The CUCV that GM should have built

Anyone who knows something about the military CUCV knows they came in two flavors- regular cab long bed and Blazer. In rare occurrences there was a dually and a cab & chassis, but those are just variations of the RCLB.

Being a mechanic for the USMC, I've been pretty up-close and personal with these trucks and how they are used. I don't know about the other branches of service, but in the Marines, I have always said that they should have went with the crew cab instead of the regular cab. It would have just made more sense. I've never given the Blazer much thought until I was cruising Ebay and saw a Suburban done up military style...

Ain't this truck simply awesome? While we're on the subject, has anyone seen a crew cab done up like this? If so, post a pic, I'd love to see one.

Immediate plans- get it running!
Future plans-
Rear disc swap & Hydroboost
Dually conversion with shackle flip-n-switch
4x4 conversion with 52" springs
Maybe some new body panels
Who needs a car when they make crew cab trucks?
