That's the previous owner of the CUCV, he pretty much only owns surplus vehicles. He ran rear flag car as we went through town.

Re: Trucks Working

Well Heres to the guys with the dodge jokes... My 03 hauling my 86 one ton 45 miles knocking down 11.3 mpg.

Re: Trucks Working

Thanks 79gmcclassic for the compliment! Unfortunately the pictures make it look a little better than it is. For 235K miles it's held up really well. Still a great driver but the list is long to get it where I want it. Just rebuilt the original tranny this fall and will be replacing the motor this spring. No issues with either one but time for a little more HP.

Re: Trucks Working

Gotta say that is a nice looking truck... like the factory color scheme.

Re: Trucks Working

funny thing bout this car, I paid $800 to buy it "for" my youngest son 2 yrs ago, paid my son $800 to get it back 2 weeks ago ! I aint much good at this car buy'n thing.

Here is another shot. It was a real pain to get that 73 grille mounted up.
