Would love to hear a definitive answer as to why a C20 with leafs got D60 and K20 with leafs got an HO. Personally, I wish they all got the D60.. More parts still available.

I agree with everything you said here, however my father in law bought a a K20 from Kevin a couple years ago that has a 60 in the rear. I’ve always wondered if it was original. It’s always possible it was an earlier swap but that 60 has definitely been in the truck for a long time. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was original. I wonder if maybe an occasion K20 didn’t sneak out of the factory with a 60. I’ve seen several K2500s with them. I wish I had pictures of it.
On another note, That’s a real nice hugger blazer!
