They never made 3/4 T C20's in a short bed, also they all had 8 lugs. Someone may have changed the front fenders.this, this is your answer.
either they put C20 emblems on cuz they liked them or the front fenders were changed (most likely due to rust or damaged) and didn't bother to correct the misleading emblems. and they never put a v6 in a C20, that would be counter intuitive. like buying a ford because they are good trucks hahahaha

2) i agree that it seems counter intuitive to put a 4.3 in a 3/4 ton, but i'm pretty sure they were available.

i don't mean to politically oppose anyone here, but please understand that i'm a 4.3 aficionado and thus i feel must defend "my" engine. :)
Again, i agree it doesn't seem to make sense as you would probably end up with a thirsty and slow truck, but that's what the papers indicate.....

The 292 straight six was available for anything above 8600 lbs. GVWR.

It's all in the vehicle info kits at the GM heritage center website, about 4.3's being available in 3/4 tons.

and they were ½ ton wheels (5 lug, never seen a 4x4 and from what ive read they dont exists)Your sure they were 5 lug? Those hub caps dont look like the typical dog dish style.
I'd love to find one of those trucks for sale.
