I only have one Cubietruck available for testing purposes.
I have 2 - 4 Cubieboard2 units.
To date, all of my work has been on this one Cubietruck. If I had an image for the Cubieboard2, I would put those into play.
For example, I need a DNS server for my Samba development. I have that running on a F22 C2 right now. If I had a C2 image to work with, I would spin that up to replace F22.
I did see that there was a successful test on the C2, but nowhere to get the image.
Though if I DO spin up more platforms, I am going to have to get another Anker multi-port power supply:

I see they have come down $6 since I bought one last October. These work great in powering 5 Cubieboards each. But DON'T plug in a phone as well, or the smart logic will reduce the Amps to the Cubieboards to 1A which is bad.
If I had a C2 image to work with, I would spin that up to replace F22.
The only difference between the image for Cubietruck and the image for Cubieboard2 is the u-boot. I haven't tried this (as I don't have a Cubieboard2), but you should be able to use rbfinstaller.py from the rbf github repo to install the Cubietruck image on to a microSD card which would be usable on Cubieboard2. Just select Cubieboard2 from the boards list presented by rbfinstaller.py
You can do this on your desktop. git clone https://github.com/mndar/rbf.git ./rbfinstaller.py <path-to-image.img> <microSD-device>
Another option; you can just overwrite u-boot on the microSD with the one for Cubieboard2 The u-boot used by RBF for Cubieboard2 is here https://github.com/mndar/rbf/tree/master/files/cubieboard2 Write it to your microSD using this command. Assuming /dev/sdd is your microSD device
dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdd bs=1024 seek=8 conv=fsync,notrunc
Let us know if it works.

I did the clone. Did it download an image file? If so what do I use, Johnny's cubietruck-centos-image.img?

I use to do this a lot with Han's personal uboots when he was getting functions working in uboot during the F22 beta. So I should be able to do this.

Did this with the image and specified cubieboard2. On the serial console I see:

and so forth. :( Now what?
Oh, and my F22 mSD card starts with:
