1986 chevy blazer (cucv)

[azM35a2]

just bought this yesterday as a "nonrunner"....the geniuses were trying to wire it up 12v. so as soon as i bought it i wired it 24v and it fired up in less than 1/4 revolution. 80k original miles. has a little rust down low and missing the rear hatch, has blackout lights with a fancy switch panel and the rifles holders...

realistically i'll probably just sell it but figured i'd show everyone anyways. supposed to be getting another one aswell but it's brown and unknown running condition.

Is that a cloth/vinyl seat combination? Or does the dirt just make it look that way?

Looks like genuine Arizona Prarie dust seat covers to me?? good find !!

I love to find this type of truck and take the "problem" off their hands.

Good job.

 

[azM35a2]

it's vinyl sides and cloth tops on the seats. it's actually not "that" dirty. the seats are in great shape.

Why sell it?

 

[midcounty]

I am looking for one of these, and if I lived closer I would have to talk price on that one. Nice find!

Nice looking truck! I personally wouldn't use those rings to tie it down in that way, since a side load like that is pulling against the cotter key.

How exactly is that pulling on the cotter key? The force is on the ring, the ring is against the frame mount. You might want to tell the DOD of this cotter key side load problem, as the TM-55-2320-289-14 Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle (CUCV) Manual shows using the front tie downs to secure the CUCV for transport. Only thing I would do different is criss cross the straps.

 

[azM35a2]

why sell it? why keep it, i have flatbeds, i have multiple 1 ton diesels, i have 6x6's....this would be of absolutely no use to me and would just collect dust.

the rings were perfectly secure. typically i would cross them aswell but i was only going 4 miles so i didn't put a lot of effort into it.

 

[Cucvnut]

how much ?

 

[azM35a2]

no offense but this isn't in the for sale section so i'm not looking to make a for sale ad out of it and piss off moderators

 

[mr.travo]

That works. Why don't donate it to my good cause?

 

[azM35a2]

i don't think my company will operate very well if i start donating vehicles.

 

[azM35a2]

ok i've got to ask...i have this thing for sale for 3100 Firm, and have had little interest...why? i've seen far worse ones on ebay for 3500-3700, it's not like a hatch and batterys are expensive, not to mention the low miles and the zero blowby the engine is putting out...

anyone have any tips? aside from "finish it" because i REALLY lack the time right now.

 

[Gottlos]

Didn't I see that CUCV listed somewhere? Trailer included? Just curious.

 

[azM35a2]

only if you've been checking the classifieds.

why would my trailer be included?

 

[Gottlos]

Now I'm confused . For some reason I thought I saw an ad somewhere that had the same picture of a M1009 on the trailer, and it was included. If it wasn't OOPS.

 

[azM35a2]

i've owned that trailer for 2+yrs now...and it's most certainly not for sale so you must be mistaken.

 

[Gottlos]

Ok, I'm wrong.
