M1031 CUCV Truck Service Body Box
The M1031 CUCV Truck Service Body Box is a specialized maintenance/service body designed for the U.S. military’s Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle (CUCV) series, specifically fitted to the M1031 chassis-cab variant.
The M1031 is the chassis-and-cab model of the CUCV line (based on the Chevrolet K30/1¼-ton platform), produced by General Motors in the mid-1980s. It was purpose-built for mounting special bodies and is equipped with an NP-205 transfer case that supports a power take-off (PTO) unit—making it ideal for powering onboard equipment such as welders, air compressors, generators, or other shop tools.
Key Features of the Service Body
Construction: Typically aluminum, built by manufacturers such as Southwest Truck Body Company.
Purpose: Contact maintenance / shop equipment body for field repair and support roles.
Typical Equipment: Often includes engine-driven welders (e.g., Wisconsin-powered), air compressors, tool storage compartments, work surfaces, and lighting (including strobe lights).
Approximate Dimensions (example units): Around 95″ long × 82″ wide × 72″ high (including lights).
Mounting: Bolts to the M1031 frame rails; designed for the 1¼-ton tactical chassis.
Vehicle Context
Chassis: 4×4, 1¼-ton tactical truck with 6.2L Detroit Diesel V8, TH-400 automatic transmission, and heavy-duty components.
Role: Provides a mobile workshop platform for maintenance teams, commonly used for welding, air tools, and general vehicle or equipment repair in the field.
Compatibility: Primarily for the M1031, but similar service bodies have been adapted to related CUCV models (M1008, M1028 series, etc.).
These service bodies are durable, practical surplus items valued by collectors, restorers, and operators converting military chassis into functional work trucks. They turn the bare M1031 chassis into a self-contained mobile maintenance unit.
