True, but GM was always 6-lugup till '71. I mean from way way back including Chevrolet cars

But Its common knowledge that 8 lugs means C20 or C2500 there 3/4 ton trucks or up to 2 ton trucks.

One more easy way to tell if you have a 1/2 ton from a 3/4 ton from 1950--1970.You have to undo 8 small bolts to remove the rear Drum on a 3/4 ton 8 lug truck 1971-72 used Dana's where the drum slides off
Not sure I follow you.
