I ran across an ad on Facebook Marketplace today for a 1988 C30 single wheel utility body. In looking at their pictures, I noticed the reinforcement plates under the frame. I know that there were a bunch of different variations of these frames over the years. Just for my clarification, these reinforcement plates only came on the Cab and Chassis models correct? And at that, I don't recall seeing them on the 4x4 C&C's. Was this a 2 wheel drive only feature during that time or did they also come on 4 wheel drive versions of the frame?

I'm probably not actually interested in buying the truck. This is purely for information purposes.

I am not sure, but I think it is C30-only. I do not remember them on the few '89 K30's I have worked on in the past. But my '89 C30 frame has them, as well as my neighbor's '89 C30.

Thanks. It's always nice to learn more about the little differences between models/years.
