This 1988-93 standard grille could indicate either the basic Cheyenne trim or the intermediate Scottsdale (as 1988-89 model only). But the lack of rubber strip on the bumper rules out the Scottsdale possibility. → 1988 K-Series Cheyenne [GMT400]?

eLMeR ◊ 2019-03-12 01:38	Indeed! My bad, I was searching for wheel studs, so I didn't really check the rest of that picture

matt trakker ◊ 2025-01-26 20:43	This truck is a "light duty C-2500" 6 lug 2wd. Not a K2500. You can see the front suspension control arms, as well as the "rake" from front to rear. To put it simply, GM sold two 2500s at this point with different load rating. The light duty 2wd version here used a 6 lug wheel that was not shared with the 4wd 6 lug 1500s, or the 4wd LD 2500. These trucks used a specific six lug rear end that was a 14 bolt cover with bigger housing and brakes, etc. In addition to that, the rear end in question was made in TWO widths, the one for the 4wd trucks was wider end to end to help match the wheel track up front. The 4wd 6 lug 2500 was also sold as a "1500HD" in the GMT400 timeline, in the later years mainly. People like to swap the 6 lug 14 bolt rear end from these trucks into 6 lug 1500s as they're heavier duty than the typical 10 bolt rear end -- Last edit: 2025-01-26 20:46:22
dhill_cb7 ◊ 2025-01-26 21:25	Thank you for supplying the detailed explanation. I knew two 2500s existed. I didn’t know GM referred to them as light and heavy duty back then. -- Last edit: 2025-01-26 21:25:27
Truck_Guy ◊ 2025-01-26 21:55	dhill_cb7 wrote I didn’t know GM referred to them as light and heavy duty back then. Technically, they didn't. They referred to them by GVWR (7,200 lbs for the "light duty", and 8,600 lbs for the "heavy duty"). The "heavy duty" also carried the RPO code of C6P. Link to "www.xr793.com"
dhill_cb7 ◊ 2025-01-26 22:29	Thanks. Yes, now that jars my memory. I haven’t studied the GMT400/480/455 in great detail in 5 or so years.
