Re: The CUCV that GM should have built
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.

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. |

Re: The CUCV that GM should have built
If they stay at Annville it will probably be in a GL scrap sale, sold as one lot, mutilation required. Just guessing of course.

Re: The CUCV that GM should have built
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?
