My 98 has it on the title 2500hd. 8 lug GMT400's are HD trucks in 01' gm just decided to start putting it on the door that does not mean anything before 01' is not an hd. My 80' k20 is an 8600 gvw truck with HD suspension package printed right on the RPO sheet.

Ok, I didn't know that. There's another thread here called: "89 k3500 srw vs k2500" and last post I was asking about the C6P option...is that the option you have?

Just came back from u haul. They won't even let me haul my Camaro (3200lbs). I think I'm just going to buy a used trailer on Craigslist or something. I'm done with them. Just gonna find a used trailer on Craigslist.

Why didn't you just lie? Tell them you're hauling a Geo Metro.

There are 2 of them. A 9.5" semi float and a 10.5" full float. I think some newer trucks even have an 11.5" 14-bolt.

They use the 11.5" behind the Duramax trucks and you can find it in the pickups that have the 8.1. My 2500 suburban with an 8.1 only has the 10.5" which I hear is pretty normal, I am not sure about the vans, but I suspect they are just the 10.5"

Wow, about a year and a half ago uhaul let me tow my 88 Camaro behind my 97 1500 with zero issues.
Uhaul is just a major PITA to deal with anyways. I personally plan on buying a small car trailer before the next time I need to tow again, which will be when I eventually bring my Camaro to get some fresh paint.

I was going to send you a message about it, but for some reason it won't let me send pictures through PM's. Probably some minimum # of posts requirement or something hell i don't know.

Nothing particularly special about it. Just a base model 305/5 speed with a bunch of IROC-Z parts on it I've picked up over the years. It's my first car, 13 years later I finally have a garage and still can't manage to get work done on it lol. Damn truck needs more work still before I can get back to focusing on it.
How it currently sits, while I try to find a product to take the rust-like discoloration out of the clear/white reverse lens.
