Nice.. Do you know if it runs? I like the canvas top.

 

[GM-M1008]

oh here it is. dont know if she runs yet & the cover was one of the reasons i picked it

 

[NICK_M1009]

Sounds like your going to have ta tow it. Nice truck...

 

[sirmrtow]

great looking truck
looks like a welcome add to your fleet

 

[GM-M1008]

yup its getting towed home if if i new it ran because i am not taking any chances until i get it home and go over it. Yup can ya tell i like chevys.


quick question on the euc the event number do i put the the event id or the lot number in that spot?

Same place mine came from mine had no rust at all hope you get lucky to

 

[GM-M1008]

i didn't see no rust on it but there is always something you miss. i think is gonna get a solid green paint job anyway so if there is rust i missed it will be fixed

sweet deal veery nice looking truck, you look like your going to be lucky on this one too

lol... i was eyeballing that exact same truck. i drive by the Bordentown yard *everyday* on the way to work and catch a peak over the fence from route 130.

IMO around here - a complete truck with no rust and a shelter cover make it worth some elbow grease even if there are some repairs needed.

let us know how your experience is with the Bordentown GL - i'm looking to start bidding on items at Bordentown and Ft. Dix.

Nice truck, I'm thinking about gettng something like that since I need a truck and perfer a diesel truck but all the Dodge Ram 2500 cummins are a bit pricey. A CUCV should run ok but I'd heard no great reviews back when I was in. I guess like everything else, it's maintenance and care. Plus it's a Chevy.

Your right take care of it and it will last i bet the cucv resale valueis more than a dodge lol

I can relate... a mid-90's extended cab 2500 12v cummins/5speed fit my needs best - but around here on the used market? $15k for a truck with 100k miles? $10k for a clean specimen with almost 200k miles? i don't think so.

CUCV's have a sturdy drivetrain that will get the job done given proper care and respect. You just need to expect it to be slower and hotter in the summer. Of course - a M1008 on 37" hummer wheels will get more attention than any cummins in recent memory.

[GM-M1008]

i am gunna lift it and put the h1 rim and tire set up. thought i might put that out there since your talking about 37 in tires

 

[turbonotch]

that's where it's at

been wanting to do the same for a while... i have a lifted dodge on 36's but don't drive it all that often because 9mpg from the gasser 360ci stings.

there is a guy that runs around here with a CLEAN M1008 with 4" suspension and 37's on blacked out aluminum rims. i prefer the military hummer rims myself.

 

[GM-M1008]

agreed. i think the hummer rims look sharp on these trucks
