I don't own a CUCV, but it **did** install the backup camera from Those Military Guys in my 5 ton and love it. It's not a hard install.

This trip in from offshore, I'm getting serious about the M37. Long story short, I want to remove a butt load of rust from all of the bolts, fenders and washers I have (pretty much 2 of every one as the ones from the donor truck were saved if possible).
My budget doesn't include 1k...
I believe you are talking about @texas30cal setup.
It is a great idea, and he went a step further and "C" clamps the stakes a little higher so passengers can stand up in the bed without hitting their heads.
He can tell you better what material he used and how it all went together.
I...
Apparently I can't keep Bertha together.... or she is conspiring to keep me from working on the M37....
I managed to lose the top of my exhaust...
So if anyone has one, please let me know!
