see what happens near the end.
It has been my observation on eBay that a CUCV will sell for more if it is original with no customization. Your truck loos good, but it has incorrect seats, gauges, radio and speakers. Also a well cleaned CUCV not seeing any dirt and black painted under side. The best way to get the most out of your vehicle sale is to clean & detail it, even with a CUCV.
I am restoring a M1009 and currently the interior is stripped out and will be cleaned out. I plan to rhino line the floor in the cabin after fixing some rust spots and patch a small hole. The next step is to clean the under side and paint it flat black. The engine bay will be cleaned and some of the brackets removed & painted. It will have a era correct digital radio with the dial nobs and front speakers under the dash, but no rear speakers. The radio was there when I got it and it works well, so I might as well keep it in there.

Yeah, I know that will definitely play a part in value. I honestly purchased with the intent of never selling it, as such I wasn't concerned in keeping it "correct". I'm certainly having mixed feelings right now about it not having bids.
I don't really want to let it go, you know?
