I'm currently restoring an M1009 CUCV, aka Chevy k5 military Blazer. It's also taught me how to be a mechanic.

Chevy Square Body Trucks - Group of Enthusiast's, Thank You so much for showing, Your Impressions..... deep in wilderness - wishing could be, with You. Nice to see - as You have Your *Wolf cute brave Dog with You. Wish You *All - Camerades, 'All - time ... simply the 'Best. Greetings from Germany.

[@samleeroy5638]

I would love to see what they did to the inside of the back to make it cozy!

[@davidforsythe3037]

Excellent! Thanks for sharing. There used to be some Canadian versions around twenty years or so ago. Unfortunately, I think they fell victim to our substantial use of road salt. Ours had trussed 44’s, not Dana 60’s. Im fortunate to own an 86 K30 srw with factory 454. Respects from Canada.

[@steelmill888]

Looks like a super group of guys Got to love the ol Square Bodys my favorite truck since 1977.

[@jordanparker882]

6.2l FTW :). I have owned 2 now. My first one was an 83 i loved it and it was a tank. I ended up getting rid of it for a family friendly car... :( worst regret ever. I just recently was able to get another after many years. It is an 84 and i love it. I am keeping this one forever. I told my family they will have to bury me in it before i get rid of it.

[@MisterFuturtastic]

I have an 84 6.2 as well! Working to get it back on the road right now.

[@Manu8817]

I love these trucks. greetings from germany ;D

[@mountie816]

What an awesome video. I bought a 1986 M1010 last year. My friend helped me fix a lot of electrical problems with it last year. It only has 38,000 kilometers on it. I've installed a 12000 Warn winch and an RV furnace and built in propane tanks in it so far. It's still fully camo and I get lots of looks and questions when I drive it in the city. Thanks for posting this. please do more.

[@garydelangis2775]

88 square body suburban👍👍I love it

[@skinerkz]

Chevi rules!! T hanks guys for such nice video!! God bless you all!

[@dngrzne2404]

Love my "new" 85 m1008. Do you guys have anymore videos!? Tons of "how to" videos out there but can't find too many videos like this. Great stuff, please make more.

[@floridaoutdoors2211]

I'm looking to get a Square body Tahoe sometime next year. Love them trucks. Currently have a Rav4 as a first car. But hoping to sell it within the next year for a Square body Tahoe.

[@cjtroutt8092]

I sorry I been running the 24 volt system for 35 years I own 17 cucv and all military spec m1009 1008 1028 1010 1031 variants. The system is 12 volt 24 bolt hybrid And works perfect.

[@hammeredscout]

#Bornforadventure and #Destroyer!!!!! Your IG's are great but this video was the cats meow. Your fellow #Squarebody follower #Ppumpbowtie

[@CompBuilt]

hammeredscout what’s there ig

[@Slim_Slid]

@@CompBuilt @bornforadventure

[@Wingnut353]

The thing to do on these... is switch to a geared starter and convert entirely to 12V... headaches gone and it will still start faster than a 12V starter from the period as new starters are just better. Unless of course you wanna be correct to the original specs in which case be prepared for all the problems that come with that. I did the 12V starter conversion on my 3-53 out of a gamma goat ... it works miles better than two 24V batteries.

[@robertllawrencejr5503]

I had one of these when they were first deployed in Germany 85 ish. I could see myself using one for overlanding. My only pet peeve is people that are enthusiastic about them calling them “C U C V’s” yes, that was their nomenclature but they were called “Cut Vees”. Even so, I did enjoy the video

[@camaroman101]

Beautiful trucks

[@bowtie-man]

Y'all fellas have got some great looking rigs. Happy trails. 👍👍✌✌👊👊

[@jordanparker8359]

THIS is what its all about man! some people may never understand our passion but that's ok!

[@pacos5971]

Hey! I have M1009 in Germany! I Love my truck and i like your videos! Grüße aus Deutschland! Greetings from germany and God bless

[@Slim_Slid]

I came across Garret after I had gotten my hands on two M1009 CUCV's a few years ago.He follows me on Instagram,great guy,Patriotic,and badass in any way,the crusty rigs he gets to see every day are a dream land.

[@colbyw917]

I gotta 88’ k5 blazer sbc 350 but love cucv’s. Would love to make mine that desert tan, it’s my first truck, and will probably be my last until the frame gives up.

[@pfcthomasblackhawk1100]

If God Ever blessed me with a M-1009 Imma look y’all up. (My wife Evelyn and I ) God Bless y’all.

[@jimmychanbers2424]

I want to hear some Detroit diesel. Great video.

[@jondowney777]

I agree with the whole nature thing. I love the woods..

