Found a CUCV 1028 locally on Craigslist. Went and looked at it today. This is the first time I've been able to climb all over one so I was pretty excited. Truck was an 84, converted to 12v, disconnected blackout lights, decent firestone tires, and a recent IP. Truck fired up after the light went...

Very interesting way to unload that beast!

Good on you Chief. It is not wise to trespass so that one can day dream. Hopefully you find some use for the truck! 8)

Wow, I love the visor with the DOT lights and the tints. Is anyone else concerned that revving an old Hercules diesel that hard would be an invitation for blowing a turbo or worse, throwing a rod?

Hmmm, by MV I'm assuming you mean "military vehicle?" Well this is a good idea. Here is what the IC states on it-

Adding a heater shouldn't be a problem. Probably mount a bread truck heater in it if I can find one in 24v. This is a budget project (lol, is that even possible?) so the initial cost of the truck is going to have to stay lower.

Well, I'm quite frankly terrified of going the GL route because you don't know what you are really getting (since I'm a n00b) and the red tape is horrific. I will keep it in mind though.

I checked out C&Cs website, and I like what I see, although his prices are way out of my range. I'm looking around $3500-$4000 for a running, solid truck. His trucks are very clean though. I might give him a call.

I don't want bobbed truck. Must be a turbo diesel multi-fuel, prefer air shift. I'd like to have a winch truck, but I understand those are usually wore out pretty bad. Things I'm less picky on would be preferably a hard-top. I'd take a dump or regular troop bed.

So can anyone point me to a good Hoosier source of these trucks? :lost:

Is there any kind of mileage restriction with the antique plates? Any kind of restriction on hauling for private purposes?

Um, ok? So asking about items found on ebay is prohibited?

Other than the grounding issues, what fails on them? Just cheap soldering?

Wow I had no clue that tags would be that much. The insurance seems very reasonable.

Attention fellow Hoosiers- Part of my research in buying a deuce is on how to properly register and insure it in Indiana. For those of you that did not put antique plates on them, how did you go about it? Not planning on generating revenue with the truck, but would like to haul stone and dirt...

But very cool! I'd keep the old levers as a backup. Robr has a sweet rig.

Found this while searching for Deuce stuff on Ebay- M35 M35A2 M151 M37 M988 M818 M923 LIGHT SWITCH NEWSTYLE : eBay Motors (item 330406434600 end time Feb-25-10 13:47:09 PST) Is this really just a plug and play modification on an M35? **Edit to add- So there is no confusion this auction is...

Thanks for the info fellas. I'll be honest, I didn't bother to do a search because I honestly didn't think anyone here thought along the same prep lines I do. Good to know. Anyway, I posted in another thread and was told that while not as fuel-versatile as a deuce, that the 6.2 had some...

Ok, this post may come off as a little kookie, but stick with me here. I'm needing to know what kind of electronic systems the CUCV has, such as the glow plug control card, etc. The reason I'm asking is that the main reason for me shopping for a CUCV or deuce is that I want a diesel, 4x4...

I had a '79 Scottsdale 3/4 4x4. I had the exact same problem (except mine was a gasser, so I don't know about the glow plug card) and I installed a new starter, new fusible links, and never was able to get that truck to turn over again. I ended up selling it because I was sick of dealing with...
