Re: Suburban frames 1500 vs 2500
My understanding is that K-10 and K-20 frames were the same, at least back to the early 1970s. I've had some of both though not at the same time, and the frames looked to be same thickness. I don't recall if I ever actually measured them, but there is an obvious difference in frame thickness between a C-10 and a C-20.
I was advised to just swap to 3/4 ton axles and springs to convert my Suburban to a 3/4 ton (mainly what I wanted was 16" wheels to run Load Range E tires).
