Starter is 24 volt, glow plug system is also different, 2 alternators, everything else is 12V. M1008s are 8800 gvw with NP208s, M1028s have trak lok front axles and helper springs (9400 gvw), M1031s/M1028a1s have trak lok front axles and NP205 transfer cases (9200 gvw). I have had 12 of these trucks so far, prices range from condition, location of auction, how many there are, etc. GSA auctions are easiest paper work wise but condition varies wildly. Best to preview before you bid. Great trucks once you figure out the little nuances.
