2wd cucv!!!

2WD 1984 Chevy Silverado US Army M1008 CUCV w/ new 350:eBay Motors (item 120468049606 end time Sep-16-09 17:35:43 PDT)

Well, believe it or not, some one took a nice shiny, chromed truck, and made this. Don't they usually take an old, faded army truck, and put shiny blue paint on it??
Also, does that mean that there is a CUCV in the scrap yard, because someone wanted to build this?? I'll bet that pintle hitch gets a real harsh workout!!!?

Well gee Thanks there Indiana. I get a sleeper close enough to bid on and you have to share. Wayne

LOL!! I saw that one last night too. The appeal of the CUCV for me was never about cruising at 80-90 mph. Who can afford to do that anyway. Looks to me like he messed up two good trucks.

Looks like a CUCV, but only 5 lug bolt pattern...

I guess I was wrong, they DO have ricers in the MV world.

And to think, my CUCV on Ebay right now has to compete with that thing.

It's two bumpers and a brush guard. Wayne

jst looks like they took the brush gaurd and bumpers from one and some green paint and made that. Rest of truck jst apperas to be a c-10

My question for him is, where are the front turn signals? The factory quad headlight trucks of that year had them in the grille behind where the bridge plate is...

Later,

I see your M1009 in the classified adds, I could not however find the E-bay add. Did you sell it already or is your add expired?

I know very little about CUCV's ,but if a 2wd gas version was'nt ever built , then a flood of correction comments should be flowing into the sellers inbox

This was a cucv clone. I thought maybe someone took the axles out of a M1008 but the interior is clearly not cucv and the rear bumper and pintle hitch is from a M1009 not a truck cucv. I would say someone took a M1009 and put the parts on a normal chevy 2WD truck.

I would not bother, he clearly states "Replica" in several places. 1st paragraph reads "1984 Chevy Silverado longbed. Has been converted to look like a U.S. Military M1008 CUCV. All parts used to convert truck were from an original CUCV."
Personally I don't think he is trying to mislead anyone.

For a no reserve auction it is a fair deal. I would not bid on it as I prefer the real deal but that's just me. I could see why somebody might want the 12v sys, AC, radios etc... but heck when I was in Desert Storm I did not have AC either so I can live without it. Right now I am up in Washington state so we have milder weather than Georgia, but I drove my M1009 down at FT Benning without all the extras.

Mines better ! so is Dales

Agreed!

Having said that though I like the look of this MV poser truck a lot better than that Aerostar or Astrovan that was made to look like a MV......(yes it was done) there is a thread on here someplace.

 

[Cucvnut]

lol some one really did that ?

 

[gunboy1656]

Sadly, yes someone converted an Aerostar. If I remember it had a soft top on it, painted OD. guy tried putting the works on it.
