CUCVs Off to Auction...
Snapped a pic of some surplus CUCVs being delivered to the DRMO for disposal. The truck in front had a couple Blazers but I wasn't fast enough. I remember being issued CUCVs and turning in our Dodge M880s. Hope they find a good home.

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
That's cool. Sometimes these surplus trucks are still in really good shape, and have next to no miles on them too.

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
Sadly these trucks will be cut up for drivetrain, then junked. Problem with these trucks is there are no options.

I had about 15 of these so far, 5 for parts, 10 for resale, one I use. Again, strong, stock trucks if you take care of them.

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
I get what your saying, but i was just saying that happens because the trucks have no options. At least in my hood thats what happens

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
yeah or because the body just aint worth anything (one reason being no options, the other being beat up). Around here we like dana 60's and th400/np205's as much as we like 2.5 and 5 ton rockwells...

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
Sadly the people who get them think they got a gold mine and want an unrealistic amount of money for them. Just because they are ex military, does not really make them very special. I'd much more prefer an ex rural fire department 4x4.
![]() They might all be low miles, and heavy duty, but they have no options and would be hard to do anything with other than make crawlers out of. Usually age is more of a killer than miles anyways, so I'd prefer some modern day things, like air conditioning. ![]()

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
Here for example is one in the federal surplus program that is NOT available to the public but IS to a municipality or fire dept. in the state of Pa. for $1750.
I would buy this in a heartbeat, take off the cap and use it as is. These are great plow/work trucks as is.

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
That last one is clean. I set of those axles would make my dually to single wheel swap a lot easier!

You have to register first Most CUCVs require a EUC before you can pick up Go to http://www.steelsoldiers.com You'll see how much fun we all have with GL and EUCs

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
I now wish I had NEVER seen that website.

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
Reviving an old thread... I was going to wait until I actually took possession of the truck, but I am still waiting on the EUC to clear (61 days now).
I couldn't help myself. After seeing the trucks go into the disposal yard, I got to go in and check them out. I wanted one of the Blazers, but after looking at them, they were pretty much junk. I did fall for one of the pick-ups though, and won it when it came up for auction a few weeks later. It is in great condition and fired right up. All of the accessories work and it shifts into F&R with no issues. 38k miles on the 6 digit odometer. Only bad part is two small rust holes (both dime size) in each cab corner. No other rust issues at all and after dealing with the cancer on my 76, believe me, I looked. original price (in 1984) was $31k. I got it for 2k. Here are some pics : Last edited by soule64; 11-12-2010 at 05:32 PM. |

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
Thanks - I can't wait to finally get ahold of it. I have an appointment to see it again on Tuesday to make sure everything is still ok with it. I need another truck like I need another hole in my... Well, you know... Hopefully it will make a decent part time driver after I get it cleaned up. I'll keep you posted...

Re: CUCVs Off to Auction...
Congrats on your CUCV. I bought one back in April, and I went today and picked a M101A2 trailer for it.
