CUCV2/CUCV-II Owners, post pics and info of your truck

[Warthog]

Stonepicker1 started an LSSV thread a few years ago but no one started a CUCV2 thread.

There are Pickups, Crewcabs, Blazers and Suburbans. The pickups are usually 6.5L TD and the Blazers and Suburban are usually 5.7L gassers (a few diesels).

I'll start. My former truck was a 2000 K30 w/6.5L TD and came from Iowa NG and is now in Germany with Nico. It had 49K miles on it

My former CUCV II Tahoe. 350 Gasser, converted to 12v while in service. Purchased from Government Liquidation in Massachusetts.

Repainted to 383 green by myself then eventually sold to Gunner_USN in MN.

Picked this up last year from GP out of Lansing, Mi. 1997 with 100k on it. Did I mention that I'm still looking for a brush guard? As you can see, after I got the red paint off it says FMS, which I am guessing is foreign military sales.....unless someone knows otherwise. Also note that there are mustaches on the rabbit, the hood, the tailgate and the 4" tail pipe.

FMS = Field Maintenance Shop
16 = is the number assigned to the shop location.

FMS sounds an awful lot like OMS, an Army abbreviation for a certain level maintenance shop. The numbering system looks consistent with shop markings.

That's a good looking security forces blazer up there! Was the steering wheel gouged in about 50 places by a pocketknife? That's how you can tell it was sf without the decals. Was once posted in a early 2000s lssv that had that done to it....I wanted to cry.

How about the jackrabbit. Is it associated with a certain group?

That jackrabbit is the outline of the upper peninsula of Michigan. I think FMS 16 is from Ishpeming, Mi.

Well this is a 1996 CUCV II ex Air Force surplussed out of Barstow. Came with ALL the records since it left GM to the time of disposal. Last posting was Nellis AFB.

I had to remove the Blue & Red light covers since it is illegal here to have Blue lights of any kind on the vehicle.

I did it up as a EOD vehicle since I still had so much gear left over for display from my EOD M151A2.

Sadly my son is using as his daily driver since he blew up his M1009.

Still need to get the AC working and have the battery discharge issue that seems to a be prevalent problem.
