WHAT KIND OF TRUCK DO i HAVE?

[haggis6145]

This may seem stupid to you ss veterans, but i just got what i think is an m1028. It has dual alternators, both on the left side (looking to the rear) and has a harrison a/c compressor on the right side. It has the pickup bed with shelter brackets. I thought the alternator config and a/c were exclusive to the m1010. Any thoughts?

Most would say...(always wanted to say that)!

What's the VIN? There have been more than a couple of these pop up lately. All of the ones I've seen were 1987 models. Pics and VIN please.

 

[haggis6145]

It is an 87. I will post some pics tomorrow. Thx.

Dual red leece alternators on the same side, DUVAC, ac compressor with hoses that run under the body, shelter brackets =M1028 like mine.

So far I'm still batting 1000 on them being 1987 models. Wonder if they were produced under a different contract number.

Looks good! Is this your first 'baby" (military truck)

 

[haggis6145]

Thanks. Yup, first I've owned. The Cdn miltary used the same vehicle but auctioned all of them in the nineties when they were replaced by a brutal Iveco truck made under licence. That's when I last drove one. They were all (to the best of my knowledge) equivalent to the M1008. We called them 'five quads'. The one I just got supposedly has only 4600 miles, however the tranny was pooched.

Does the cab have a/c in it- vents etc or was the a/c compressor for the rear ambulance box version ?

My 1028 is a 86 model. No A/C and delco alt's. But it has the 205 Transfercase. Does yours have the ID tags on the drivers side door? Is the interior A/C? Or only hook ups for the shelter?

 

[raiburn]

Haggis, you should have tags on the drivers door, or drivers door jam, that have the model and vehicle weights info.
Ken, if it originally came with a NP205, then it should be a M1028A1. (M1028A2 is the same with dually setup.)
My '86 M1028 has a NP208, delco alts, 3600# payload capacity, 9400# GVW! The M1008 has a 3100# payload capacity, and a 8900# GVW. Joe.

Thanks for the replies guys. I also did a forum search and got some answers. Looks like the 87 M1028. Dual red Leece Neville alternators, a/c to the box, not the cab.

more pics please

looks good, congrats!

That is a really nice looking truck. Half the work is done on adding A/C to the cab. Does it already have the condenser as well? I'm betting it does. I wonder what the net effect of not having anything in the system since 1987?
