the 3/4ton trucks definitely exist.  and they certainly have the locking
hubs.  even the CUCV pickups have the locking hubs.  there are still a
couple of them kicking around the post, bought at auction by local
contractors and used fairly regularly.

they're diesels, probably the 6.2litre...  but the rest, i don't know.  they
won't let me crawl under them and look, i can't get any closer to them than
i was today.  so far as i've been able to determine, only the two Suburbans
and the Blazer actually get driven anywhere.  i've never actually seen any
of the pickups outside of their respective motorpools, some of them look
like they've been sitting right where they are since they got back from the
first Gulf War.
