I looking at a government auction. The 5/4 ton pickups are going for decent $$$, but the Blazers "carryall" don't even have a opening bid yet. Since they are rated at 5/4 ton as well, I would guess these have the Dana 60s too? Is there something I'm missing? Maybe they don't have the 4.56 gears?

I don't see why they don't go for more cash. I really only want a few trucks for parts. Mostly the 60's and part out the rest of the truck.

the CUCV blazers have the same half ton axles as the civilian ones..

But the description says they are 5/4 ton weight rating. Maybe there was a typo on a few of them.

got a link to the ad? i got a 85 cucv and alls it is a camo paint job with no carpet and comes with 10 bolts with 3.08 gears

The military has a jacked up weight sysem, the same way a 1008 CUCV truck is just a SRW 1 ton. It'll have the 60/14, 6.2, th400, np208. The 1028 dually is a DRW 60/hd70, 6.2, th400, np205. If I were buying one I'd look for either an ambulance or "contact" (tool) truck. They're the some as a 1008 only they have the 205 and a hurst PTO set up to run a generator. That's really all I can remember right of hand.
A 1009 blazer is a just a 1/4 ton blazer, F/R 10bolts w/3.08 , 6.2, th350, np208, nothing really special about them. Search around here, it's been discussed a few times.

Only 1 ad said 5/4 ton, all the rest say 1/4 ton. All of the CUCV are rated 5/4 ton which will be dana 60s. They are selling for about $1100 each with a few days remaining in the auction. I was hoping to bring a few of these home next weekend.
