Oh snap, here it comes.....3...2....

I got my SF97 yesterday. YAY!

Jwade, thanks for the PM and I am actually glad you're here to read the complaints and work them out. I don't think I'm the only one that appreciates working on this issue for us.

My M1031 has a full set.I could try to get close up pics this weekend if you would like.

I would like to know how many M1013s were fitted as Contact trucks with generator.

I am still waiting for an SF97 on a CUCV that closed about 7/4.

I think it is nice for lowering the trailer deck height, but it still looks weird to me.

Quote: GP's truck prices seem lower, but that may just be the market trending down. The opening bids are usually at least slightly below the bottom end of reasonable, although sometimes I have to wonder who values a freshly rebuilt non running winch truck with super singles the same as a non...

If the valve covers and oil pan are the same that would show that the arcitecture is the same, thus designed off of the 350 Olds gas engine.

Where in Utah are you?

The 6.2 is actually a Detroit Diesel, and yes, I know that is still GM, but NOT a converted gas turd.

When it comes to paperwork, SF97s and such, GL had their crap together and I never had any problems with them and got them very quick. GP on the other hand is taking far too long on SF97s(I'm now almost 8 weeks since close, no SF) and I have received them twice with the wrong S/Ns on them...

The alternator output should be about 28VDC as the system is a 24VDC. If some one has put on a 12VDC alternator things are not going to work.

I am STILL waiting for mine for an M1031 contact truck. Its been almost 8 weeks now since the auction closed and I paid. I have had 2 previous SF97s come to me with incorrect S/Ns on them and hope that whe I do see the one I'm waiting for it is correct. Ya, 8 weeks then get a bad one would have...

I paid $400 for mine with fiberglass sides/front/rear and a tarp. It was a 2009 rebuild and had brand new 9.00x20 NDC tires. My friend sold his complete for $800.

I see CUCVs for sale a lot and see prices that trend higher than an equivalent Chevy truck. So my simple question is, why? I would think the Mil spec stuff would make them a little more difficult to work on and source parts for. So I am curious. Thanks.

I would think it would pull M1101/1102s OK as they are aluminum and fairly light. But what do I know, I pull everything with my M923.

I also run 2 group 31 batteries that are 900CCA ea(1800CCA total) and have no problems starting my NHC250 even in low temps. The 4 battery configuration is a Mil requirement that really isn't needed for us collectors even though many choose to keep 4.

USAF had and has a lot of Ford trucks. Last year I picked up 2 F350 crew cabs at auction that were in pretty good shape. They were both "Off the shelf" F350s, A/C, 351 FI, A/T, and long bed with just a little over 100k on them.

To get money for the Shelby GT500 restoration. You interested?
