I remember when several trucks went through the auctions painted like that from FT Lewis. They were range safety vehicles if I remember correctly. They were being sold directly from the military.

Why not just get the arms for an 85-87 K30? They don't use the bayonet mounts, they use side pin. They are designed for these trucks and work great. I have a bunch of these trucks and these are a typical upgrade. They are fairly inexpensive. You can keep the squirters on the blade or remove...

AC60G Glow Plugs work just fine on CUCVs. If you don't want to modify your original wiring harness, about 2 seconds per glow plug narrowing the spade on a bench grinder also works...

If that dent totals a truck, I have a bunch that need to totaled I guess. Worst case scenario you can buy a bed side, that certainly doesn't need a whole bed to repair...

Did you move to or from Port Orchard? I'm guessing if you just retired you moved away from the Peninsula... I'm in Belfair.

I always upgrade to the 85 up squarebody arms. They have the end that sticks out at 90 degrees. If you don't want the arm mounted squirters, they come off easily. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-42852/overview/year/1987/make/chevrolet/model/r10. Also, some people use longer blades...

This does have to do with being a military vehicle. MSRP is available for most vehicles. The DMV people can't find it for Military vehicles. This is not just about sales tax. They will charge that (use tax), gross vehicle weight tax and in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties they will charge...

I've registered 3 CUCVs in WA. They all went through ok. It's not the state, it's King county. They are going to tax you on a fairy tale depreciated MSRP for the Sound Transit scam. Based on the NIIN on the door jamb, you get get the original price to the government. PM me if you want help.

The correct number is 12552214. It is also AC Delco GF647.

Communication support truck... :)

Thanks! You are giving me hope that I can do this for a lot less than I was expecting. I need to get both transmissions here and next to each other. That will answer the rest of my questions. I will have a 4L80E to NP241 (driver drop for the 1993) adapter if that would help you with your swap...

I didn't understand what you meant the first time, please excuse my thick skull. This thread on pirate gives me some ideas: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/motor-tranny-t-case-performance/950363-infinitely-clockable-gm-t-case-adapter-kits-replaces-stock-full-spline-engagement.html I currently...
