M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

I'm usually in the 69-72 Blazer section, but can now finally report over here!
Bought this M1031 back in '09 at an auction for super cheap. Only had 15k miles with contact maintenance bed, pto generator & air compressor (welder already gone). This little pic is the only one I have the day we originally brought it home.
Sold it to a friend shortly thereafter. It just sat at his shop for several years; he sold the bed off it. End of last year, with some swapping around we ended up getting it back!
Very solid truck, only rust was cab corners, which we replaced and few dings here & there. Added the LWB bed.
Had a few glowplug & wiring issues, as all these CUCVs do, but thanks to the help of Steel Soldiers we were able to work thru all that.
Fabbed up a lift & crossover steering to fit the 37" Hummer takeoff tires.

Painted 2 wks ago & finished putting it all back together over the Thanksgiving holiday. This is our first diesel, so something fun & different to play with for us!

looks good! nice save

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

Love it, nice stance!:metal:

Is that the correct CARC color green or something else?

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

Thanks everybody! We've put about 200 miles on it since Thanksgiving & just enjoying it.

It's a county road bridge just down from our house...think they are old corp engineer bridges; county must have gotten them surplus. So thought it would be good spot for pics.

Yes the correct color green, but not the nasty carc stuff.

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

Very nice.. also love the CUCV's myself.

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

That truck IS nice! I have the same bumper on my 1981 shortbed stepside, but in order to install it I had to remove the tow ring shackles from it since the brackets that held them in place hit my frame ends.

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

Nice! Looks like it could climb a tree.

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

love the stance on that truck.. would you mind giving me the measurement between the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the bump stop metal bracket [front axle]. thx! love the truck

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

I love those trucks...I will get one from the auction one of these days.

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

just for my own information.. what was the manufacturer and code for the color you used on the repaint? Mine will get a similar job this winter

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

No problem; just wrote myself a sticky note so I'll remember for when I get home tonight!

Grat looking CUCV! Used the same Rapco paint on mine, worked pretty good too

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

Nice! Tough looking truck

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

My thoughts exactly! :metal:

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

15.5" exactly

Re: M1031 CUCV rollin again!
 

How much lift did you have to put on the truck to clear the 37" tires?
