The color is closer to CARC 383 green than the photo shows, it's washed from the sun and camera. I think with time it will dull out and look pretty good. I'm thinking flat black rims, "US Army Official Use Only" on the door, and bumper markings to give some black contrast.
A long over due update. She has been sitting at a friend's body shop for nearly a year waiting for some love. I sourced a tailgate and other parts to make her whole again. The body work is a WIP and she will go CARC 383 green and later camo if I get the time. The body work almost passes for...
2009 was my first MV purchase and it was all down hill from there. SS members are welcome to visit. :beer:
The PMD harness extension is already on order. I've not found enough research to decide on which PMD to buy yeteven as a back up. I know it will happen eventually if it's not already on...
I'll check the alternators and leads, I'm sure they're due to be brushed for corrosion control. As for the blower it's missing completely. There's a single purple wire hanging down near the empty housing that may be the hot for it. I'm still triaging main components.

I watched it and let it roll. It makes me feel a lot better about my CUCVII purchase. On that note the M1009 in Springtown brought $7050 today so the market was thirsty.
Time to give this thread some juice. Won a CUCVII this week and looks pretty sweet. I was told it starts and runs but shuts off due to "an issue in the injection pump wire harness". Mhm. Time will tell. Judging by the pics they were chasing something behind the glovebox and gave up. I see a dent...
Did anyone get the one on GSA out of Riverside back on 2/07/18? It looked good but the steering column was in pieces. I missed the auction by 5 minutes. aua
