That C/20 looks an awful lot like a K/20 to me. It really is neat. I'd like it for plowing but not at $6k. Those dump hoists for pickup beds are neat, but watch putting much weight in there. That bed is designed t carry weight while mounted to frame rails. there were units that had a sub-frame, but you can tell those by the bed sitting much higher

Are you sure it's even a K20? Count the wheel lug nuts. I may be off there, correct me if I am!

I'm thinking it's a 1 ton with 9 foot bed. I'd love to have it, either way, but I cannot justify another truck until mine is running.

Maybe next summer. M A Y B E.

It's a 4wd and that's an HO52... or HO72. It does look like a longer bed, but it's a 8'. The C/30 beds have enough space in front of the fender for a spare

Looks like a k/20 to me. Blue dial spicers at least suggest that it's got a 3/4 ton front axle as well as an eaton rear. Looks like an 8' step side to me but the pictures aren't the best either.

alot of literature printed in the past has stated that the 4 wheel drive was an option on c20's. Unless I'm mistaken.... K20 were a separate model. This seller may be relying on inaccurate information for it.

C/20= 3/4 ton 2x4
K/20= 3/4 ton 4x4

I get it, but I got a book or two published in the mid to late 80's/early 90's that state the k's were an "option" on the c series rathe than a separate model.
