Most CUCVs had a 208 from the factory. Only the heaviest duty ones came with the 205.

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 by the rear overload springs.

Yeah, it was. It sounded like you were asking what the 205 was, no offense. That's how I have ID'ed them in the past (because I find the 205, rear locker, and limited slip up front more valuable). Never knew about the overload springs, thought they all had them except the blazers.

If you are looking at the VIN, the 1008 will start out 1GCGD and the 1028 will start out 1GCHD.

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

Yep, knew that. Am I correct in thinking all 205 equipped ones have limited slip in the front?

All versions of the M1028 has the front LSD, as well as The M1031 and m1010

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.

M1008A1 and the M1010 usually don't have LSD in the front. Of course there are always exceptions. The M1008A1 does have the NP205 transfer case.

M1008a1 does NOT have the NP205 transfer case, has a 208 just like the m1008
M1008a1 has a communications kit.

FYI SS Members. GM offered overload springs on single rear wheel K30's. The overload springs was option number G60 and you could get it with single rear wheel trucks. I do not know much, ( that is why I have no Friends ) but I have a 1981 K30, ( I took a photo of the RPO sticker with the phone, uploaded it to the PC and get error invalid url when I try to upload to site. ) option code G60 = main and auxiliary R; RO4 = single rear wheels. If the RPO sticker would upload I wanted to point out the engine, option number L25 = 4.8liter (292 ci) **MFD IN Mexico** in 1981.

Brain and fingers weren't on the same page. LOL I had meant to write M1028A1. Sucks to be old.

Interesting. Got me looking at my 10??.By the VIN it is a 1028 but the door data plate shows 1008. It doeshave the frame perches but does not have the extra spring. It isstill a cool good running truck what ever it is.
