Then again I put 2 skids of shingles on a 3/4 ton snugged up against the cab (flatbead). New Ford guy was very jealous.

C10 and C20 are the same frame thickness and strength. ... difference is location of rear shocks (inside vs outside the rails). Otherwise you could unbolt the c20 suspension and toss it in the c10. .. it's just the difference in the axles, springs, those goodies, and a 12 bolt is not that bad of a rear.
When springs and such are done up different, that 1/2 ton gets pretty close to the c20 in capabilities..
