I stand corrected, usually into my 2nd sixpack when I go SS. I promise I will never ever make that mistake again...ROGER!?

I would have gone with a 6.6 Duramax/Allison swap, or at the very least a 6bt Cummins. I really like the intake tube run into the passenger compartment .

Did a quick search on here, didn't look like this was posted yet.

Actually it was posted last month.

There is no need to post every MV on Utube on SS.

If you had questions or comments about it,, it might have been interesting and worth posting.

I'm glad you like the show, and I'm sorry some of you don't like it, but hey, thanks for the feed back! the Alabama Army Truck is done for now, but it may get some different upgrades in the future.

Thank you Fred for doing another CUCV truck and putting it on your show. I love what you did to the truck even if you did not stick with a diesel.
Additionally the last episode was great with the off-road Pace Arrow camper, LOL!.

I just noticed that I did not post the last part of this series, so here it is to keep up with the flow.

hey guys, I did another upgrade to the Alabama Army truck, I wanted a winch mount that looked like it would have from the factory. What do you think? I realize that if it was mil-spec the Warn would be covered in green also....

 

[sschaefer3]

I love it!, that's Cool! Looks factory.

 

[K9Vic]

Looks great Fred and thanks for sharing. I like how you build out the stock brush guard and integrated it into the winch mount, looks factory to me.

Since the truck is already so modified, does not bother me that it is black. I have a winch on my M1031 and Suburban CUCV clone that are black.

Oh, and BTW, where are the LED lightbars on your truck.

 

[fcfred]

no light bar, but I did throw those two PIAA's in the grill to see the deer, hopefully before they hit my new winch!

 

[TCUCV]

Great job Fred on the build, I'm looking forward to some more videos of this truck now that it's mostly finished. I almost sold my M1008 but after watching your videos I decided to hold on to this beast, well and seeing it in the January issue readers rides!

 

[sschaefer3]

That looks like something Randy Ellis would come up with. Am I right? I know you rolled through here.

Hey Fred, what is the part number for that brush guard please? Could you post more pictures of it? Looking for a winch mounting solution for my Blazer.

I love the truck, my only suggestion would be to do a tranny swap for the next upgrade so you can actually get all that engine power to the road. The TH400 is strong but it is killing that high HP motor that you installed.

every one here would love to see an episode on the tranny swap.

 

[yelloeye]

Those 4 episodes are actually what got me thinking about getting a CUCV. Great to see that Fred is on here.

Looks awesome...I dig the OEM military brush guard integration. I would question it's strength for such a big winch and heavy truck though.

 

[usmcpatriot]

Great job, got me thinking, although I'd keep my Warn M8274
