Did anybody preview the CUCVs in OKC that ended today? I wound up with a M1009 and was curious if they were decent or not. Here's a picture of what I won.

Sorry about that. It's that collusion thing and all :)

If you go out and check on yours could you let me know about this one?

Looks like a nice one, might be a touch of rust under the front fender. Can't see anything obvious.

Yeh it's probably like the one I got from Anniston. Both inner fenders were rusted in the same spot and they just bolted a patch over it without fixing the rust so then the patch rusted out too. This one at least has a better paint job than the one I have.

Now I'm going to have at least one 1009 for sale in the near future if anyone is looking to buy:razz:

I got one 2 weeks ago for surplus in okc and it runs great (I have ever seen a diesel run so smooth) but I can get it to start with out jacking with it. and it needs a tailgate and rear window.

I was pretty luck with the one I got from Anniston. It needed one battery but fired the first time after I switched it out. The only other mechanical issue was that someone had over-filled the tranny. I drained 2 quarts of fluid out before it got to "low" and the hook end of the tranny dipstick broke off from me checking it so much. Luckily a turbo 350 dipstick is the same as the 400 so now I'm sporting a chrome one.
