M1028 with a M101A2 bed with pic

[army_nurse]

Today after a long hot battle with a cucv bed swap i was in the middle of i gave up and just put the M101a2 bed on it. no trimming needed for the 12 bolt hmmwv tires and wheels needed now. i like it. gonna fab up some mounts and a drop down to hold the fuel full cap and call it good. gonna use a set of milspec lights i have off the sides on the rear. as well as get a little longer chains to make the tailgate sit level when its down. any other ideas or comments? and remember momma said if you cant say anything nice ........

That looks awesome, if i had a M1028 i would do that swap, it makes it unique

We put a newer 101 bed on an M1008 that came out of GSA without a bed. It is lifted and has 37s on it. I will post some pictures soon. It is getting some new pipes this week.

I'd love to get an M1028 or M1008 for cheap that had a messed up bed. I think I'd do a flat bed though. But that does look really good. Make sure you take some pics from behind.

i will be working on it some more tommarrow. i will take some more pics. i have to go make my used motor oil rounds too so i might not get much time with it. for what i do with the truck it will be perfect. i am also almost ready to put the hmmwv motor i got from Ft. Riley (GL) in as well. only have to take off the sending units and swap the headers for the cucv ones and swap the pullys as well then in it goes. i have the fuel filter mod done as well. this site has been great it makes some of this stuff like paint by the numbers. i have the canvas and bows and when i get it bolted on i will take some pics that way as well. i will be putting on the hmmwv wheels soon too. well see ya'll on the flip side.

Neat. Kinda gives it an M715 look. Mount a fuel can holder and pioneer tools on the sides and you'll be styling!

 

[army_nurse]

good call I have both of those. also thought about a highlift Jack too. thanks for the input.

Thanks, army_nurse

That is such a cool truck! Back in March 2, 2010, I ask in a tread "Any one knows of a M35 bed on a CUCV" ( I didn't know the difference with a M101 bed) for oppinions and ideas about doing something like this, with the drop sides or a modified Flat Bed. My idea is on hold, but your project is great to look at. Thanks for the photos, keep then coming...

Use my 1028 to haul wood that bed looks really nice and I have a lift from a dump I saved for someday and I think the someday may be here now just need a m101 add some side racks and got a great wood truck The wife says unloading wood is worse than loading anyways!!!!!
