Todd,
Just a quick note to welcome you to the world of MVs. It can be frustrating
as hell, but overall it's a wonderful hobby/interest/obsession.
Prepare/gird yourself for the people, half of whom are serious, that'll
offer you a $100 on your $50 surplus "jeep" ! They can get ugly when a $50
profit is declined.
Thankfully, people bitten by the MV bug are as a firm rule friendly and
helpful.

PS Google ( http://www.google.com ) is your best friend. Set it as your
homepage. Until you start digging, you cannot believe the information out
there ! As an example:
The military Blazer is a CUCV. "CUCV"
http://www.google.com/search?num=50&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=CUCV
CARC is the type of paint used on modern MVs. "CARC paint"

Subject: [MV] First military vehicle, and your help is appreciated.
I've recently won an auction and will be obtaining a 1984 Chevy Blazer
6.2 diesel, 4x4.
I'm interested in restoring its original shape as a military vehicle.
I'd like to know if anybody has great resources for paint and parts to
replace/repair its current condition to as new as possible. I will be a
weekend driver for me. I live in the North East so local contacts are
always appreciated. Also, are there additional clubs, forum's,
resources out there I can bounce ideas off of? Last question is the
title for this truck. My understanding is that is being sold from the
military with a SF97? Is this similar to a bill of sale, and is it
difficult to work with DMV to obtain a title and road plates? Other
there other options to consider. Thank you in advance.
