Hello from Texas

[79Texan]

Thanks to everyone for all the helpful advice and pictures. I look forward to giving advice when and where I can and of course reading about everyone's tips and tricks.

Here's a pic of my 84 M1010. It has a 4" SkyJacker Suspension with 255/85's. I am running a 2" spacer between the duals for good measure. Someday I'll apply a proper paint job, but for now the Olive Green from Home Depot rolls on nicely on the bed. That's the cheapest and closest match I could find in a pinch to the OD. Front paint is still original CARC.

Welcome form Cape Cod, MA. Nice looking truck Texan. Did it originally have the duellys or did you add them? I don't know a whole lot about the CUCVs.

Looks like a cool truck. Welcome to the forum from Cleveland Ohio!

The dual rear wheels (DRW) is not original, I bought the truck from a guy that added that touch. I had always wanted a single cab DRW 4wd Chevy and came across this truck on Craigslist. I bought it and have added my own touches to it and have enjoyed almost every bit of it.

The paint on the bed looks good!

Lots of folks here have used the Behr paint on their MVs.
I did my M35A2 in the 383 green and I love how it looks.
