Welcome from Oklahoma by way of Texas (Houston area). Yes there is a CUCV Suburban this white one brought me a nice present and since the owner already said hello I'm sure he will chime in when he get on again. You picked a good site for all the information and answers you care to ask. Just be...
Wow PB that thing it beautiful I can't wait to see what you guys do with it. I'm glad you guys had a safe and uneventful recovery Gonna need a big deal of popcorn for this one. :popcorn:
They were some kind of prototype and they did have weapons so I'm not sure what they would have been used for, but since it is basically a tractor with guns and armor I figured it fit in here.
I'm not sure if these have been posted before but I saw a quick clip of them on a farming channel today and looked them up. Pretty cool idea but they were hard to see out of. The V wheeled one was hard to turn in mud, and with the old steel seats and top armor if you hit a bump you would hit...
If you have a good stock engine run it. I bought one off a guy for $300 who was replacing his with a SBC I think. The one I replaced I'm not sure what happened but I have a feeling it wasn't me or mechanical failure that killed it. I drive it all the time it is my daily driver and I have no...
PB I think you have your work cut out for you on this build as in anything. So treat it as it should be, and by God keeps us posted we are really interested in this.
I agree $900 is a steal. I have seen the tail gate alone sell for $300 not counting the rest of the Jeep. This is a great deal, jump on it and run you will not regret it. That looks like a J-series (extra hood) in the bed and I'm not 100% but that looks like a M38A1 hood in there too. There are...
I found these on another page there is a guy with the S/N K-18 building it. you might try getting a hold of him and find out if he knows anything this would also be a good place to talk to guys that know there COE trucks.
Here is a link to the site so you can try to contact them and the owner...
Sorry I didn't understand you, now I think I do. The numbers given are prolly for the military's vans. The Hick's company made school bus body's and van body's so it is possible you might find one like this out there, or use a bus body and mod it to look like this one. Then there is the...
I have seen a few wheel bases for the COE's in my searches the longest being the stake bed and fire trucks and the shortest being the 5th wheel. I've also seen the "mid sized" one under ones like this van, tow trucks and wreckers. I'm not sure what the dimensions are but I'm sure they are...
Z man I think you should get this project and do exactly what you said although I think a fold out libations counter on the side would be a good addition.
Count me in on this one I love the look of the old COE's and I was planning on getting a 1943 K54 signal corp truck but the owner wouldn't get back with me. This one sure looks pretty. Good luck!!
Man I love how the old power wagons look and yours is a beauty. I've ran across a few dressed out as fire trucks that I would have loved to get my hands on. Here's one:
