I believe that EZFEED has brought foreign armor over from the Eastern Bloc. I'd shoot him a PM and ask for a response in this thread if he hasn't seen it.

I am the one who won the truck that the title is for, long complicated story, the truck is at Winslow's but I am in Colorado. He needs the CO form signed off on so that I can get the title for the truck and then transfer it to him.
CO won't do a 'foreign' title without a VIN inspection. Period...
What really made me go :cookoo: was that they KEPT trying to yank on it with the front wheel buried like that. They really needed to lift on the front rather than pulling against the wall.
Perfect example of why brute force is not always the best course of action.

I told him that I didn't...
Ah, no... the CUCV-II was the fourth generation C/K pickup body style and the CUCV-III was the Silverado body style. The contract for the CUCV did not include air conditioning and any CUCV that has it had it added at the unit level or by outside agency such as USFS after release from the mil...
The Blazer is a standard K5 Blazer, not a K20 or a 3/4 Suburban. The Military uses the weight ratings literally and calls it 3/4 ton because it can carry 1500 lbs of cargo. A K20 or 3/4 ton Sub will have 8 lug wheels which the 1009 does not have.
At most, the Blazer would have the towing...
