Even if your shelter was within specs, or was brand new for that matter, I don't see the reason for the precision. To require the cutouts in the top plank for CUCV installation, indicates those small shackles had a purpose in a CUCV. That is assuming the cutouts were for their access. With such...

So I took one of the end planks and held it up to the shelter. It looks like the cutouts in it are for access to the shackles on the 4 corners. I thought those shackles were for a different application than the CUCV. Now it looks like they are used for something to possibly lift the shelter, I...

I think I know how the shelter is mounted with the hardware. It's the dunnage under the shelter that is perplexing. The specs for it are down to the 16th of an inch. Besides lifting the shelter higher in the bed so it won't ride on the bed rails, I don't see what the end planks are designed to...

I have cut the pressure treated lumber to the dimensions in the TM but I'm not making sense of it when it's in the back of my truck. When nailing it down the assembly instructions call for a 3/16 overhang in the back, a 13/16" overhang in the front. There are cutouts for the fenders and the...

Does anyone have a shelter in their CUCV? I had one in a M1028 9 years ago. I didn't have the correct dunnage under it at the time and I ended up removing the shelter. Sold the truck and eventually got a different M1028. I'm going to put the same shelter back in this current truck. I noticed the...

Thanks Ziggy

I have a 1985 M35a2c that needs a horn button. I saw there is an "old style" that's common and a "new style". Was the new style a replacement after the last AF deuce was made in 1989? or did the AF specify the old style horn button on their trucks? It was confusing when looking for a...

I'm cleaning up the truck, and will be taking the bed off to replace the front panel. We are going to put a shelter on it soon and I'll take some pictures when that happens. I took a picture of the rear bumper today, because I haven't seen an eyelet like that on a CUCV before, and was wondering...

The military liked their vehicles with dents. If it wasn't dented, they put at least 1 in right away! The dent makes it more original.

Insurance companies and their connected shops are really upsetting. It's off topic a little, but after telling them I wanted to buy back my totaled truck, somebody threw some plastic garbage between my air filter and the turbo on my 97 dodge cummins. After getting it put back together a month...

When you say permanently mounted, you can't unbolt them? There is one on You Tube that looks the same as mine, the owner painted it tan. He doesn't mention the data plate and I could not see it, but he does have the same fenders. I'm going to watch it again to possibly see if it is AF.

I had my spare blow out laying on the back floor on a hot day. Did damage to the rear seat when it went too. Glad I wasn't in the truck.

That is why I started this post. I have seen at least 2 styles of rear fenders on CUCV's and thought it might have to do with who supplied the Kits and when. Some people may also be repairing their trucks with aftermarket or GM civilian fenders. Took a picture of the inside.

I don't know. I bought it from GSA. When you say stock GM dually, all of these were conversions from a kit as I understand it. I'm about as certain as I can be this is how the Air Force used it. I don't know what was in those kits. Typically these agency's out here spend nothing on the upkeep...

I brought the truck home, so I took a couple of pictures of the of the rear fender marker lights to show what I was talking about. I have seen others like these lights and I have seen others on Ebay and You tube that have the civilian style with the indentations in the fender that hold the...

I know that you will be in danger of being run over going 60mph but your fuel mileage will improve and so will the lifespan of the 6.2. Running it at 80 very long will not be good for it. Sometimes these CUCV's aren't used very much and the tires look good but check the dates on them to be sure...

RO(MAD).... I was tongue in cheek when I said cranky. It must have been a highly technical, complicated job. I'm leaning away from my M151 being one of these jeeps, except for that 64Kxx serial number that I haven't been able to disqualify.

I forgot about this thread. It is quite old. I wonder if he found the info he was looking for? I know a little more about them now.

Thanks for sharing that info. I looked at my M151a1 a little bit closer and I can't tell what the rating is on the generator and there are no holes in the dash where a plate may have been to identify the system. If I knew where the serial number location is I could see if it matches the plate...

I was looking at a few sites about M151 radio jeeps, (one of them that is good is linked to this thread) and some jeeps were plated with the specific radio system that was to be installed or plated after installation. Sounds like after? It just seems like... where would that system plate come...
