Lets see your OD CUCV's

[CycleJay]

My OD BOV...

Just curious, where did you get those straps hanging on your front and back ends? And they are called tow straps, correct?

 

[CUCVSRK]

I know this question was not for me but I got the same straps on ebay type in CUCV ebay to google click the first link and scroll though all the pages (like ( but it goes fast)

Yup I got them off fleabay... I just typed in CUCV CHEVY and searched in title and description... This is the title right beside the picture...(off roading tow strap kit bumper shakle pull 10 ton 3ft CUCV blazer K30 military) And actual picture from fleabay... Went mudding a few weeks ago and ended up getting high centered several times... We hooked up to these straps via an extra shackle and a long tow strap and they held up to some serious tugs... Which brings me to the thought... I really really need a 5" lift and some meaty 37" cleats...

Well they would definitely help but I don't think your truck can look much better

It's a softtopper..Just put it on..I love it..I havent had a lot of time to use it yet, been a cold spring...But the little bit I have, it's great, easy to use..Really transforms the truck...Actually made it quieter, as roadnoise really isn't any different, and removing the back glass and mechanism in the truck got rid of a lot of rattling and racket.

The color is 383 Green CARC from Sherwin Williams...Great product, extremely easy to use...I can't paint anything with a rattle can without it looking like ****, but could paint this with a Harbor Freight gun...Highly recommended, and much better than the housepaints if you can swing the $

I was leaning towards painting it myself (buying a compressor and gun etc) but didn't want to paint in my dusty garage! Where did you paint yours? p.s. ordered a softopper today!

In my dusty garage! haha


I have a home depot compressor...Get a bigger one than you think youll need...Used the $15 harbor freight gun..One gun for each coat...Throw away was easier than cleaning

Congrats on the Softopper.....If you can, lay it out in the sun before you install it..Softens it up a lot..

There's no way I could hose down my walls! I could wet the floor down. I've read so many reviews about compressors and the horror stories I gave up! I think I was going to look into a Belaire for $700 now that I think about it but I get the feeling they are all made by the same company. I was thinking of getting the HotRod Flatz OD.

Sharecropper,

What paint did you use? I like that a lot.

Reply to bigtruck -

I used Gillespie 383 CARC Substitute from Army Jeep Parts in Bristol, PA https://www.armyjeepparts.net/

Army Jeep Parts offers it in gallons as well as 16 oz spray cans.

Hope this helps.

I painted mine in front of my shop...on the dirt, less than 5 mph breeze that day, very little dust in it and besides that, who cares, you aren't going for a "show quality" paint job. First time in the weeds and it's gonna be scratched up anyway.
