So these Mexican c10's were base models in pretty much every way..... But yet they come with American optional 16" steel rims? I wonder what the need for the extra height is....

**special-K** · 07-26-2014, 05:14 PM

Heavier rated tires in 16". That was the reason for the option

Once ypu see the ruff beat up non maint. Roads in Juarez, youll understand the reason for the 16" steelies and higher rated tires.

I always post this when the subject of Mexican trucks comes up. A square-body panel...

I wanted to hang out and see if the owner/driver showed up to ask some questions, but my wife didn't want to hang out a dark side street in Acapulco for very long. It was probably the correct call to keep moving on.

Well that would explain this one I found at a Firestone in Tx. I thought it was super unusual - thanks for the clarification.

I saw the truck in post #1 today while going to look at a K20 here in Albuquerque while on a visit. Got my carnitas burrito at El Modelo!

**jocko** · 01-08-2015, 10:36 PM

and WHAT are you doing in ABQ!? Checking with that local shop to see if your buddy wants to sell me his white/red K20 super?? I hope!

I go to MX a lot and see them quite often. Here's a Cheyenne with upper and lower trim. And a few other add ons...
