No " 3 -axle-hassle" with DMV, DOT, and other law enforcement. Current tags cost me $19 for the CUCV. I dunno about the size -of -the- garage thing.... if you bang the back end of the garage and half is still hanging out, will the missus say that is a good thing ?

I wonder if its actually operable ? Or is the cab just placed on there ? Thinking about the control mechanics of that setup : steering, gearshift, pedals..........

Well, its just a fun thread, kinda like "why beer is better than women". Its all good 8<)

I'm imagining an extended-extended cab (6 door) with the dually bed.....I like it.

1. It fits in the cookie-cutter house garage.

The vehicle is ex-Border Patrol as shown in my avatar (so it wasn't green anyway). The guards are to protect agents from rocks thrown on the MX side. That stuff doesn't make the newspapers back East?

Shock ? You mean like a prostitute in church ? Its Ok, I like it 8<)

I had the window guards painted black on mine. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members-rides/71747-cucv-w-window-guards-now-red.html

Like this (on a similar truck).

My "thing" is to repurpose MVs (I think that's the modern, hip terminology) rather than restore them. I didn't want it either tan or green. Or Air Force blue. Or purple nor orange. Gray makes it look like its primered. Black too hot for AZ. White , well it was white w/ green stripe before...not...

Hmmmm....maybe I could make some money on the side....8<)

It got painted this weekend, new tires, will get plates for it tomorrow and get 'er on the road.

The one with the turret is for sale 520.574.0300. Here are some more pix of the swivel chair, camera mount, etc.

I think mine is gonna work OK. If you look at pic #4 u can see one with the custom turret top you are looking for. It has a swivel seat in there. Its located at Jack's in Tucson, AZ.

I wish I had bought an A3 at $12 k, I would have been money ahead of where I am now restoring the A2. I do not fear the A3 auto trans : the A2 has never, ever failed to start so I don't even imagine having to push start a deuce.

yea, now you have a story to tell. If all went well and someone asked :" How was your trip to get those trailers?" "Fine." you answer. So much for that conversation 8<)

I've been told that once you take the hardtop off, it never goes back on right.

Workin the border fence with mine.

Mine was Border Patrol.

I like the Michelins. Whats wierd is the truck steers easier with the bigger tires.
