That looks pretty nice for 1900, Did it come painted like that?
Remember the TM's are all knowing

I am shopping for a radiator also can you post up what you find/get?

Gloss paint?? Looks pretty sharp.... And on the TM's and the search feature on this site will pave the way....

I painted it myself its MACK green it matches my fleet of garbage trucks this is my work truck that i drive around and have a plow for it I replaced the drivers side rocker panel and both fenders and put a tommy gate lift gate ... I love it

I like it and I see a Tommy lift on the back as well. Looking at it you would not really know it is a CUCV, but it is. For $1900 that is a great price compared to some of the crazy prices I have seen for no-running part missing at GL lately.

yeah the prices are nuts now when i was bidding there were like 15 or 20 in maryland this was one of the last but it was right after christmas so i guess no money was around ..... plus i just seen a four wheel drive mag telling the world about GL saying the best trucks for the buck but expect to pay $6500... nice everyone will drive these things up now

Have you checked out the hundreds of posts here with the various brands of radiator available?

NAPA, Ready Rad, Murray, etc?

O.P. - Great looking truck.

Yes i read SS all the time for fun.
I like to hear what people buy and how much they pay to get an idea for whats out there.
He might of been looking in junkyards or found a NOS source, who knows?

Op do you have pics of the liftgate?

I guess you've never been in the military then. Bored 88Mikes when they're swinging the lead smoke like chimneys in their trucks. The trick is to get all the evidence out of the truck before you turn it in at the motor pool at quitting time.
