As mentioned above, they were trial extras that were painted different for other customers.
Green one is slightly different color than official 383 green and the brown/primer one was a trial for someone else.
Brown one is...
The handles were shipped USPS and were very well packaged with each handle wrapped in cardboard.
Definitely worth the money.
I feel like I’ve completed a quest since I’ve been looking for these correct, brand new levers for so long.
Now to buy more.
New levers arrived.
He sent the two different color ones at a much discounted rate. I can paint them no sweat!
He told me these were laying around shop and they didn’t want to bother painting them.

Plenty of guys here that know these CUCVs extremely well and will help you navigate the...
Buy a different Truck.
One that was actually designed for what you’re requiring.
CUCVs were never meant for power.
Sticker on my 1987 M1008A1 engine says 155hp. Bone stock.

I’ve never seen any for sale.

We now have a source for the...
The picture shows new levers in different colors.

Other two were for different customers and are obviously non-standard colors.
These do not include the pulley and its hardware as I previously thought.

Backing them up is a nightmare.......for me anyway.
Had one for a while. Almost brand new.
