Can someone explain the structural differences between a c/10 and a c/20? I know that they are designed for heavier loads, but what are the differences? Heavier springs, frame, etc. Thanks.

Kinda new to all this.

I'm not totally for sure, Im still a youngn and all, but I think its just tougher springs, better axles, and usually lowered gears. They may have heavier duty frames... Don't know.

if you put a 1/2, 7 3/4 ton frame side by side you wont notice any differences in dimentions, but i think the 3/4 ton rails are about .030 thicker(1/32) as guaged with a set of mikes. And as aready posted , the springs ,spindles balljoints,rear diff ect. are all beefier. ..........crazy Al
