M1028A2 question

[cameron8757]

These are the plates inside the door jam. What does it mean the truck was built as a single wheel and converted to a dually later? I'm not familiar with the 1028 trucks.

These are a 5/4th truck. That means it's a 1.25 ton truck. Was made to carry a Shelter in side the bed. The cool thing about these trucks is that they a locker in the rear diff and a limited slip in the front diff. Mine will go just about any where I point it.!! Good luck with your new unit!!

M1028s first had single rear wheels. Off-road stability was poor so for some, conversion to dual rear wheels after initial manufacture.

The A1 variant has a New Process 205 transfer case which provides for power take off. The A2 is the M1028 with dual rear wheels, the A3 is the A1 with dual rear wheels.

M1028A3 has a NP 208, M1028A2 has a NP205

this truck does have a 205 does it have any more value than a 1008

this truck does have a 205 does it have any more value than a 1008

I would trade a 1008 for a 1028 any day. Kinda like trading up. I would guess the value is peace of mind. Thats worth a few hundy.

Is that one of gl a month ago has dually data plate but has singles on it????

No it was bought private party here in Idaho had a bad motor and no bed but did have the dual wheels. It is my dads truck I helped him put a motor in it he bought from Boyce in Utah. He found a good civi bed and we are getting ready to paint the whole thing. It only has 50K miles and in pretty good shape.

OH, before putting the bed on, add a passenger side fuel tank.

If the civy bed doesn't have a door, you can put the fill neck out near the rear wheels.

That will give your dad 40 gallons, instead of the standard 20 you get with only one fuel tank.
