If you ever get a peek at the partial vin on the frame I think you’ll find it’s a C20 frame with a C30 body on it if the vin on the door decodes as a C30. The other option was a single rear wheel C30 Or cab and chassis with a dually bed but I’m not sure if they even made them like that in 76.

Where on the frame should I look? Yes, this decodes as a 1 ton according to the tag on the inside of door jamb.

By the looks underneath this truck has been together (frame/cab/box) since day 1. Now I do wish I knew the history of it!!!

I ordered my lowering kit according to this vin with a 14 bolt reaerend so I hope it still works!!

Let me know where on frame to look for that number and I will! Thanks!
