Thanks for letting me in. My CUCV is a 1009, 1984. I registered as "reverse mullet" because the drive train has been switched to a peppy, early 1980s 350 SBC, carbureted with some chrome that was pretty snazzy about 1985 but my goal is to make the body and interior look like the ones from my army motor pool days from 1989-98.....thus party up front/business in back. Engine swap was done very well by another army vet who succumbed to cancer before he could complete the build. Probably gonna bug yall to death for minor details to get the appearance as mil-spec as possible. 20241229_142044.jpg

Welcome to the Outfit!

You already look fairly well mil-spec except for those chrome trim rings.
Maybe a little paint to chase away the rust - but overall - nice looking truck!

welcome btw

and not to be silly but would "business in back" include stashed all-black nerf guns? just joking perhaps .. either way I agree that these chromed rims maybe can go otherwise I don't have anything to add
