CUCV vs Civ Unit?

[SuperchargedRS]

I have a question here... how different is a 6.2 CUCV Blazer from a 6.2 Civilian Blazer?

24v vs. 12v (more of a pain in the azz), CARC vs. normal paint (tougher but not your standard shiny normal color), brush guard vs., chrome bumpers, always non power everything.

But that's that isn’t it; or am I missing something that makes the mil blazer different?

Its mostly 'trim' that makes them different. The CUCV came with a 'gov-lock' standard, and a TH400 tranny. Also had the J code HD emmisions engine.

So overall they are going to be the same quality, just diffrent trim (CARC vs chrome) I was looking in a LMC truck catalog that I got and I think that some of the civ units had a 400 too, kinda wish the Gov't put the 700r4 in though.

I dont think any of the civvy with the 6.2 came with a th400.

They also have noise arrestors on all the motors to minimize interferance with the radios. The Diff vent on the front is mounted higher. I don't know about the back and how high the vent it mounted. Pintle hitch. Blackouts. No interior overhead light.
