    1986 M1008 5/4 CUCV

    I didn’t take it that way man. I’ve been driving square bodies for over 35 years and when I would find a good deal on a “no title” truck or “no engine” or “no transmission “ truck, I would snatch it up. So over the years I’ve created a little square body grave yard. My problem is all I do is...

    1986 M1008 5/4 CUCV

    It wasn’t a deal breaker but it most definitely brought my offer price down. I have a replacement bed, doors and front clip so all I’ll have to do is strip down the bed liner on the cab then repair a hole (rot) in the driver side door jam / rocker panel then get her painted up. She got a new...

    Okay she's up and running!!! Thanks for all the advice. Got rid of the rat's nest of accessory wires, returned battery wiring back to factory, 24v in series and she purrs like a kitten. (like a kitten chewing on rocks like most 6.2's). Now we start the restoration back to original/modified...

    Glad I found this forum. Long time square body guy but first time CUCV owner. I just purchased an 1986 Chevy M1008 regular cab long bed five quarter ton truck. Truck is in pretty good shape, rust in common areas (rockers and cab corners). It’s still on the 24v system. The kid I got it from was...
