C10 service body
 

Did C10's come with service bodies from upfitters? It seems to me it would be a C20 atleast.

I am looking to trade for one, and the guy says it has 5 lugs.

Secondly it's a 86. So for my california friends. How bad is smogging going to be for the truck.

Unlikely but possible. The weight of the service body would almost 'regulate' it to a 3/4 chassis @ a minimum.
But, since the frames are similar, it's easy enough to swap a service body on to a 1/2 chassis for a 'custom' truck or swap the 3/4 ton chassis parts to 1/2 to spec stuff.

it may have been installed afterwards along the ownership lines.. even the food service trucks ive seen are all eight lugs

What's the weight of a service body if you know.

If I get the truck. The bed is coming off for a trailer build. Then I will either buy a long or short bed depending on my desire for a project.

That's what I thought. Just seems awkward for a light duty truck.

Maybe the owner was in a hurry to meet Jesus.

Double check the VIN. It might be a C20 that a PO swapped in 1/2 ton spindles and rear axle for 'reasons' sometime in the past.

I will when I go look at the truck. He is coming to look at the T first.

He also says it has a 305 due to stickers on the core support. Which wouldn't be in a C20 as far as I understand.

Either way I want it. At a minimum it's easier for me to fix, drop a bed on, and sell. If not ditch the Durango I have, and have two squares

I don’t know about the 73-up, but do know there were service bodies installed on 64-72 swb half tons, as a family member used to have a few he ordered for his business.
