Ever find anything interesting hiding in your CUCV?

Found while dismantling the back of my 09 for corrosion inspection.

I found a Ft. Drum map in one of mine and an original brass lock with key for the steering wheel chain, another one I picked up in Ga. had a large steel ball (about 2") from some ball bearing. other than that nothing but dirt.

I found a 1984 skating party invitation up under the dash on one of mine. I posted a picture of it here 12 or more years ago. We figured out it was for a rink in Flint and was “installed“ during assembly.

You never know.

Steering wheel chain? I didn't know that was a thing they issued. I had to make my own.

HHC 1/181Infantry, MA Army National Guard, circa 1998…had the very last of the unit’s stakeback/troop seated M1008s heading to auction. Heading back from the DRMO yard (saved the best ones for last!) and I tilted the seat forward to find a bunch of new in the bag ECWCS parkas and some MREs.

LT smiled and we split the loot between us

One of those dollar coins the US introduced and never really caught on. I consider it a lucky coin for the vehicle. I also found a bunch of receipts for explosives. Mine came from an EOD unit in the Florida National Guard.
