CUCV in Belgium?

[raiburn]

Some dude in Belgium bought some CUCV parts from me off Epay yesterday. I thought I had to pinky swear to GL that I wouldnt sell it to a non-U.S. citizen. Appearently sombody did.

 

[Capt.Marion]

And there aren't any other ways to get US Surplus vehicles aside from GL? Remember, there have been and still are Army bases in Germany. There are more than a handful of members on here that have CUCVs and live in Germany and that part of Europe...

that`s right.
the pinky swear is senseless due to plenty opportunities to buy cucv
stuff in this part of the world.
and besides, i thought we are working together anyway.


4 example:

Teilemarkt für Militärfahrzeuge

Morlock-Motors

Ersatzteile für den Army Chevrolet Blazer M1009 oder Pick UP M1008 - us-army-military-shop

EBLE 4x4 Restauration

KEMPER-PARTS - OFF ROAD Teile & Zubehör

etc.

Nico, I think this is EUC issue we can buy this crap here we can't resale offshore thing, you have to sign some legal mombo jumbo to that fact that you are not buying for someone who is not a citizen. The real kick in the a** is the goverment can show up give your money back and take away your truck or what ever I am sure someone might elaborate one this

 

[Nico]

ok, i see that this is a general issue...
basically only right and proper.
fortunately i don`t know anyone were this has happend.

More than one CUCV in Belgium. Most come via Germany. Plenty of K5's, pickups aren't that common.

 

[JohnFire]

The US Govt sold them to Europeans for years at DRMO auctions. When I bought mine in Germany, I was bidding against, people from Germany, Belgium, France, Poland, Netherlands, etc...

 

[dudeLJ]

Hi guys! Do you know about some auctions in Europe where i can buy the m1008?
I've seen few trucks on mobile.de and autoscout but the price is horrible!
I am from Poland

 

[Robo McDuff]

Those good old days of surplus auctions for this stuff are over as far as I know. You can get more modern stuff, but I think the auctions of old where whole depots were sold off when a unit left Europe are over. I am not sure what happens today with the older US stuff from the German bases, never saw an auction about that (but I never really looked very hard either). I should look into that as well.

Dude, like Robo said, a good days for cheap US MVs in EU gone. Now you can buy cheap only currently released 5 ton or LMTV trucks. A market price range for CUCVs now is from 5k euros for a piece of junk, to around 15k euros for restored vehicle. And mobile, autoscout or allegro (form time to time) is a good source for searching a truck. You can try to find something at morlock junk yard form 6k euros, but these trucks are in poor condition.

 

[Robo McDuff]

For trucks, REOMIE in the Netherlands is still the best place in Europe, but you pay through the nose! Most of that stuff is slowly adapted for sale to Africa, in parts or whole. They have a lot of Willys jeep stuff as well, but Staman has more. However, never saw an CUCV in either place.

 

[dudeLJ]

Thanks guys for your answers. It's shame what you wrote but i won't stop searching
Maybe i should to think about import from the US. How it looks like? Has someone experience with this?
I have been searching and there are some m1008 for about 4000-4500 USD.

Shame? Can you explain why?

Robo, Reomie is a good supplier for IIWW Willys and Dodge, a Deuce or M151 parts, but I never found something good for CUCV or HMMWV over there. However I always love to dig in containers

Gents you also need to remember that the US military was NOT the only user of the CUCV , these truck were also operated by Canada , 1008 and 1010, also supplied to countries all over the planet, also supplied to Lebanon along with M-113's, so parts are all over the planet,

 

[dudeLJ]

Shame? Can you explain why?

I mean i regret that there are no military auctions in europe. Sorry for my english.

 

[laplander]

You can find them in Belgium from time to time, for €5000 or less. Not worth importing from US. I sold mine (M1028 ) for 4500. Check out tweedehands.be or marktplaats.nl. In holland all oldtimers go cheap due to recent law/tax changes, so thats probably your best shot. I can only say "go for it" 'cause by european standards this is one **** off a vehicle. Still regret selling mine. (Put some cheap '37 hummer tires on it. vrakking.nl)

Lebanese M1009 and IDF M1009...

 

[eme411]

it would be interesting to know if the IDF also fixed the electrical system to pure 24 volt , they have a great history for making vehicles more user friendly ,I like the aircon system , can anyone get a dash shot of a IDF CUCV
