I didn't myself. Bought it that way. It was an ex-police vehicle so some time in its history I think a sheriffs office did everything you see

This carcass was sold for a frame swap with a plow truck

These two await the scrapyard:

DSCN4052.jpgMonth ago it was a m1031 cargo vehicle but put a Chevy bed on it for hauling wood etc. My son and I are hauling a small cabin in it out to the hills behind our village to replace one lost in fires this summer up here in Alaska. Pulled up some steep hills real fine. 37x14.5x16.5 tires required a fender trim but no wheel well cutting or lifting to get full turn ability and no scuffing, Stan

Driest summer and record fires in Alaska and then rain all fall and glaciering everywhere right now from all the water in ground. So starting to look like a crazy year. Not sure if I'm suppose to be talking non CUCV stuff here so here's the truck before I cut fenders and took maintenance box off to kind of make up for my bad.

Your rig is looking good, especially situated up there in all of that rugged Alaska bush country. [thumbzup]

Looks good. You took a truck that had limited use to a truck that has limitless/unlimited use. Way to go. I never had any use for the maintenance truck I had either. I sold it intact to a local farmer. I was going to make a plow truck out of it and he saw it and wanted it. Looks good with the bed on and the ruggedness of that truck fits the area you are living in. Good Luck with your truck. Stay warm. Thank you for sharing the before and after. I like the after.

It's ok.
What's the plane for the box? Are you going to hook the generator to a small engine ?
Or whats the plan?
