C is 2 wheel drive, K is 4 wheel drive.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

     The front suspension is differn't on both, though you could swap everything over from one to anouther.  I believe there might also be a difference in the spring hanger locations between the two.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Rear leaf hangers are different, frame rails are basically the same.

Ok thanks, I was basically making sure if I bought a k10, that I could swap suspension parts to make it a k20

All the 3/4 ton stuff will mount right up.
