Not during that time period. The Chevrolet Caprice and Impala were pouring out of the assembly point in Texas as police cars. That was a huge contract back in the day to build the 75,000 plus CUCV's not to mention all the state game commission and wild life vehicles. I worked at a GM dealer ship during the late 70'- 1990. the states highway departments were buying Chevrolet K30 and C30 one ton crew cab trucks and the fish and game were buying the pick ups ,Blazers , and Suburbans as fast as GM could build them. They had a shortage of drive line parts for the 1 ton trucks during the 85- 86 model year. If I remember correctly. These state trucks all had the 6.2 diesel in them also and they were selling retail models of the 6.2 as fast as we could put them on the lot. GM was booming back in them years. I am speaking for PA and the Maryland and New York area. I was in fleet sales and service at the time and we did lots of up fitting with hour meters , block heaters , water filters , halogen headlamps all kinds of up-fitting out at the end users point of delivery and at the dealership. I saw the first CUCV's arrive at the dealership in late 1983. 2 pickups and 3 blazers. They were the strangest looking vehicles when I first saw them. The color of the interior was the oddest thing at the time. I drove them on the road and thought how cool it would be to own one of these things. Now you know the rest of the story. Have a nice day. I have lots of pictures of them over the years. Most are 35 mm. I wish I could share.
, regardless of who manufactured the vehicle.
