Default CUCVs in Canadian Use

Here is an image of the M1010 CUCV Ambulance when it was first delivered to Petawawa in the late 1980s, as you will see, it is in the NATO three-colour camouflage.



Here is a CUCV cab that has been mated to a Canadian Chevrolet Van complete with the two different camouflage styles. I bet no-one would believe this at a MV show.

Interesting, it is indeed the earlier 5/4 gas van body. The CUCV van bodies were almost identical, but had square edges at the top. When we were getting rid of the 2 fleets in the mid 90s, we were advised that none of the early bodies were to be sold (they went to CORCAN for rebuild and installation onto the LSVWs, ) but the later CUCV bodies were to be sold.

I have one of the CUCV bodies waiting for me when I get back home, which I will be installing onto an early gas 5/4 ton, so I will in effect be doing the opposite of the truck pictured. I will, however, be matching the paint scheme to the Cdn pattern.
