Sweet score Phil!!! Good luck with the Ms..... I had been watching that one as well. Not surprised that you got it!! Glad it's going to a good home.

Your truck looks to have aftermarket wheels on it. It may also have some 33" tires on it already.

I had seen a CUCV2 crew cab long bed in Norfolk that had the same rims last summer. It was the HM-15 aircraft side duty truck. They hardly drove it.

Oh, and does it have a key so I can unlock the steering so I can get it on the trailer? unless you want me to ask them to forklift load it...

It stated that it had a key. Ask the GL guy. If you have to, go ahead and forklift it.

are they universal like the old CUCV keys?

Update: The LSSV is now at Ferro's place in SC. He did the pickup for me in VA. Adam said it is in bad shape and will need a lot of work. I already bought a used fuel tank off e*ay to replace the missing tank. Hope to make a trip up and get it soon.

I'll give you $100 for it as-is and save you a trip......

Pictures man, we want pictures!!!!

I did an engine pickup in Apopka, FL for Mr. Hill(his truck is at Adams place). Heading to Hopkins, SC to unload the engine and load my LSSV. Should be at Adams home Sat morning.

The CUCV-II has a small leak in the oil cooler line, I bought the upgrade kit, just didn't have time to do the install. I hate oil leaks

Stopped at the Flying-J on I-95, exit 305 in FL to eat and take a break. I'll drive some more tonight and see Adam in the morning.

LSSV: 2005 Chevy, 2500, 4X4, 6.6L Duramax Turbo Diesel Engine, Allison Transmission.

Location: Portsmouth, VA.

Road trip will be about 2,000 miles. My time is short on getting this truck because I fly out on the 26th for a two weeks of training at Camp Atterbury, IN. Just hope I can get off work to make the trip.

The truck will need some work...Fuel tank(missing), Drive shaft(bent), Drivers door repaired, Tailgate and ???????

More later.

Sweet truck!

So is there some secret auction site that has LSSV's? I've never seen one on GL or GD.

B&W Turnover Ball Gooseneck, #1000R . Got it for $414.00 with free shipping to the house.

Stopping for the night, I'm about 1 hour out from Adams place. I-26, at rest area around mile marker 150 I think.

Just left Adams place, dropped off the engine and loaded the truck. Went to lunch with the guys and now heading back to south Florida.

 

[Warthog]

So was the key with the truck when Adam picked it up?

It may be rough but it looks like it is a good starting point. Looking forward to the assessment.

 

[M1075]

Looks like a good adventure. Was the cab covered with a tarp? The color fading pattern looks a little strange!
