cuc-v · 11-05-2006, 08:03 PM

well what can i say...i waited too long and my post expired...anyway;

recap:
when i got the truck it had all stock components(6.2,th400,np208...)but shit for axles(3/4ton 10b front,1/2ton d44 rear) it was worth the 700bucks though.

downfalls;

-axles
-turned over but didnt start
-no keys
-rear driveline bent to hell and back
-batts. wouldnt hold a charge for more that a week
-lots of surface rust
-one blackout light missing
-and a truck bed full of crap

goodies;

-three new tires
-all new injecters
-excellent inteirior
-and a full tank of gass

notice the 31''s in rear...those things were bald as hell, my buddy got 3 wires from one of them stuck in his hand!

my buddy for some reason thot it was a good idea to lift the front end off the ground a couple INCHES ''so the batts. wouldnt drain as easily''!

rcurrier44 · 11-06-2006, 08:20 AM

So someone stole the good axles from the truck and sold it to you with some junk basterd axles and a non running engine for 700$ ?????

I'm sorry but I think you got the bad end of that deal...

7thgear · 11-06-2006, 08:29 AM

Damn, I would have to sit down and think about it if I would even take that thing for free.

bggrnchvy · 11-06-2006, 08:53 AM

I found your problem, you have a 6.2L deisel and you have a full tank of gas

Jeepermat · 11-06-2006, 09:05 AM

Didnt those come with 60 front and 14b rear?

Randomquikfingrs · 11-06-2006, 09:31 AM

Yes they did, but this certainly isnt the first one I have seen sold this way.

cuc-v · 11-06-2006, 06:23 PM

you guys are fucking impatient...

the first thing to do was get it running, all it took was 10 minutes and a new relay board. after that a new fuel filter, batteries, oil, air cleaner, and door locks.

and i needed a new rear axle...so i made a few calls and got a hook up with my buddy in watsonville had a 14bff sittin around and said i could have it. so i got the new one bolted in...

man those fuckin u-bolts are a bitch!

Jeepermat · 11-06-2006, 08:14 PM

So whats the story with the front?
Did it get robbed?

cuc-v · 11-06-2006, 09:54 PM

no...no d60 yet, i should probly tel you all now that that i just turned 16 i go to school full time and have just a weekend job so basically only the stuff thats manditory is getting done at this point. but i am working on getting one, theres this guy i know who has several cucv's laying around all parted out and im sure he will cut me a deal because i am buying 37x12.5's and rims off him too.

SouthernK5 · 11-07-2006, 10:16 AM

what gears does the 14b have? thats important to know. if they no matchy, you aint got 4wd...for long at least.

cuc-v · 11-07-2006, 11:41 AM

i no the rear is 4.56...but im not sure about the front, i am gunna check it out on thursday but i doubt it will be the same!

Prerunner1982 · 11-07-2006, 04:38 PM

if its cucv dana 60, it will have 4.56s as well.

ccatlett1984 · 11-07-2006, 04:41 PM

you got a good starter platform, I just put a 6" superlift kit on mine and am loving it. have you been on www.steelsoldiers.com yet? we have a great group of guys that can help you diagnose any issues with the truck. (and you wont get flack for asking simple questions, like other forums :hint :hint)

ElkyRacer · 11-07-2006, 05:28 PM

Excuse the hell out of me, I thought you were referring to the D60 you were trying to get. If its a M1009 10bolt it will have 3.08 gears... Genius!

I dought its a M1009 10 bolt because those were all 6-lug...not 3/4 ton "... Genius!

"

Did the 14bolt you picked up have a detroit in it?

I'm sorry but I don't get why these things are getting so spendy...the only thing that makes them special is the D60 in the front and detroit in the rear. Everything else is just like the stock chevy stuff that you can pick up for free from a farmers field....

Damn bro!!!! You beat me to the punch. That would certainly cause him some "issues"....

1967K10 · 11-08-2006, 04:54 PM

I know where a couple are/were. One was pretty well canibalized but still had the motor and axles and the other was a driver with 60K. They guy wanted $3000 for the pair. I can find the # if need . I know where there's a 84' K30 454/465/205. Motor needs rebuilt and body is rough. No rust.

the 14b was off a cucv....and it beats the hell out of me why they are so expensive! they are coveted or something i guess...the reason i got mine is because 3 of my freinds have them, i guess you could call it a group thing.

But there is absolutely nothing special about them once you take away the front 60 and Detroit'd 14-bolt............

cuc-v · 11-09-2006, 12:34 PM

certain cucv's have posi front and 205 cases and some even came with A/C...but as far as the regulare ones go im not sure like i said ''coveted''!

Like I just said, take the axles away and there goes the posi front (most people don't want a Trac-lok diff anyway for off-roading), and it's not like a CUCV is the only model Chevy truck that ever came with a 205 t-case.
