usually they say in the description, but its easy to tell a m1009 from a m1008.

isnt m1028 a contact maintenance truck?

M1008 will have a G in 4th digit of serial #, M1028 will have an H, M1031 will have a B in the 3rd digit instead of a C.

but is it a 1008 ?

Unlikely, not with that low GVW, M1008 should be a "G"

I don't think that VIN is correct, or if it IS, then I don't think it's a CUCV.

Copied from the CUCV FAQ:

How to decode your vin number:

1st digit = Nation of Origin
-- 1 = USA

2nd digit = company
-- G = General Motors

3rd digit = division
-- B = Chevrolet, incomplete example contract maintenance trucks
-- C = Chevy Truck
-- 8 = Multipurpose Vehicle All M1009's (blazers)

4th digit = GVWR/Brake System
-- E = 6001 - 7000 Hydraulic
-- F = 7001 - 8000
-- G = 8001 - 9000
-- H = 9001 - 10000

5th digit = Line Description & Chassis Type
-- C = 2 Wheel Drive 1981-86
-- K = 4 Wheel Drive 1981-86
-- D = military 4/4

6th digit = Series
-- 1 = 1/2 ton
-- 2 = 3/4 ton
-- 3 = 1 ton

7th digit = Body Type
-- 4 = 2 Door Cab
-- 8 = Blazer

8th digit = Engine Description
-- J = 6.2L V8 Diesel

9th digit = character is a check digit to verify VIN accuracy using a mathematical formula

10th digit = Model Year
-- B = 1981 F = 1985
-- C = 1982 G = 1986
-- D = 1983 H = 1987
-- E = 1984

11th digit = assembly plant
-- F = Flint

From all the pictures its a cucv it has the motor the interior and the bed in side is still green maybe the vin is wrong it has the 14ff in the rear i can post up pics if u want

Definitely a CUCV, I don't know how to tell if it is a M1008 or a M1028 without looking at the VIN/data plate, I suspect GL has the VIN number noted wrong.

It looks like it was painted tan with a camper shell or troop seats installed

 

[Cucvnut]

When i get it form GL ill post the vin
