We had both the Dodge 3/4-Ton M880 and M890 series as both a 4 X 4 pickup and the "blazer" body (or whatever Dodge called their SUV body) AND the Chevy M1028 4 X 4 single cab pickup for our supply and maintenance sections. I KNOW the Army also had crew-cab 4 X 4 trucks because they were running around all over Ft. Drum and Ft. Sill. These were basically 3/4-Ton commercial pickups with 24-volt electrical systems and blackout drives installed. Early models were gassers but after 1990 and the switch to "One Fuel Forward" by the Army, our Dodges were retired and we only had Chevys with the same diesel engines as the Hummers.
