I would NOT buy it. It does look like a hodge podge of parts. But I like parts and messing with things as long as it is not hacked and messed with to bad. I wish you luck. If you are looking for an expensive project buy it. If not and you are not familiar with CUCV's and the inner workings. It may be tough to get help with the mixture of parts that are assembled there. That has a whole lot of uncharted territory just by looking at the pictures. What did it roll off the Van Dyke street assembly line as. Only Flint would know.Haoleb does have a point. Remember that the further it strays into "modified", the less it's actual value as a military vehicle.
Also, look closely at the truck/pictures to see how much of the original equipment is missing (the front shackles and the battery trays, for example), and how well the modifications have been done. The poor steering would suggest that the lift kit wasn't exactly a professional job, so look into that closely. Is it safe to operate on the street? Will your insurance cover an extensively modified truck?
Points to ponder.
But only you can decide what is best for you.
Cheers
