What sizes were the original steel wheels on a 1986 Chevy D30 4x4 and anyone know what the backspacing is?

I probably personally installed the LH battery in your truck at the factory.

I ran the fender set area in Flint when the CUCVs were built. We also installed the batteries and did under hood wiring but the operator on that job was too short. So every 12th vehicle I would have to put the battery in myself, or ask one of my repair guys or quality man to do it.

I do not know why we didn't just move her to a different job. Didn't occur to me til just now.

1 post in 4 years from the OP and it’s to literally ask a basic question that google answers in 1.69 seconds…..
Almost as odd as the new feller named Tina who posted 2 fake interweb pics of someone and their old wife with bolt on DDDs!

checking what a artificial intel search engine says:
A DDD bra size is equivalent to an F cup in some sizing systems. Additionally, it can also be considered a sister size to a D cup with a larger band size or an E cup with a smaller band size.

although i guess nuts and bolts may not be the best solution to fasteners, vs. the traditional metal hook and loop system for a bra,...or were they suggesting bolt on fake boobs in DDD size ?

I'm not a bot. Just what a bot would say. That PDF was nice and thanks for the responses. Yep, been browsing around in here for a while and wasn't finding what I was looking for with google fu. Most things stop at k20's don't know what other things may or may not be different. Heck just finding the right fan bolts was actually a chore. unknown backspace hmmm. Lotsa variables. Still looking for some type of battery "top holders" for it. They seem to have been misplaced somewhere. Also I personally don't recommend a 6.2 with short exaust pipes without hearing protection.
