got my CUCV
 

this is the latest CUCV to my fleet so for those who ask a CUCV will fir on a Uhaul auto transporter it is prolly 500 lbs over the alleged uhaul limit but if you deflate the front tires some it will strap down and the galvanized Uhaul is longer than the older orange metal one and the truck just fits on there with like an inch or so of trailer beind the back wheel. the truck will also go on and off without removing the uhaul fenders and the door will swing open without lowering the fender
we used extra tie downs on the truck just to be safe and the thing you see hanging down is the front driveshaft
Body is dang near mint on this oen just a tad of rust and a small forklift mark ( no dent)
for starters the truck needs a starter and batteries as well as a front u joint and rear driveshaft but other than that its whole and looks pretty decent

You should be ashamed of yourself... pulling a chevy with a f*** f*** fans everywhere are lauging at us.

Re: got my CICV
 

I uhauled my 1 to with my ranger cross 3 states... Just sayin.

Re: got my CICV
 

years ago I had a 99 four cylinder ranger and I hauled a cab and chassis with a flatbed on it minus the motor and trans from the foot of PA on I81 to Sayreville NJ and another time I hauled a 72 cab back and forth between MA and NC

Re: got my CICV
 

I have a few choice words for the F*** the thing has 18000 on it and its going for a trans ... almost as bad as the 2011 I had

Re: got my CUCV
 

Nice find. Get it off of GL or private seller? I've got a couple of 1009's and they are some of my favorites because no need to worry about scratches and the fuel mileage is great (as I'm sure you know). What are your plans for it?

Re: got my CUCV
 

We have one of those at my work that they plan to auction off soon ,a Blazer is going on the block too .

Re: got my CUCV
 

Nice find, always wanted an M1008 of my own.

Here is my friends 86!

Re: got my CICV
 

Boy does that cab look familiar!

Re: got my CICV
 

that was a different cab the one you gave me I ended up passing along to someone else who needed it that can belonged to one of the guys who used to be active on here XXL . he sent it to be chopped and all it was a whole big debacle here around 03 or 04 I just went and did the hauling for him as I had the time and wanted to do a road trip

Re: got my CUCV
 

I want one.

Re: got my CUCV
 

My plans are to take the one I already have which has a lot of work done to it already ( one of my workers stole it went offroading and swamped it) and swap stuff over to make one exceptionally one good truck and one beater.. the beater will continue to haul dirt and rocks and construction debris as the other one is more of a backup and truck for the property I just bought.. It will have historical plates on it to keep the costs down

Re: got my CUCV
 

Now you're learning. Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. Never hurts to have an extra CUCV or two around either lol.

Re: got my CICV
 

Did you have it overloaded with that CUCV and u-haul? Might explain the trans puking out if it was.

Re: got my CICV
 

according to the dealer and the website I can tow 11000 lbs the vehicle weight according to the scale at Ft Meade was 14980 if you include the towing vehicle ,tools, passengers, uhaul and cucv which if you go with the data on the Ford website im still under MGVW

Re: got my CUCV
 

well I tried to get this one running properly which was a chore.. It needed to start with ether but after doing fluids and belts and being unable to get the glow plugs to work and all plus the fuel quit flowing in the cold here so while trying to sell my other cucv someone made an offer I couldn't refuse and this one went to its new owner today.. So long Army truck!

Re: got my CUCV
 

Sorry to hear you let her go. These dang diesels can be a bit tempermental I am finding out. One little thing can reap havoc on these engines.

Re: got my CUCV
 

So which did you sell, #1 or #2? I loved your description in CL.

Re: got my CUCV
 

the guys came and looked at #1 and fell in love with #2 they paid me a little more than what I had into #2 and I figured that I may as well sell it... #1 is still on Craigslist as is my El Camino.. Having been on here for so long, Ive learned how to write a CL as lol
El Camino: http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/4308557417.html.
CUCV#1 http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/4308578048.html.
My friend is selling this car and id like to turn my attention to this instead lol http://longisland.craigslist.org/cto/4297311325.html

Re: got my CUCV
 

Memories. Had a 72 El Camino 4 speed car as well as a 64 and a 69, all stick shifts.
Bought an 80 El C SS brand new with a factory 4 speed and 305. Radio and A/C delete so I could afford it! Nice car but what a dog in stock condition.
Like that Monte too!
Good Luck!
