According to the 1975 Chevrolet Truck Vehicle Information Kit from the GM Heritage Center website, there were three GVW ratings for the 1975 C30; 9000 (standard), 9600 (Camper Special RPO Z81/Z83), and 10000 (Dual Rear Wheel RPO R05). Tire sizes determined whether higher GAWR axle rating were given rather than gearing. To achieve the highest GVWR of 10K the RPO J55 HD Power Brakes had to be selected as well. Neither the Vehicle Information Kit or the sales brochures make any mention of GCWR, only GVWR.
