I'm just talking mild driving bone stock.
Most lived through that.
The few I've been close to anyway.

Me too.
If they would have built stronger from factory a guy could keep them stock or add something. At less than a small fortune than iceman’s talking about.
Original comment was in response to tarusell talking about Isuzu diesels who GM currently uses in their trucks, it was an imaginary scenario where bean counters and EPA left their hands off the original design.
Wasn’t bashing the 6.2 or anything like that.
tarusell back to you and duallies.
Very nice - details on the running gear ?
Late to the party, but were CUCV tow trucks a thing? Like did the military actually have some with tow bodies? This thread is the first I’ve seen that?
Oh I agree.
That is why I gave that example where bean counters were pushed aside and salesmen got a product they can sell.
Too rich for my blood but something worth the price of admission
I’m not certain if they did or not - I’ve seen CUCV ( or whatever would be the correct lettering ) DRW Ambulances cab chassis with NP-205’s ( I assume there was a need for the PTO port on the case ) but never recall seeing a any CUCV variant with a boom setup that was certainly original.
Good question !
Yea I’ve seen a few ambulance bodies with generators that were PTO driven. The 1028 ambulances seem to be the only ones that got the 205s. All slip yoke 205s
Must be in my algorithm now
I dig that one!
That was a big purchase that day from Bee Hive Surplus up in Auburn, AL off of I-65.
Appreciate ya’ Pick’n up my first D60 that day ! They were selling ANY 4x4 axle ( 10-Bolt 3.08 or D60 T/L 4,56 ) for $250.00 - our group bought all they had !
I still can’t believe how loaded down that F-100 and trailer was - correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t it a complete CUCV 1028 ( eventually your frame ), 2 or 3 TH400/208’s, 5 or 6 D60’s and a few CUCV 14-Bolts ?
Good times were upon us !
The 1028 was cab/frame/axles only, 1 loose 400/208 and several 60’s and 14 bolts piled on the 1028’s bare frame. That trailer was SWEATING! Good times! lol
