c1500 vs k1500

[Frankb714]

Not sure where to put this thread so maybe somebody can help me out. I am trying to order some parts for my suburban online but iam not sure if I have a c1500 of a k1500 how can I tell? what is the difference? c1500 k1500 c2500 k2500? I know its not a 2500 but how can I tell the difference between a c/k truck?

Now if only we could teach the morons at the parts stores that.

I can`t count how many times they have tried to sell me 2wd parts for my K1500

It happens all the time at my parts store. Another thing that annoys me is people that list their truck for sale as a ck1500 or ck2500. Well, which is it?

luckily some parts interchange haha.

a lot of us use 3/4 ton calipers and 1 ton master cylinders... some of the bagged truck owners use k1500 upper ball joints since they are notched for more flex.

i see your point though.. they assume it's all the same stuff.. when clearly it isn't.

There is a pretty sharp group of people at my local O'Reilly's. My shop deals with them almost exclusively.
Never had a problem with them.......at least nothing that they couldn't fix right away.
We do get a few miss boxed parts though. I would lay blame on the manufacturer for that problem.
