No, all were 6.2 diesel.

There are some crewcabs & blazers (navy) that had 350 gas engines but do not have the "M" designation.

okay then that means he replaced it with a petrol engine instead of a diesel, it,s a dually, steel transfer case wih a fixed yoke at the rear ,Dana 60 front and rear axles??) next week i,m gonna look for it. al the extra info from this site is welcome !!!!!

thanks Colonel/86m1028 (i like this , as a former Dutch soldier)

If it has a steel (cast) case then it is probably an NP205 gear driven t-case. Which personally I think is better than the NP208 which is the standard in CUCVs. If it has a bed on it then it is either a converted M1031 or an M1028a2. I am not 100%, but it may have a Dana 70 rear or the standard 14 bolt set up as a dually. It will have a limited slip in the front axle and an automatic locker in the rear axle. A gas engine would be swapped in, and if done right would not be terrible as it may provide more hp and torque. If you end up getting this ride, take pics so we can see your new toy. Good luck and welcome aboard.

Not saying it didnt come with a 205 but if has a fixed yoke 205, it was swapped also or converted. The 205 equiped trucks came with a slip yoke (reg cabs).

The M1031 was single-wheel with a NP205 (cast iron case) transfer case. This was the cab and chassis version. Most got made into contact trucks with a big boxy workshop on the back. Some (like mine) got converted into M1028A1's. All this entailed was adding a pickup bed to the back. The M1028A2 (which it sounds like you might be looking at) was a dually that still had the NP205 transfer case, but had a Dana 70 HD rear axle as opposed to the GM full float 14-bolt. The M1010 was the ambulance version. It had a NP208 (aluminum case) transfer case. To the best of my knowledge, all the CUCV's whether they came with a NP208 or NP205 transfer case, had a slip yoke. From the sounds of it, somebody swapped in a NP205 without the slip yoke or at a minimum, added a slip yoke eliminator (SYE) kit to the truck.
