Hello Tinstar, I have just went outside to look at the Data Plate on the door jam where underneath it is stenciled, 5-91 CARC. I hope that this can help as I really want to try and find the remaining parts to complete the unit to its intended purpose. Thanks to anyone that can help with any...

rustystud has a good handle on what the 70 is used for and what it is worth. What would be even better is if it has a locker inside. Too bad the frame has been "adjusted" past any kind of usefulness. I would have let you cut in half and take the section that had the axle, and let you take...

I am beginning to believe that the truck may have been a quick up front communication vehicle with the 1st ID. With Armor, Air Assault, and multiple Support Detachments homogeneously, and cohesively active in close support of any action, the communication detachment would be a crucial part of...

Hello Tinstar, have you evaluated the remains. Does the frame look like it is straight and unmolested, not all rotted? Maybe a useable chassis?

Thanks Tinstar, I looked at the data plate for the 84 CUCV and at the bottom right of the plate has number 14063382. At the top of the plate it has CUCV Cargo or Troop 1008. The plate does have on the loading diagram a two sided antenna dimensions for transport?

Hello sandcobra164, sorry I was being critical earlier. The best way to have equipment from my point of view is to have a maintenance schedule. No matter what, I take a day every month to start all equipment and let run in place or and drive, move around, articulate moving parts. If you do not...

Hello all, when I purchased the 1008 from Ft. Riley I always wondered why the bed of the truck had used all four mounting points for the antenna positions. It also has a power cable added, running to the passenger side to the inside of the bed. The bed also had at one time had a cover on. What...

Welcome, The Test seems to be working.

The Drama, Oh the Drama...

Received SF97 Today. Now on to Mo. DMV with dated paperwork to try and get Mo. Title and either Farm plates or Historic Vehicle plates. Outstanding, I can drive the truck on roadway and use the truck for some local errands, even though I have been using it around the farm. PHasty, Thanks for...

Welcome from cucvmule! :tank:

Hello and welcome to the forum. If you haven't yet, spend some time and bounce around the forum for TONS of useful information. :tank:

The green belts are great for lawn tractors. Long ago my lawn tractors liked to eat the deck belts. The wife worked for AC Delco, and one of the experts there said to use the green belts on anything that took any kind of abuse. Now deck belts can and do take extreme use. Now I use the green...

Having welded two already that is a very good place to look, or grab and pull on.

Mg84648, that is one repair or maintenance area, the propeller shaft that gets overlooked and abused. That is one assembly that when repaired makes you feel great about catching the problem before carnage happens. Did the new universal joints come with grease fittings? Now part of routine...

What yard is the truck in Volvo if you don't mind me asking. What year?

Thanks for all the experienced information. I almost pulled the trigger on the 105 but after seeing the monster spring pack I surmised that the trailer must be for a larger truck and decided that I need further information. I will most likely get a set of 37's, just for grins but want to be as...

Looks like the 101 series is a better fit. I had seen the 105s for sale and thought that for the money I might try one. But with weight, brakes, height, the 105 is for larger truck. I will start scouting for 101 series. Thanks for the replies.

I was afraid of that with 9.00x20 tires I thought the ride heights would be to different. The brakes would be great to work when loaded but maybe just for parades it would be ok. Thanks Evil Dr. Porkchop, is there a trailer that would work?

I was wanting to purchase a 105A2 to pull behind my 1008 but don't know if the 105 is too tall to drag behind an unmodified 1008. Since we have National Guard Engineer Units nearby I wanted to have a pioneer setup to have for parade duty in town. Or does the 1008 need to be lifted to be at...
