Hey Jeff! Jeff is a great guy. He has helped me previously with an M934 out of Sparta.

Great job!

My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this difficult time.

I should have clarified that CUCVFAN has the newer style crank up landing leg with handle...not the older fold down variety. I got one from him a while back and I am very happy.

Before you go through too much effort rebuilding it, contact CUCVFAN on this list. He has NOS landing legs for sale fairly cheaply. I believe they are in the classified section, or at least they were. Good luck!

I can say that, while it is possible that a military unit added the winch, it is not stock. I don't believe I've seen another CUCV that came out of the military with a winch, but I bet it may have happened! Nice straight looking truck. Regardless, if the winch install looks good and it works...

I don't believe this was common...it was not found in a large percentage of M1009s...but I've seen it before. I've also seen mounts for jerry cans, but again, I don't think it is too common.

Thanks for the tip. Do you have any pictures of your repair?

Nice ride!

That is the bracket that I PM'ed you about. I'll send pics shortly.

Here are a few links I found. I just GOOGLED "UK military vehicle club." The first might be your best option...but do a search and see if others come up...I just did a quick search. https://www.mvt.org.uk/ http://www.milweb.net/dealers.php?catID=36 http://www.jeepcity.co.uk/id8.html

What about contacting one of the companies overseas that sells them. Maybe they would reproduce a manual for you for a fee. Or, look into some of the clubs in the UK. There is a lot of armor over there and you may find someone who has one that will copy their manual. Just a thought.

Well, IMHO, if you found a low hour reset unit, you'd pay $3500 or so retail. So, go down from there. If it runs and produces power (and everything works), I'd have to think it is worth $2K or so. Is it on a trailer? That would add a bit of value.

Yes, Detroit lockers. I have never heard of a USMC truck with lockers in the front axle. They may have existed, but not in the M809 or M939 series to my knowledge.

Great question. I don't know the answer to that. I would guess the USAF used them, but I don't know what color they would have been.

That is a really nice looking M818!

I should add the clarification that most m880s would have started off either solid green or 4 color MERDC as those were the prevailing colors in the 70s. Then, they may have been repainted with 3 color camo in the 80s. Either is correct depending upon the time period you are trying to portray...

While I have seen some M880s in the 3 color NATO camo scheme, most would have been the MERDC 4 color camo, or solid green.

I would bet that most trucks with ISO beds have lockers. Rest in Peace Cdub. Gone too soon.

Or, it was overhauled in 1996. I've seen trucks come out with the overhaul date on the VIN plate as the date of manufacture. $11K for a running HMMWV with a clear title sounds like a good deal. If the data plate says it is a 1990 truck, and the 1990 title matches it, I'd be content with my...
