CUCV
Hi Guys:
The 1976 Chev 5/4 ton family was not the CUCV. The CUCV was the later square headlight Chevs with the diesel engine.
The US had thousands of CUCV and Canada bought a batch for the militia. They were issued in NATO camouflage while the 5/4 tons were issued in Canadian Pine Tree camouflage.
CUCVs issued in Canada had the US rifle brackets (there's another term to add to the pile) which included a large "L" shaped piece that folded over to hold the rifle in place.
The 5/4 tons originally had the brakets for the FN between the seats on that annoying bar that made sitting on a milk crate even more uncomfortable. The C7 (M16 clone) wouldn't fit the FN bracket and most were removed. As Sapper has noted, the FN brackets will hold a Lee Enfield.
Cheers! Mike
