The CUCV in Showtime's Jeremiah

[POOR WHITE BOY]

I have a manual for one . I bought on ebay about 8 years ago. I think it is in TWO languages ? I will look for it and get back with you.

Well I just looked at the tires on one truck and it's 3/4 Ton trailer. It has Cooper 'Super Traction-Tread' 9.50-16.5LT M/S on the trailer and Goodyear 9.50x16.5 LT 'Custom Xtra Grip Wide Tread' on the "5/4" truck, as we refered to them in the service. As it stands right now I may be incorrect on the Firestone brand as being used on these trucks. I know on our Canadian MLVW/M-35's all I had ever come across were Firestone brand tires, with a very close tread pattern to the above tires. I'm pretty sure though on Firestone being a supplier of the 9.00x 16.5's as well but I can't confirm. Sorry for the confusion.

The tires look like some sort of armstong true track

 

[trucknut]

clarification ?

Hi there cucvfreak, Are you asking about the tires on the movie truck or those issued on the canadian 5/4 trucks when they were in service. From what I remember, the orginal tires were goodyear (9:50x16.5) as evilone has said.The tires were a smaller diameter than the old 900-16 ndt. The ones on the movie truck remind of a tire from years ago I think they were called desert dogs ?

 

[Cucvnut]

[trucknut]

Merry Christmas poor white boy. where you ever able to find the canadian manual ?
Have a happy new year

That thing doesnt look as good as a real U.S. CUCV! That front grill guard just looks GAY.

Are you talking about the movie truck? The guard on the Canadian CUCV is very similar to our's. The one on the movie truck is - um - a creation to say the least!

I was talking about that thing on front of the Movie truck. The Canook CUCV looks pretty good.

looks to me as if guard is using the cucv shackle bars so it may hinge down to the front thats how i would do it anyhow.
