Did all the mid to late 80's diesel military chevy trucks come with a 60/14 set up under them or did some have a 44 under the front

all i have seen are 3/4ton so that should be a 60.

The trucks had the 60, and the Blazer had the 10 bolt. If either one have a 44 it was swapped....And they are ton and a quarter....

Yep, all the srw CUCV trucks (1008) had the 60/14 combo w/4.56 gears and a detroit out back. The DRW trucks (1028) were 60/70, they're mostly 4.56 gears but there was alot of the DRW trucks that got switched to 3.73 gears.

The blazers were 10 bolts front and rear.

wrong.


3/4t would be 10b front and 14bsf rear.\


1t and "1-1/4t" are 60/14bff

all i have seen are 3/4ton so that should be a 60.

I think you mean 5/4T CUCV?

Yeah, the whole 1 1/4 ton is some military bullshit. There is no difference between a 1008 and a civilian SRW 1 ton.

Except...CUCVs used a 24-volt electrical system.....which was actually a hybrid 12/24-volt system that used 24-volts under the hood, the rest of the truck was 12V.

what ones had a locker in the back? theres a chevy pickup that use to be a military truck thats for sale where i work. the only problem is that its yellow.

All the trucks had Detroits, the Blazers got the grenade lock IIRC.

Just to clarify a bit.
The only Component that actually used 24V on the M1008 through M1031 was the starter so they could be compatible with other M series trucks like the M52 ,M54 through the M800 series and the M900 series when assistance in starting the CUCV and or the CUCV starting the other M Series trucks.

A large resistor was hung on the firewall to drop down the voltage for the other components of the truck.

The CUCV's also used 2 100A Alternators. One charging each battery.

Here is an online manual that tells all about servicing the CUCV series of trucks including information on the front and rear differentials.

A more detailed description of what I said....thanks, it is more clear than 24V under hood and the remainder of the truck being 12V.

Thanks for all the info

what does srw , drw and cucv's stand for and what are the key differences?

what does srw , drw and cucv's stand for and what are the key differences?

SRW = Single Rear Wheel

DRW = Dual Rear Wheel

CUCV = Commercial Utilty Cargo Vehicle

1028's and 1031 had over load leaf on rear,and ltd. slip front 60's,but all had 60's up front ,5/4 is military metric scale
