I appreciate the feedback. I haven't gotten any pictures taken the truck is currently in a shop out at one of the farms. As far as the miles go. Without a doubt I believe the mileage to be accurate, the steering wheel still has the texture to it and the ribs on the back side are not rounded off like my old 85' Silverado, also the break pedal and foot feed have less wear than my 2012 Silverado with 60,xxx miles. Actually the break and gas pedal has basically no wear whatsoever. I know those are all replaceable parts but someone would have had to intentionally tried to manipulate/replace all those items to make it look like less miles not to mention the engine compartment and how clean it is, just doesn't seem worth the effort to me. The truck had 2 previous owners before me the government and a fire department. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion though and I expected opinions when I posted here so no offense taken on them.
I think some are looking at this as some truck that's all torn apart and beat up. It's in excellent to mint condition for it's age. Heck I drove it to southern IL last year to pick up a trailer, that was a 900 mile round trip.
As far as making it an original CUCV again I think gathering the parts to do that outside of the bed would be fairly cheap. Heck I have 2 of the grills laying around that I was going to use on other trucks. I'll probably just end up selling my old Silverado seems to make more sense if the price is the same this one means a little more to me anyway and is much more reliable just not as fast..... Maybe someday I'll just do a rebuild on the old truck.
