CUCV gun trucks?

[Csm Davis]

I believe you’re correct and the term GUN TRUCK is being misused. Now armour a deuce with quad-50’s..... that’s a gun truck. Strike vehicle would be more appropriate

I still think the stripped down m998 was picked over the m1009 because of cool factor. They were both relatively new trucks in the gulf war for instance

May have been because of what I was doing at the time or the difference in price back then but only saw CUCV's getting cut down for FAV/DPV use.

Post exoskeleton top off turret on

I get a kick out of people saying that a cucv has no armour and they’d never be used.

Personally I’d use either

Sick rig! Which turret ring you use?

there is no armor on the blazer smart ass.

I had cucv gun trucks, we built them with the M1009 M1008 M998 on existing platforms. As armed escorts protecting US Civilians in not so friendly places.

Well, hell, I shouldn't have read this thread. Now I want to put a pedestal pintle mount in the back of my 1028.
It would make hauling my water tank difficult but having a gun truck is more important than having water, right?
