    Looking for GL bid advice

    my .02.... it's a 25 year old vehicle. it will not be in top shape. you will get it at a good price. you will spend what you can afford to R&R all rubber hoses and seals you will love driving it, when it wants you to. you will buy another sooner than later.

    Passenger side Alt supplier

    I bought 2 from them a couple of months ago, so far so good. Price seemed reasonable since I couldn't find time to rebuld the ones I had, no core requirement so I now have 2 "spares" that as time allows I will rebuild and mothball until needed.

    softopper.com sells a canvas top that you can run. Not cheap but come in lots of colors, maybe green, maybe black. Topless only works if its cold inside!!!

    Radiator on the cheap?

    I'm gonna go for obvious here at the risk of sounding well, obvious.... A $3k investment protected by a cheap, inexpensive, "good" cooling system...

    what do I need to know about a CUCV

    1.) You already own a duece so the 25 yr old vehicle issue is a non-issue, if you do your own work on the duece. 2.) Do the Gl, GSA & private party sales to determine what fits your budget. (realize there are many things that can go wrong purchasing from GL & GSA, ask me how I know....) you...
