    M1007 - CUCV Suburban Clone Build Thread

    Last I checked there are a few company's still making that rear bumper minus the black out lights & tie down points. Fey is one of them.

    How to spot 1028 vs 1008

    Yes for the most part. I have heard of a few that didn't but it sounded like they had been repaired in the service & for one reason or another it didn't get put back in.

    How to spot 1028 vs 1008

    glaser06 no offense taken. All trucks have the locker in the rear, blazers have gov bomb, a lot of the 1028's have the 208.

    How to spot 1028 vs 1008

    glaser06 If that was directed at me, I'm very familiar with the 205, 4 out of 5 of my cucv trucks have them. I meant in this thread about how to spot an m1008 or m1028 ? Yes the a1 has it but I think they are more rare than the a2 & a3's. Probably the the fastest way to identify an m1028 is...

    How to spot 1028 vs 1008

    No problem. Depending on what your plans are for the truck, it might not really matter. Example I have an m1028 that I lifted & replaced rear springs with lift springs. Now the factory over loads are useless. I could have done the same thing with an m1008.

    How to spot 1028 vs 1008

    IF those are stock it's an m1008. Look on the outside of the frame rails for over load brackets.

    That burb looks GREAT. The truck rear bumper looks so much better than the m1009 bumper does.

    How to spot 1028 vs 1008

    Doors are easily changed, look for the over loads or data tag on cab.

    How to spot 1028 vs 1008

    Majority of the m1028's are still single rear wheel. Just because it has duals on the rear doesn't mean it's an m1028. I have seen m1008's converted to duals by the service. 3 easiest ways to tell are 1 rear over loads 2 vin # 3 nsn #

    Barrman Have you considered going with larger lines ? I know the earlier lines were 5/16 then 3/8 & I believe the current lines are 1/2in now.

    Rich Thanks, I went back & read what he was talking about. Ive never heard of the "long tube adapter" Looks like I've got more research to do. Thanks for posting.

    Rich Are you talking about the rear output bushing area ? There is a small plug that is different between 2wd & 4wd trans. Its for fluid access to the output bushing. The 2wd version has a hole for fluid to pass thru, 4wd one hole is plugged. If not please explain.
