picking up a M1009 Cucv

picking up my first MV! It's in rough shape engine specifically, will need rebuild eventually, but interior is great and not sure on exterior but I'll find out. Ex Navy M1009. MV's are slim pickings in San Francisco/Bay Area so I'm doing my best! Pics should be up within the next 3 hours

idk who did the paint job, but there ya go

she leaks oil, she burns oil, and needs a new outfit, but she's all mine

Nice, how was the recovery from the P/O?

nice and easy. He met me at the train station and I looked over the truck, he showed me everything, we signed papers and went away. I stopped for some diesel and when I went to start back up the truck would just keep cranking, which was weird since when I first started the truck it went like it was nothing.. but the engine is tired so I'm sure it's that. I was a little freaked but the previous owner was top notch and pulled me through it!

lol just looked through all the service history, and apparently in 2003 the Cucv was hit by a HMMWV. Funny, they never replaced any of the parts on the Cucv
