How are you going to install the AC unit with the turbo? Wont that take up the space needed for the AC?

I got mine in today. For those that have installed theirs where did you attach the ground?

Just an update guys. I used the Silkaflex product and it worked awesome!

Small world isn't it?

Jeffro589 recently gave a link to a dealer that has them for about $4k and the trucks look really nice. Seems they do some basic maintenance and choose rust free ones. Used Chevrolet at Motorsource, Inc. Serving Highland Park, IL

Wow those guys have some nice looking trucks and the price seems honest to.

Yea i put the video up because most of the ones on youtube didn't really go into any detail.

Some of you guys might find this video I made interesting. I just give a tour of my vehicle and take it for a drive through my neighborhood in Hays County Texas.

Ahh ok...thats why they have those driver side battery mounts you can buy. Learn some thing every day on here.

Do they use two smaller batteries? The civi k5 trucks i have seen only have one battery tray and the AC system takes up the spot the second battery goes. Of course this could be because it was a gasser.

From what I recall reading they do have a VIN on the frame. It is located on the top part of the frame, either on the driver or passenger side near the doors and you may need a mirror to see it. I am gonna go see if I can find mine....

I am not sure exactly where it is located...but I think there is a vin also on the frame some place. If you can find that it is probably the real vin and you can see when your truck was truly built.

Do the frame horns come out side of the bumpers like this? The parts sticking out circled in red.

I doubt its stolen, thats a lot of work to just get $1,500. I am betting some one fixed a CUCV by using a cab or parts from an 82. It would be really cool though if you do indeed have a pre-production model.

I see 3 possibilities 1. Stolen CUCV and some one used a VIN & title from an 82. A VIN check on the frame vs plate may confirm this. 2. An 82 some one took the parts from a CUCV and built it onto an 82 or put two trucks into one. Most likely of the 3. 3. A pre-production CUCV (i have heard...

Do you have any pics of the interior or data plates? Would be really cool if you some how ended up with an early pre-production model.

What do you think the mileage is if you stick around 55-60 mph on the highway? That mileage contest gives me an idea...we should truly see what people get. Perhaps people could take a pic of there odometer and scan in fuel logs. Would really be interesting to see what the true numbers are?

I wasn't talking about the 6.2, but the CUCV platform in general. No its not a fair test..lol. My comment was made in regards to people claiming them to be extremely noisy or super sluggish. I found that some of these claims are highly exaggerated in terms of making them sound completely...

That is the first I have heard of that. Since it is only 378 what did they change/take from the 454? I thought the 6.2 and 6.7 were GMs first diesel engines designed from the get go, unlike the Oldsmobile designs which were converted gas engines. So much confusing info out there...
