"Yes" in regards to the size of suspension components. (6-lug vs. 8-lug wheels, larger springs, etc.)
"No" in regards to the overall size of the truck.

The sheet metal is interchangeable between the C10 (1/2 ton-2wd), K10 (1/2 ton-4x4), C20 (3/4 ton-2wd), K20 (3/4 ton-4x4) & C30 (1 ton-2wd), so they do look, somewhat the same size, at first glance. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 55 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 55 | The 3/4 and 1 ton trucks also have thicker frames. the one ton,s have a leaf spring,s with overloads on the rear. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 7 | Excellent.Thanks for the replies!
One more question: One of the trucks Im thinking of buying has an 8 foot bed.Would this be the long bed version or the short bed? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 45 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 45 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 7 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 | We have seen a couple of 9ft beds pop up also. | | |
