Well they ended (that body style) in 1987. I BELIEVE CUCV's started in 1983. As for numbers i've never heard of the total number, but I have read that there were around 300 M1028A2's and A3's.

Produced in model years 84 thru 87. Some early 84s have a production date of 83. As far as numbers, I've never been able to find a breakdown on the number of each style of CUCV produced.

Found this in just a few minutes with a Google search. Tons of interesting info came up. No clue if it's correct(gotta love the Internet)

CUCVs were built from ’83-86 and GM produced some 70,000 of them for the military. For the past several years, GM Defense has been working over the newest GM trucks as CUCV-II and CUCV-III units for a new generation

Only 70,000 that meanes that they may be worth something someday

Does anyone have a 1987 CUCV that has a build date in 1987? Or did the shut down the factory real early to retool for the new 1988 body style (Other then the K5 Blazer that stayed until 1991)?

I personally have seen one made at the end of 1986 (but was an 87 model year).

there is 87 ones. trying to sell one and cut 2 up

Not only the blazer but burbs and crew cabs continued with the R-V Body style until 1991.

To avoid the confusion that there seems to be, the CUCV model years are 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987. They were manufactured from fall 1983 to fall of 1986 per what is posted at Wikipedia. Model years production always starts the year before in the fall, so for example a 2011 is currently manufactured in 2010. I had two 1987 CUCV, one was manufactured 8/86 and other 9/86.

I was just wondering if there were any 1987 models manufactured in 1987 or was the factory shut down in lets say December 1986 to re-tool for the major changes in the 1988.

My 1028 is an 84...

 

[b framer]

Mine was 9/86

 

[Stihl029]

from what I have found there were 7,925 m1028's ordered in contracts from 1982 till 1988.

When a M1028 was delivered was it outfitted with the shelter carrier hardware or was that installed with the shelter. In other words were M1028's all built as shelter carriers first?

At first I was a little confused about my current 0h-nine. It's an 86 with a build date of 9/85. Only three months after my last oh-nine was built, 7/85. And I figured thats what the deal with the date was about......But thanks for the clairification guys.
How many do you think out of the 70k built that are still on the road?? Would be interesting to see.....and thats including the ones still being used by the services.
