c10 - k10 frame difference's
« on: June 25, 2019, 11:08:49 PM »
Hi

Just throwing these questions out there for my own confirmation. I have read on some other post's that the frame of a c10 and a k10 are almost identical.

Are they Identical? What are the differences if any? Do the years between 73-87 vary much at all?

Any info would be very appreciated, thanks.

73-80 and 81-87 (91) is where the split is and there are differences based on wheel base, capacity and obviously the main difference between a C10 and K10 is 2WD vs 4WD.
