No... they are not the same.The Dodge truck had different rails that fit to their stake pockets locations which were different then the CUCV. I have a 880 top to sell because it didn't fit my 1008. It will fit the the 3/4 ton trailer with adjustments though (too long):-D
If your CUCV is hard starting in 60+ degree weather (and lower) you need to replace the fuel sensor switch located in the Stanadyne 80 fuel filter base. It is round with two wires and held in place with a round spring clipunder the filter. They crack with age and you may or may not see it...

Your problem is a bad fuel pressure sensor in the fuel filter base. It cracks and can leak. It is the round plastic thing held in with spring clip with 2 wires coming from it in the base under the filter. Military knew of problem. Only in military version, not civy. Used for ICE testing...
CUCV Starter
A local auto electric shop can rebuild it for you. I believe Parramore Surplus Company in FL had them for $235? Make sure that the front starter bracket is installed and starter attached to it. It stops starter from moving during starting and saves your flywheel and or starter...
