New CUCV

[N1265]

I heard that canada already has these and that the U.S. might be going to these.....

Is this true?

 

[CCATLETT1984]

the us decided to stick with the humvee over these, a lot of nato countries are isung these trucks. There is also a regular pickup model. I even saw one for sale on ebay a while ago. you can order one from GM minus a few of the mil-spec options (like the blackout lights).

 

[M1075]

It's back on ebay for like $34K. Not bad for a brand new Chevy diesel/duramax/allison!

and a dually had blackout lights and winch Chevvy bowtie in middle

Hey M1075..do you have a seller's ID? I bid on it the first time...talked to the guy on the phone and he said he could not let it go for less than $35K and wasn't making a profit then..pfffttt..then as soon as the auction ended he sent me a second chance offer of $31K

Here's the ebay # 4643043510

A 2005 with 288 miles - sign in background says 'Teds Auto Sales'

and it's $34,900 - so I guess he's still 'stuck' on $35k

I wish the US would get them to replace the M1008's. Are the M1008 being phased out of the military? These new Chevs would make great wildland trucks.

the CUCV is dead as far as military procurement. Yes, they are still being used for garrison ops such as range control vehicles, but the HMMWV is here, and that signed the death certificate for the procurement of the CUCV back in 1985.

 

[muddobber40]

Thanks Wallew-- 4638574681 is the one I was bidding on..same truck...different seller..it did sell supposedly to poorboy135

 

[emmado22]

Huh????? I didnt bid on anything....

 

[muddobber40]

ummm... sorry...should have been thanks "wallew" (for giving me the ebay item number)...editing now..

 

[M35guy]

those are kinda cool, but I still like the original CUCV better though.

 

[N1265]

they look awfull low to the ground in the back end......

 

[M35guy]

thats because of the body on that particular one. if you see one with the truck bed, its likely to look much more normal.

 

[citizensoldier]

This truck was just at the Findlay show. The guy who had it there said he just bought it off of ebay??? Anyway it has a all alluminum body so it wont rust. I cant stand this pariticular front end that smiles at you but it was neet to see. It is very low in the back and lacks that upward slant like the CUCV version. I would be pulling this thing out all the time. For the money I would rather have a completely rebuilt 5 ton or even a HEMMIT or something that is a better truck. Hell you could rebuild 4 CUCV ambulances for that much money...
