Do they have a "slave cable adapter on the front grille ?
Are you able to "slave another 24 volt (Military) vehicle ?
Click to expand...
Yes to both. The 24v system is for jumping other MVs and for 24v accessories like radios, etc.

I know of a local 1998 CUCVII tahoe and 1998 CUCVII pickup that are both factory diesel, and wired the exact same as mine with 12v starting system from the factory.

Interesting, All 5 of my CUCV II are Diesel, 6.5L turbos and all have the 24 volt starter.
Thanks for the update.

I just looked at that yesterday and was going to ask if that seemed a high price, glad you did it!!! He's got a few priced like that and his personal (I'm guessing) lssv listed with no price. Green iron ain't cheap up here I guess...

So the super clean CUCV 2 in Texas went for $6,000 earlier today. That was a pretty one. It looked absolutely crystal clean in the photos. Nice buy whoever got it.

Also new. A GMT800 series LSSV, in Guam. I know Guam is a PITA, but check it out. Its pristine. The paint is not faded. It has 4K miles. It runs and drives. Very nice! Prob auction for $20k plus in the USA. Not sure in Guam.

To import from Guam you gotta have it cleaned. Anyone have any Bro’s working out there to get one steam cleaned at a wash rack?

check it out!
Wow it’s pretty.

Biscuitwhistler, yeah I thought that was high. Historically I’ve seen LSSV’s with full pro comp lift and 35’s sell retail for $20,000. And they were very nice. Almost perfect restorations or low mile survivors. LSSV’s are way more popular than CUCV 2 and command higher prices.

So the latest CUCV on Govplanet was $6k at auction, and it was a near perfect West Coast truck. I have a more rusty East Coast one and I paid $3k. So that’s the current 2 year auction spread for CUCV2 models. $3-6,000.

Start watching and bidding. It’s a gamble sometimes, but then ya get lucky and it’s all worth it. Oh. Also use GovDeals for their old fire trucks and such that are old CUCV 2 and LSSV’s just painted red. Usually very good condition and low mileage.

I post everything I see on here. So I’ll be updating as I find them.

Good luck. They’re often for sale here and in the FB groups. You’ll find one. Took me about 3 years to finally get one in the driveway.

Thanks for this, and the encouragement. When it is time for me to finally get one I'll be on the hunt for either a sub tub or crew cab like yours.

Okay Ya’ll. While we’re waiting for the new guy to join with his hot Texas truck. I wanted to ask if anyone has ever seen a CUCV 2 with a lift and 35” tires?

We all know the “EOD & SEAL Det” trucks. Freakin amazing balls!

I’ve seen every generation of Chevy and even the new Fords, with lift kits and 35’s. Never, ever seen a CUCV 2.

Anybody have CUCV 2 photos with it lifted?

Closest I have is 1st Gen LSSV which is a GMT800. So not far from us.
Here’s the Gen 1 LSSV:
An EOD truck.

Where’s the lifted CUCV 2’s at?

Waaay back in the 80’s and 90’s when I was stationed in Iceland in an Air Force Rescue Squadron, the flight line truck was a beat up “six pack” Dodges or Chevy’s. The PJ’s had some serious rigs! Everything on the trucks that could be upgraded was upgraded with the best that Uncle Sugar could buy, all from the local economy. Big freaking tires, jacked up halfway to the moon. Light bars that would challenge the sun and roll bars to hold them. IIRC, their trucks started out as one ton Chevy’s. I don’t think they were duallies(sp?) because of the insane terrain around Iceland. They had radios that could talk to anyone they wanted to and racks in the back to hold equipment.
I’ll dig through my pics from then and see if I took any pics of them. Now where’d I put those pictures…?

I have never seen a CUCV 2 GMT400 lifted in military service. To lift this truck (other than cranking down the torsion bars), you had to install a sub frame on the front end which was not a simple thing.

Here’s my collection of pics. All Pro-Comp lifts with a variation of wheels.

In the 2000’s when I was in, these trucks were done by 4 Wheel Parts retail stores. That’s why the wheels vary. Just swipe that fancy SOCOM credit card. We all know how that goes.

I will say, 90% of wheels are Soft 8 style steelies, or some form of basic Pro Comp Aluminum. Some 33’s and some cranked for 35’s, with various AT’s and MT’s.

I used to get a loaner Cat-Eye LSSV and it made an entire range day fun! Air conditioning that worked! And it floated down the road on those big aired down tires.
