    Odd M1028 bed

    I got all my light issues fixed. Turned out to be a classic case of check the easy stuff 1st. Both bulbs were blown for the rear brake/turn & the reason the turn signals didn't flash & light up when you mash the brake, the hazards were on. Apparently the hazzard flasher is bad cause the weren't...

    Odd M1028 bed

    Thanks. I hope it's something easy like that. Electrical problems usually end up w/me beating my head against the wall. Does anybody know if the wiring diagrams for an 86 K30 will be the same as an 86 CUCV?

    Odd M1028 bed

    So I ended up buying the truck w/dropside bed. Turns out there's alot that wasn't original. Cut down deuce bed, 35s, 4spd manual, carpet, buckets & center console outa a blazer.... But who ever did it did a great job. It's all neat & factory looking. The truck runs & drives good, good tires...

    Odd M1028 bed

    Ok. Thanks. One more thing. There's no DMV records before 2000. Is it safe to assume that's when the military sold it off to the civilian market?

    Odd M1028 bed

    I got the seller to text me the VIN last night. I used the decoder that porksyplace so kindly posted & I ran it through one of those online vehicle reporting deals & it looks like everything lines up. I do have a question though. On paper its listed as "1986 Chevrolet D30 Military Postal Unit...

    Odd M1028 bed

    I appreciate all the info yall bring to the table. I've had a bunch of old chevys but never a military version & never a diesel. I'm going to look at Saturday so we'll see.

    Odd M1028 bed

    I like the looks of that one too. I don't usually like dually trucks but the flat bed look is awesome to me. I didn't get a chance to look at the inside so I can't say about the clutch pedal. I'm going to try & go back this weekend & look it over real good & drive it & all that. Back to the...

    Odd M1028 bed

    Thanks for the replies. I don't think the guy is trying to blow smoke I just think he dosen't know what he has. Hell I don't really know what I'm looking at. That's why I'm asking yall. Am I correct to assume it's a M1028 because of the dual wheels, 4.56 gears, 6.2 diesel & the helper spring in...

    Odd M1028 bed

    Have yall ever seen this bed on a surplus chevy? I've looked all over & cant found another one online. I'm looking at buying this truck. I believe it's a M1028. 6.2 diesel, 4 speed manual w/4.56 gears. The seller says it's all original but I'm starting to think the bed is custom. Any information...
