Help locating GVWR, etc for 79 K20
So I've been out searching for some information for a 79 K20 and a 76 K10. The 76 I shouldn't have any problems with as I have the actual vehicle and the Owners Manual at home. But the 79 is giving me problems. I am looking for as much as possible of the information below so I can appropriately judge how much pay load I can carry. I plan on using the 76 to occasionally carry a Truck Camper but I will be utilizing the axles from the K20 (8lug D44 & 14bff) for the additional strength. I will also be upgrading the springs and using overloads or air bags as helpers.
Does anyone know where I can find the information below? As I said, I no longer have the actual 79, just some parts, and no owners manual/door tag. I want to stay as close to GVWR and GCWR as possible when sizing a TC. Thanks in advance. GVW: Gross Vehicle Weight - the actual weight of a vehicle. GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: The maximum allowed GVW for a vehicle. GCW: Gross Combined Weight: The total weight of everything - tow vehicle, trailer, etc. GCWR: The maximum allowed GCW. GAW (front or rear): The Gross Axle Weight - the amount of weight on that particular axle. GAWR (front or rear): The Gross Axle Weight Rating: The maximum allowed GAW. |
