Identifying CUCV's - let's get this straight.

[AJMBLAZER]

How about a sticky perhaps?

Was just perusing the classifieds and was dismayed to find two of the recently listed CUCV's incorrectly identified. Errors in the ads not withstanding both had the M series number wrong.

This is a M1008 pickup:

RE: Identifying CUCV

Okay folks, if you have a good shot of your M1009 Blazer, M1028A2 dually, M1031 shop truck, M1010 ambulance, etc please add it here. We obviously have some folks around here that need educating.

Here's my 1986 M1009 (Chevy Blazer / GMC Jimmy SUV)

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Let's try and keep it to one picture of each model and have the trucks as stock looking as possible. Your truck might be cool on 6" of lift and 38's but that's probably not what the military was driving.

My old M1028A3. M1028A2 is visually the same.

 

[CUCVFAN]

Basically: NP208 (A3) versus NP205 (A2)
M1028A3 is a converted M1028
M1028A2 is a converted M1028A1

More than one M1031

Again, collected from e-bay or elsewhere

Please note, especially for the shop trucks, IIRC from my engineer unit, the model M1031 is actually the chassis, with the shop box tagged as "Shop Equipment, Contact Maintenance, Truck Mounted" or SECMTM.

This one for the M1010

This is a pretty good shot of a M1010

This was on FLMVPA website. Hope they don't mind. It's a beautiful example of a M1010 ambulance.

The "long" box on that contact maintenance truck is actually the body off of a Dodge M887 contact maintenance truck. They were originally equiped with a gas powered welder.

Here is a picture of my 1028, before my modifications.

Whats the Differance between a 1028 and 1008???

 

[CCATLETT1984]

the m1028 has a traction-aid (limited slip) in the front axle, the 1008 does not (open differential)
several of the m1028 models (a1 and a2 i think) also had the np205 gear to gear transfer case, 1008 has the chain driven np208

 

[GM72K10]

1028s also have helper springs, higher gvw, 9400 vs 8800 (M100, although my M1028a1 has 9200 gvw on it. M1028 has NP208, M1028a1 has NP205.

 

[yellowk20]

thanks mine must be a 1028 A1 because it has a NP205 and mine

 

[CUCVFAN]

M1028A1 is a converted M1031, which is why it has the 9200 GVW instead of 9400. The A2/A3 are 10,120 GVW.
