K20 question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**BOSS** · 09-15-2007, 06:55 PM

Were all 8 lug?There was a guy here that stopped by and said not all were 8 lug and i know nothing..... but i know you all do

1969k10stepside · 09-15-2007, 07:35 PM

Yep..all 8 lugs cause the 20 series was 3/4 ton.

**Stocker** · 09-15-2007, 08:12 PM

**Classic Bowties** · 09-15-2007, 08:19 PM

I have never seen a K20 with any more/less then 8 lugs, but I know that some of the later 2500 series light 3/4 ton trucks did have 6 lugs. Cb

**special-K** · 09-15-2007, 09:04 PM

The dude`s confused or playing know-it-all with something he knows little about.No 6-lug K/20s.

Big D · 09-15-2007, 11:20 PM

He must be thinking of the later model stuff, I had a 97 C-2500 that had 6 lug wheels. I guess you would call it a lighter duty 3/4 ton. I think the GVW was 6800 Lbs vs 8600 for the usual 3/4.

72cheyennesuper20 · 09-15-2007, 11:27 PM

Yep he is thinking later model.

**BOSS** · 09-15-2007, 11:28 PM

thought so but then again he says a 67-68 hood will fit on the 69-72 also.Some people know more then others they think.......lol

72armyswbtruck · 09-16-2007, 01:10 AM

some people are smoking a little to much of that whacky tobacie

1969 GMC · 09-16-2007, 04:08 AM

Some old Dodge and IH 3/4 and 1 ton stuff was 6 lug...maybe he meant that?

Yeah,we`re talkin` 6 BIG LUGS.Sounds like a newbie that needs to come on here and learn a thing or two.Better yet...you stay here and tell him everything(in a modest matter of fact non-boasting kind of way,of course

).

**BOSS** · 09-16-2007, 09:02 AM

yeah we had a talk the other night about the typhoons and cyclones also,he tried to argue that one was fast and they made about 200 of them,and the other they made about 5000 amd they were just show..lol.i just give up and let him think what he wants to anymore,oh yeah says he can spot the difference between a 71 and 72 chevy instantly from the grill difference.....lol

**special-K** · 09-17-2007, 07:20 AM

He might know something there.The`71s had black accent around the outer surround and`72s didn`t.The sun has faded most`71s,but there`s usually a trace of black.So,it takes a close look,usually.

Bishops Trucks · 09-17-2007, 07:23 AM

Every K20 I have had was 8 lug.

Longhorn Man · 09-17-2007, 02:59 PM

When i have my old 69 GMC 1500 SWB I was told at least once a month that someone had swapped in a 3/4 ton suspention since it was a 6 lug.

the problem with someone who knows everything, is you can't tell them anything.

**special-K** · 09-17-2007, 10:42 PM

Andy,I can`t tell you anything???

BTW...Gmcs were heavier duty,especially the frames

.I weghed boths emblems and they are within grams of one another,but the GMC hood letters weighed more

.

xshadow · 09-17-2007, 11:03 PM

well the 67-68 hood will fit on the 69-72 if you change the front clip....lol

I guess he was thinking of a 1/2 ton K/20? Hmmmm

msgross · 09-17-2007, 11:11 PM

maybe the guy works at Auto Zone... those a$$es can't tell a spark plug from a butt plug without their computer. I tried to convince the guy that my 68 327 had a 4bbl, he wouldn't buy it though!

Longhorn Man · 09-18-2007, 12:03 AM

try tellin him your truck came with a 305 V6.

**special-K** · 09-18-2007, 06:10 AM

All GMC grilles interchange with both hoods.The difference is in the surrounds.But,you don`t need them,like a`67.
