Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE For Sale: 1984 Chevy M1008 1 1/4 Ton Military Truck and 1 1/2 Ton Cargo Trailer. First, the truck has been owned by the military until just a few years ago, and has just over 50,800 miles (not a misprint) on the GM 6.2 Diesel. This diesel is very durable and starts right up, even in the coldest weather. I have added a removable block heater that plugs in on the really cold days. This is a very strong truck, I have towed the trailer seen in these pics while it was full of two pallets of ceramic tile, and you could not hardly tell the trailer was back there. I have also towed a pallet of hardwood flooring in the bed of the M1008 that bottomed my F150 ( I did not even drop the full weight into the F150 before I had them take it out), but did not even move the M1008. This truck does not have a radio or AC, (the military kept it strictly functional), but the heater works well. In addition to the truck, I am also including my 1 1/2 ton trailer seen in the picture. This trailer is in excellent condition and I cannot imagine what you would not be able to tow with this heavy duty cargo trailer (the original sticker price the military paid for this cargo trailer is over $8,000). The trailer is wired for the military 24 volt system, which is still operational (along with the 12 volt wiring) on the truck. The trailer was purchased directly from the military and has a separate title from the truck. I am only looking to sell both truck and trailer together as you would really need this heavy duty ability of the truck to take advantage of this heavy duty trailer. PLEASE CALL ME AT 417-693-3022 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO COME SEE THE TRUCK AND TRAILER. Thank you. Here are some of the specs and history on this truck: The GM CUCVs were produced in the 1984-86 time period (mostly 1984) and were powered by 6.2L Detroit Diesel V8 engine. The GM CUCVs were assembled mostly from the heaviest duty bits and pieces from the light commercial truck lines. The CUCVs came in three basic body styles, a pickup, a utility and an ambulance body. The M1008 was the basic cargo truck, the M1010 was the ambulance and the M1009 3/4 ton utility rig, which was a stripped Blazer uprated to 3/4-ton capacity. With the exception of the M1009, the trucks were all rated as 1-1/4 ton (commonly called a “five-quarter”), even though some of them had payloads in excess of that. All the CUCVs were powered by GM’s 6.2L J-series Detroit Diesel V8 engine non-emissions diesel. These were rated at 155 hp (116 kW) and 240 lb·ft (325 N·m), which was 5 hp (3.7 kW) more than the emissions diesel engine of the time. They were all equipped with the TH-400 automatic. All but the M1028A1 and M1031 used the NP-208 chain drive transfer case. The M1008 trucks used open Dana 60 front axles. In the rear, the M1008s used the GM 10.5-inch (270 mm) 10.5" Corporate 14 Bolt Differential with No-Spin lockers (the commercial trade name for the Detroit Locker). Axle gear ratios were 4.56:1. As with other military vehicles, the CUCVs used a 24-volt electrical system. It was actually a hybrid 12/24-volt system that used 24-volts under the hood, complete with dual 100 amp alternators, the mandatory NATO slave receptacle for jump starting any NATO vehicle, and hookups for military radios. The rest of the truck was 12-volt. I HAVE CONVERTED THE LIGHTS TO A 12 VOLT SYSTEM AND HAVE ADDED 12 VOLT WIRING TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.
