Bed snaps can be added after paint!

Maybe it has a cap like my M1028 has on it and they made a canvas enclosure for the back of it?

That is for sure a military truck.  From what I understand gm never made a cucv dully.  What happened was they were having problems with rollovers from some of the trucks with tall boxes on the back so gm put together a kit to send military bases for conversions.  I've seen some that they didn't finish the conversion, like left the front dana 60 alone and didn't install the front axle kit, etc.  I was wondering if they didn't finish the bed but that does look norrow, hard to say.

I was in the Army while these were in svc. I dont remember any Duelly. But i could be wrong. I tlooks good though.

Actually, i think this series(though not nessesarily the one pictured above) is still in service.   i saw several in a convoy last yr in ohio.  i could not get a picture at the time.

i don't know if it was national guard or what, but it was definitely official government business.

spent 6 yrs working on these 90-96 it defiantly military interesting to see if it has a 208 or 205 transfercase. This is somehting somebody pieced together most of your bigger bases had can. points (canibilization point) basically a junk yard for military parts, just show up with a requistion tag and help yourself! I would frequent the can. point regularly to get squarebody parts to fix our other vehicles. our favorite mod was putting hummv tires 37" on our service trucks.
