Solid trucks with HD axles.
Should be equipped with beefy 14 Bolt rear and Dana 60 front.
Is that one Diesel or was it converted to gas? Hopefully someone converted it to 12 volt at some point.
Any reputable shop in your area should be able to work on it as they're simple old school trucks.

6.2's were not converted gasser's, that's a myth. The earlier 350s were derived from an Olds, shared similarities but still weren't just a conversation.
Nice looking truck - they are heavy duty haulers!
I still notice them and sometimes think about getting another. I had an '85 M1009 and kept it for a while. It was fun to drive, since it was essentially the same as a regular Blazer. Just OD green with a 6.2V8 and a 24v system.
As you said... The 6.2/6.5 shares nothing with the converted gas engines - made by Detroit Diesel I think. Plus the 6.2s were used in the Hummvee trucks.
6.2's were fine If you It took care of them and didn't expect 500 horsepower. Like everything else people run things into the ground and don't maintain them then blame the engine.
I will say the earlier 350s were complete garbage. I had a good friend who was heavily invested in them, they ate head gaskets and starters like candy.
