Air Deflector Differences

[Kilian]

I see from parts catalogs that there were different air deflectors (the piece that fits under the front bumper) between 2WD and 4WD trucks. What would be the difference? Height of deflector?

The bumpers wouldn't have been different for mounting holes, would they?

I know the 4WD had cut outs for tow hooks.

We had a K10 that didn’t come equipped with tow hooks so it had the smooth deflector. Kind of silly to leave that off a 4x4 but true story.

The 2wd deflector is shorter than the 4x4 version. The 4x4 came with or without recovery hooks.

Thanks for the help.

Also, the taller 4x4 version fits right on a 2wd. The deeper air dam gives a bit of a sporty look.

Thanks. I have one from a 4x4 that I was going to put on my C2500. Sounds like it will work and look good.
