I'm uncertain what you are looking for? Are you unsure if it's a CUCV or a specific model?

If you are trying to buy parts it is pretty much an 84' K30 diesel except for the starting and charging sustem.

If u think its military post the vin# in the 2013 vin thred!

 

[dependable]

Post some pictures, that will help.

Validate the VIN yourself. I don't think #'s HF #'s is military. Could be wrong, it might be USAF or USN. If it is FF then it is Army and I have a record for it.

This is why I say to validate the frame numbers.

The VIN is missing a number. You only listed 16 digits.

Looking up the info in the LMC Truck catalog you have a 1987 Chevy 1 ton truck. The "D" in the fifth digit says it is military . The "G" in the forth digit indicates it is more than likely a M1008.

i took another look and ive only got 16 in my vin, dash matches and so does glovebox.

this thread was helpful... its definetly military and not an M1028 so, 1987 M1008 it is.

 

[Skinny]

Yup...looks like another CUCV

Who cares what it is, RUN IT!

Post up a photo of the interior dash and under the hood so we can see if it looks stock or cannibalized.

I think someone stole a character from your VIN. I would be interested in seeing the VIN tag up on the dash behind the windshield. It would be tough to title here with a missing character. All the numbers in the VIN check out to be a 1987 M1008. There is certainly a character missing from the production sequence number. Have you checked the VIN tag up under the glass?

Looks like a GL CUCV. Door dent is a dead giveaway...

Driveshaft bent also?

G indicates 8001-9000 gvw.
H is 1987 model year.
F indicates built in Flint.

 

[Warthog]

If it was built in Flint, MI I would assume it would be a 17 digit VIN. Wonder if it was exported directly to Canada.

 

[speedmachine]

shaft wasnt bent, door dent was a previous owner addition. would love to have more infor ation about where it served. not sure if theres anyway to find that out.

 

[Warthog]

Seventeen digits. You left out one of the nines in the first post.

1987 M1008

As stated earlier, CARNAC may be able to find some info if it was US Army.

Pull up the 2013 VIN Info thread. Be sure to read and follow the instructions in the first thread

 

[CARNAC]

Go to the 2013 vin info thread before it closes. Don't PM me unless you want to make the bad santa list.

87 was the last yr for the cucv I truck. the first truck in that yr would have hf300000 built around 8-86. of all the 87's ive heard about in the us ive never seen a sequencial number over 320000 with a build date of 9-86. i think this was an export truck built later in the model yr. what does the data plate say about production date? thanks, mark

 

[speedmachine]

sadly it has no data plate whatsoever and all the stencils are long gone. all i have is a vin number.

 

[Warthog]

I looked up the truck at www.compnine.com. It does show that it is a military truck. (one of the few that does show up). Sadly it doesn't show the build date.

I'll pull the report again and send it to you.

The Compnine site lists all the RPO codes for vehicles. I use it quite often so I bought a membership.
