1984 M1008 with a 10 bolt? an 208?

[Ben D.]

This is my frist CUCV and I've read everything on SS on the M1008. I'm confused though, My M1008 has a 208 and A 10 Bolt front diff with a 14Bolt rear and everywhere I look it says that my truck should have a Dana 60. Is mine just an odd ball or did some lucky guy steal the 60 before I got to her?
Any feed back would be awsome. Thank you.

208 is factory, someone swiped the 60F. Welcome to the rabble

Thats what I was gessing thank you though

60 fronts are as valuable as the truck. dont suprise. sorry about the luck

Doesn't the diff cover an a Dana 60 have 10 bolts too? If the Dana 60 was changed for a half ton GM 10 bolt wouldn't the rims have less then 8 lug nuts holding them on?

As mentioned already the NP208 is the normal transfer case. The NP205 was used but only in a couple models of CUCV's.

The GM 10 bolt was used in 20 series trucks with 8 bolt wheels in the 80's and late 70's along with Dana 44.

Yeah, verify that's a 10 bolt before you start sulking. Should have a big 60 stamped into one of the webs near the diff.
