Is there a difference in the cucv?

[Macmatrix]

I was wondering if there was a difference between the 1984 m1008 and the 1986 m1008?

No. The only CUCV that had some slight differences was the M1009 with minor things like seat brackets and floor pan layout.

Yes there are some differences. Nothing major to pass up on a 84 though.

With but a couple of exceptions, all the CUCVs are based off the 84 model year.

Did they retain new wipper cowls and sprayers 85+?The blazer I had, had the newer style. All my trucks were 84's. I can think of at least 5 differences in the years.

Wiper cowl on my 86 has the cowl based washer nozzles vs the wiper are ones. There wera few 87 CUCVs that had 87 stuff. Not seen any differences between my 84 and 86.

From what I have noticed:
wiring is different
frame is different at the middle crossmember
oil sampler valve
Frame stiffeners
gpr
rust protection (have the black circle caps)
door triangle window has more screws

Did the exterior antenna mounts move from the rear (1984) to the middle (1985 or 86) on the M1008s like they did on the M1009s?

There is a left & right frame brace just ahead of the front rear shackle and a front pinion snuber that the 84 don't have I don't think.
At least the civi K30's didn't have them in 84.
Maybe it's a military thing?
