Found this thing but I have no idea what it is. Any help? I do know that it has a gas engine.

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.

All of the CUCV's built for the military should also have a "D" as the 5th digit of the VIN.

Can you can take a few more pictures of the truck? I'd like to see the spot lights and how they are installed.

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.

If from the front cab you can enter the back threw the door opening in the middle then its a civi ambulance if built for the military then look for some type of Data Plate or special purpose plate what ever it is paint it CARC green a CUCV brush gaurd some lift rings etc, etc