[@mattfogarty5868]

[@dustinLenn]

Matt Fogarty ive got the 79 with sm465 & np205, nice rigs!

[@JuanHerrera-co3wc]

Must be nice to have a k series truck I only got a c30 and a c25 what's your guys opinion on converting a k 4x4?

[@backcountryoverland103]

Very sweet rigs. Cool Vid. Love it! Will share on my outdoor FB page.

[@wtdyjimjam]

right on its cool to see other poeple rocking the cucv's . respek

[@nathankoroush7918]

those are some very cool trucks.

[@dannav1635]

Bitchin....where are those trails you guys were on and are any of those rigs gas driven?

[@williamevans461]

Dan Nav unless they swapped it, nope. 6.2l diesel were stock on most if not all of them

[@DareTheMachine]

How do you deal with emissions in California? I want to move out for work but I'd have to sink so much money into trying to make my 85 k10 emissions compliant.

[@andrewerickson6690]

It's over 25 years old it's exempt

[@pra3t0rian]

Andrew Erickson not true in California. Only gas vehicles 1975 and older are exempt. Diesel vehicles 97 and older don’t have to be smogged either. I believe the rigs in this vid are all diesels.

[@Slim_Slid]

@@pra3t0rian They are CUCV's,the M1008 to M1031 from 1984 to 1987 are all Diesel,they have the 6.2L V8.

[@shawnmancebo1217]

If you bring a vehicle into California and register you may not have to smog it depending on year ,gross vehicle weight ,dmv personal. etc, , but the dmv, highway patrol local police department can make you smog your vehicle at any time if they want to, its a law they can enforce this, remember you are exempt from by annual smog, but but not removing it, they can go way back to 1966,they also do road side smog inspection which they can pull over anyone at anytime. But they like to target newer modified diesels, and if it not correct a fine. And you get your toy towed away with more fines. Hope this help. Most cops don't enforce this , but theres a reason I know......

[@pennsylvaniahillbilly3817]

I wish i knew where yinz are id go with you i have a 85 cucv would love to join yinz

[@keithyoungman7750]

I’m a 17 yr old and I’m in love with these trucks, I have a truck already but when I found one of these I fell in love and i might be selling my truck for one soon

[@andrewburtschin7784]

livin the dream

[@davidjardenil8393]

Good if we have this in our Philippine armed forces because this will go a long way in transporting our troops, delivery of medicines, carry food bags and even water to our troops in the battlefield. Sell this to our Philippine armed forces they might likethe versatility and durability of this SUV.

[@albertodiazpr]

Great video guys! Love your trucks, they bring me good memories of my military years! Keep going out and exploring. Hooah!

[@gcodemetalworks9138]

[@oldcroneysgarage9739]

You might have a short in the wire check your wiring

[@coast.cutter7552]

Lol. My wife lived in Hemet when we met.

[@endureandoconmondaydash1095]

2wd squarebody is off road cappable with locker and 35 tyres?

[@Iceaxehikes]

Agree.

[@TheManfromNibiru]

That's a truck !

[@Pvianna99]

So if you want something reliable you need a Toyota. Chevy isn't as reliable as Toyota's, my friends tlc has 300k miles and he only changed oil and water, no electrics involved or something expensive

[@777syndrome]

Chevy ,most dependable longest lasting full size pickup truck on the road .

[@JuanHerrera-co3wc]

I love Toyotas but they got no power and they bust head gaskets easily Chevy big blocks is where it's at

[@dylansnyder7757]

I've owned a 1993 toyota pickup, a 1984 toyota tercel wagon and a 1984 Chevy K10 and i think it's safe to say that they all have their issues.

[@Slim_Slid]

The only Toyota/Scion that are reliable are their cars.My daily driver was a 2010 Scion TC and it had 212K Miles on it before I got rid of it,and it was one beat up car.Hell,that car was the one I got my first Felony in when I got pulled over for going 105 MPH on a 40 Speed Limit Road.As for their trucks,I had a Tacoma and it was nice,but it was not as bulletproof as any 1982 to 1991 GM Truck I have owned.I would gladly take a CUCV over that.The 6.2L V8 and 6.5L V8 were the best Diesel Engines from General Motors,the Oldsmobile 307 and LLY/LB7 Duramax belong at the junkyard.The 305,350,and 454 are nice Engines,but they are Gas Hogs.

[@lilcrazyjoe27]

i don't think its easy to compare the toyota to the full size chevys, if your gonna haul a unit like hes got on the back i would go chev, if i was a small canopy tent build, then toyota or i would lean more toward jeep, but like you said they do all have there issues hahah its all about what issue your more ready to deal with
