Nice video and some info in this thread. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/28211-mv-drive-through-town-country.html

Now, that's a backyard I could live with! [thumbzup] :grin:

There is plenty of excellent information in this thread. When I bought my M342A2 I intended to use and enjoy it as much as possible. I sometimes carry a lot of weight on my truck. After a few days here and there of hauling dirt, gravel, and such I was longing for the power steering of my IH...

The swap of a 5.9 into a CUCV has been discussed before. GM allowed you to order 4 and 6 cylinder Cummins from the dealer in the middle 80's. here's a link. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/27071-5-9-cummins-m1009.html As a side note here, the 454 in the late 80/early 90's was rated at 385...

Yes Chris, a lot of it was new, never used.

All good info from badgmc56! My tipper came with the manifold heater and an electric water heater. Last winter I used neither as it started great everytime. Still, it's nice knowing they are there if I need it.

Nice work acesneights1. The CUCV does present a challenge when you want to keep the original goodies up front. The SS site guru and master engineer "mangus580" performed this masterpiece on his CUCV. The build should be somewhere on this site. Between yours and his setup, many others will...

The front wheels/tires are spares for my "singled M35". They are tubeless and have the same Michelin 11R20 ZXL's that I mounted on the stock wheels. I do believe the truck handles better with them. I think I would like to try a wider tire on a pair to see if it helps keep the front from sinking...

If the cooling fins are only coming out from the extreme edge of the core my radiator shop says they can sometimes fill that in with rubber inserts to keep pressure on the middle saving the radiator.

Thanks for comps on my truck. Let's see, so many ?'s to answer. I read about some items for sale on this site, not in the classifieds. No time to think about it. Went the next day. Not my neighborhood. I left at 0500 and returned home at 1300hrs from the yard sale,(380 miles round trip). I went...

Nice, straight line tracking!

I was looking for some parts and a fellow at Mosquito Four Wheel Drive mentioned to me that he had some M135 axles for sale. In case you want to enlarge your marketplace area their number is 330-889-9693

Yeah, I knew that. In another of his threads he asked about a camper conversion. I thought I'd toss these pics out there! :grin:

Cabovers, hmm? A gentleman on this site has done a great job with the truck in the first pic. I think the second truck was on a site for sale a while back, don't remember for sure.

Michelin 11R20 XZL's.

OK, I will do that. The reason I stopped there is someone said he had some 14's or 14.5's for sale and I'm looking for some 14.5's.

Yesterday was a good day. I scored big on a yard sale of military truck parts. Then in the afternoon I got a lot of dirt moved working into darkness. It did start to rain on my parade towards the end of the day.

I hear he is going to change things on it this winter from his neighbor. He has not been around when I have stopped and I don't know his name or number.

This is an off-road truck only.

I'd like to find this one under my tree!
