The CUCV that GM should have built - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was in West Germany in '83/'84 when the CUCV's were being deployed. I seem to recall some typical government FUBAR where all the CUCV's had been sitting in storage for so long that their warranty was about to expire. So for about 2 weeks there was nobody in any of the maintenance yards because they were all out driving aimlessly around putting mileage on the new trucks to see if they would break.

I worked for local county government in new mexico, they had about 3 acres packed with complete vehicles not being used. One of them was a 3/4 ton chevy truck with the camo paint like in the pictures. They just had an auction and im sure its gone now

Someone gave my dad a M36, Same as the M35 just long as hell. My dad said i could have it! Its been over a year, and i still haven't gone to pick it up. Its mostly complete, it rolls and is only missing some of the back tires and wheels.
Very cool truck, i feel dumb for not getting it yet.

If they stay at Annville it will probably be in a GL scrap sale, sold as one lot, mutilation required. Just guessing of course.

Mike, I'll go buy some land, you let me know when they come up for sale

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-20-2010, 03:23 PM

That would suck if they were all just scrapped. I wonder if they figured out the axles may bring more than a complete truck in some states?

junkyardjohn · 07-20-2010, 09:51 PM

ONE MANS JUNK (IN THIS CASE OUR TAX $ AT WORK) IS DEFINATELY ANOTHER MANS TREASURE.

HEY DIESELWRENCHER... I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE THE SMELL OF DIESEL FUEL.

No one ever said that what DRMO and GL (Government Liquidators) does makes any sense lol.
