Nothing on it says military CUCV. Civilian grill guard, civilian rear body, chrome mirrors and A-pillar lights, Chevy badges on fender, chrome bumper, gasoline engine. Although it could be a COTS military truck, its not a CUCV in the true sense of the acronym.

Looks to be a K30. Doesn't seem to be sporting any sort of CUCV parts. (No blackout lights, wrong brushguard, no slave port, incorrect ambulance or service body) Does it have any placards on it? Might be some air force special order vehicle.

Could be AF or Navy. Any data plates on it? Should be a registration # if so.

a truck LIKE THAT - albiet green, not tan - sold last year

Unless I'm mistaken, it has a 350 V8, TH400, NP208 and Dana 60's (corp 14? on the rear)

If memory serves, it sold for about $1400...

but again, my memory is a bit iffy

But I do remember this one...

I would have to agree with patracy, looks like a K30. One that they put an ambulance body on it. The badging on the side of the fenders pretty much says it is a civilian truck. Military trucks very rarely come with any badging on the outside, and if they do it is never chromed but painted the same color as the truck.

I know the CDN military bought standard K30's before CUCV's. We have one. Has a 350 gasser in it.
