Also a new owner of a 1986 CUCV with the contractors utility box mounted on it. If I could use it, I'd keep it, but would rather let it go to someone who's looking for one.
My M1031 has been painted in desert sand and with less than 10,000 miles on the odometer and I couldn't be happier to put an aluminum flatbed on it just to see what I'm towing. If anyone doesn't mind wrenching it off here in Oregon, I'd give you a deal and an opportunity for a new friend too.
Also, it has the pto generator and switch box and engine stuff still hooked up and I wouldn't mind them finding new homes either. Could also use some help when switching over to a complete 12v system.
If anyone is interested, just shoot me an email back to get in touch. Looking forward to meeting other members for the CUCV crew.
