Looking to buy a CUCV, educate me!

[Dabba]

So im looking for a pickup the m1008 or m1028. Looking for a 1ton. I dont know much about them so what should i be looking for? I want something close to milspec. Also, how does dealing with govliquidation work? any suggestions for having the truck shipped and is it possible for it to have a title and pass inspection in NY? ID prefer to find one secondhand but if i must ill go though govliquidation. Theres a reserve base by the RR station i take to work and man i wish it were as easy as walking in with a wad of cash. So any tips with gov liquidation and what should i be looking for when buying a cucv? How much should i be spending on one in good to excelent cond? thanks

Do a search on here for "cucv" and "military blazer/pickup/truck". We've discussed it a lot of times.

Low frills but the pickups have plenty of beef. Out of the box the pickups are basically setup for 38's.
