The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk 1950, 3604 - My old gal is bouncing her back end around!!!

Denny,

Don't look too close. It's only been brush painted by a 6 and 8 year old with some assistance from Dad. This way you can have some fun with different color schemes before you invest in it.

I only have about a 3/4" clearance on my tie rod ends, but it's below the rim top so no buldging tire issues. I think the 5" backspace would rub like yours.

The "K" prefix was for 4WD chassies and the "C" prefix for 2wd. The '73-86 series used the C/K 10/20/30 for 2wd/4wd 1/2,3/4,and 1 ton models. Although 1987 was the same style truck they used different prefixes, I believe because of the new EFI Vortec engines. I think suburbans used the same prefixes, not sure.

The next series from 1988-1998 used C/K 1500/2500/3500 model designations but were metric sizes except for the 3500.
