1985 Chevrolet CUCV
Wyatts' Wildling
Genuine military issue, still wearing its unit numbers. The only build here that left the factory this colour.
The Story
The Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle was Chevrolet's contract answer to the military wanting a truck any motor pool could keep alive.
The camouflage and the unit markings are how it served, and they stay. Everything else is up for discussion. The glass and the interior are done and the batteries are next, so the next question is whether it runs.
The Weird Part
Every other vehicle on this list was built for a road. This one was built for somewhere nobody wanted to be sent.
Build Log
Glass in, interior done, batteries next
The back window is restored and back in the truck, and the inside has been vacuumed and detailed. The batteries are bought and waiting: once they are wired up, we turn it over.
