do i have an odd truck?

[JohnnyBarnett1981]

i recently acquired an '89 chevrolet 4x4 2500 with the 6 lug wheels and the 14 bolt sf rear and i was looking at the rpo codes in the glove box to see if it had the f44 code for the heavier frame and suspension like the z71's have and it doesnt have it...is this an odd truck that may have been special ordered? it doesnt sat up as high as the heavy half z71's that ive seen. if this helps the vin is 1GCFK24K1KE151785

I say it's like that because it's a 2500

I'm pretty sure Z-71 packages weren't offered on 2500's or 3500's. Maybe on the LD 2500's?

so the heavy half z71's are just 1500's? that may be why lol

Yeah it's a light duty 3/4 ton, that's also why it's 6 lug not 8 lug.

Yep, the 1500 "HD's" only upgrade was a 14 bolt rear IIRC. The Z-71 package does nothing for the frame, just adds a couple skid plates, different shocks, and stickers.
