Something is screwy with the way the Chevy C 80 tops out at 25K in all the literature. When a GMC is ordered with the same optional heavy axles 9k, 11k front and 22 or 23K rear, the GMC is rated in the 30-32K range. IMO, a heavy spec Chevy C 80 should be listed with the same GVW as a GMC, why it's not, is a mystery to me. Side note, a 6500 is just a higher powered 6000, ( 478 vs. 401) otherwise same available axles.
