a few paragraph breaks and some spaces and punctuation might allow someone here to decipher what you're trying to say, but welcome to the garage

I got as far as where you called a 1 ton a C10 .... you need to get a shop manual at minimum, and an assembly manual and owners manual would be useful

Bill

yep, i got a little bit further but it is hard to cypher all that.

The parts stores should still be able to get you what you need if you give them the correct information. If it's a C-10 it is a half ton, if it's a one ton it is a c-30.

I read and understood every word, so all is well here! :>)

What is the VIN? The VIN tag will be on the driver side door header, A-pillar or B-pillar. This will tell a bit of the story.

Welcome aboard and keep on posting!

there is only the c10 panel 115"wb or the c30 panel 133" wb. there is no 3/4t panel produced. as Tony stated show us the vin and that will identify it. as he meant by header is that you may have to look to the top of the door frame.
