They were Dodge 880's in the 1970's and early 1980's. The GMC's started in 1983 or 1984

The email with the batches indicates versions of the CUCV: CUCV and CUCV with Vampire. Does anybody know what the Vampire is?

The Vampire is a Anti-UAV weapon.

Thanks for the info guys, but this doesn't make sense to me. The Vampire counter-UAV / precision rocket system was developed in 2012. Why would you pair that with the CUCV that was first fielded in 1976. That's why I was thinking that there must have been some kind of Cold War system called Vampire, like maybe a commo system or GSR or something. If GHQ wanted to do a model of the current Vampire system being sent to Ukraine shouldn't they use the pickup from the technical packs (TW6 or TW7)?

My guess is they could be using the CUCVs based on the Chevy and GMC trucks from 2012.
