So what's the difference between a C and a K truck?

I'd love to get a 68-72 Chevy/GMC 4x4 and put a diesel engine in it. Maybe a smaller Cummins instead of the monster 5.9 that was in the Dodges. One day for sure.

C is 2wd K is 4wd in 88 when 90% of the line went IFS the straight axle 4wd where classified as V or W-30s mainly the cab and chassis trucks.. there are OEM straight axle up to 91.

speaking of that body style... build thread

i have done a Dmax repower my self... same GM std bell housing bolt patter. LBZ(06-07) cam with 4l85 in the chevy 3500 vans. 08 and newer come with 6l90s.. i plan on putting on in my 79 malibu with the T56 behind it and a 13" single disc clutch. Dmax runs a 14.X" flywheel.. i did the swap for about 8k at a need it now pricing... probally do it for 5-6k in a no rush deal.. in stock hard part form.. the dmax is capable of putting 600-700hp at the crank with just tuning.. size wise its same lenght as a LWP BBC ~1" wider and ~2" taller (turbo) and about ~100lb heavier than a iron head BBC

I didn't realize this truck was part of Chevy's dispay on Power Tour.

You can’t have a Chevrolet display without trucks, and Chevrolet brought one of our favorite SEMA 2013 builds in this ’78 K10 short bed. The truck was resto-modded to look completely stock on the exterior and interior only to reveal a 320hp 5.3L E-ROD crate engine and 4L70E transmission under the hood.

That's freaking awesome, Adam! That's basically how I'd want the truck to sit etc. I've even thought of doing exactly what that guy did by taking a simple 2wd long bed and making it into a 4wd building a custom 4 link front and rear or getting a later, modern IFS frame to put under the truck. I'd want the truck to ride nicely. I don't see leaf springs front and rear allowing that to happen. LWB C10s are just given away but look better as a 4wd in my mind, too. Thanks for sharing that link and answering my question.

Good info on the truck too, Skip. GM is doing some good promotion work this way I think.
