Vin listed starts out as a 1979 D200. The weight indicates 2wd.
Actual M880's were 1976 & 1977 model years only. All were military rated as a 1-1/4 ton. (although just a 3/4 ton)

Looking for what spacers people have used for humvee wheels on the CUCV, have compared where the tire sits on std pickup wheels & not having the tires rub. The thinnest spacer I have found for the 8 lugs is 1.5". So that is likely what I'll use instead of the 2" spacers that I have.
I've had M880's for 20 years, several of them. Have not had an issue with a booster yet.

Having owned multiple M880 series trucks & their civilian W200 cousins since 2004. I have learned quite a bit about these trucks.
The M880 is a Dodge W200 all axles, springs, shocks etc. are standard Dodge W200 parts.
The W200 has a 8000lb GVW, the curb weight of the empty truck is listed at...
Those hood cutouts are not on any of my M880 series trucks.
However, my 1978 Air Force contract W400 has those cutouts. 78 was the last year for the birdbath hoods.
As was mentioned above, it ain't nothing but a 76/77 W200 non egr due to the 8,000# gvw
the factory payload of a W200 is 2500lbs...
