Hate to say it but without say CARNAC (or someone with access) pulling maintenance historical data on that vehicle you can't know for sure if it's really 14,000 miles or 114,000 miles since it could have rolled over. Typically I look for 60-80k mileage since the chances are better it's accurate.

Undysworld, CUCV's have a 17 digit VIN but they do not have the FMVSS sticker, for example purposes only I copied this off of a current auction. 1983 CHEVROLET MDL CD-10516 UTILITY TRUCK, VIN 1G8ED18J8FF103646, MILES 73, 929. PLEASE NOTE: "WITHOUT KEYS" -Dale

To elaborate more the cucv TM's are located on page 9 of the TM section: Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite start with the TM 9-2320-289-10 (-10 being the operator's manual) also the -20 unit maintenance manual, start with those first then move to the -34 manuals Also on page 2...

They (CUCV's) should have VIN's but not the FMVSS label. I have noticed when insuring them that they sometimes have problems "finding" the VIN as it has never been registered/ insured before so it requires some dilligence and patience when dealing with ins companies. Hope that helps some, Dale

I believe I sent you a pm about this since you had asked a similar question on another thread but I'll include pictures this time. My first MV was a M1009 I bought from a private sale for $3800. I only sold it because some drunk kid came down my street and hit it. My 2nd MV was a M1008 I...

Pending Legistlation I found this, Pending Legislation may limit licensing & use of Ex-Military Vehicles | www.wisconsin-pinzgauers.org

banning CUCV's......................wow that is a bit excessive, overkill in fact

One would think the the US Gov has records/data on who their vehicles were sold too.....at least originally, perhaps there is a way to track down the owner this way?

I bet CARNAC could find out some info if somebody provided the vin/serial # data.

Nice trucks!! Oh in response to the mileage comments personally when I am looking to buy a cucv I look at the overall condition but for the odometer I look for between 60-75k I figure odds are pretty good it is accurate rather than a roll-over. Dale

Wolf, That makes sense, please keep in mind the wait light only stays on for about 8 seconds so if you switch the ignition key to off and then back to on for a second time you have only hit 16 seconds nowhere close to the 2 minute time limit. My M1008 starts on the first crank if it is above...

Besides getting a block heater (on my to do list since it hit 9 degrees this week) you can try to cycle the glow plugs 2-3 times before actually cranking that seems to work fine for my M1008. Oddly enough I have seen labels pasted on some cucv dashes that say "cycle glow plugs twice before...

You can use a debit card, but you may have to contact your bank first so they can bump up the daily spending cap for charges above 2k (or whatever your banks limit is) Not sure why Wreckerman says not to use debit cards though? It's not like your sending them your personel pin number or...

As opposed to a irregular civilain? :-D I think most of would fall into that catagory with exceptions of those of us (like myself) still on active duty.

cool

Welcome Cubman 5k could possibly buy two running cucv's, No I'm not against private sales. In fact my first M1009 I bought for $3800. Knowing what I know now (mostly from this website) there is no way I would pay 5k for one except maybe if it had come from Devilman's shop and then it would...

I use USAA for my M1008,once they saw it was just a pick-up truck they had no issues. good luck, Dale

Clinto, I had tried to get a title for my CUCV in Columbus, GA they said I could get a title but I would have to go through a title service company. Perhaps you could go that route? Good luck, Dale

Thanks guys, I had to delete the FOR portion and go with "UNOFFICIAL USE ONLY" that way it would still look centered. -Dale

Tracking this fact Except for this guys electrical shop truck it seems, which was the point I was making.
