This K20’s photographed SPID and mounted VIN/weight plate agree on CKY243Z185827. The SPID gives model CK20903 and prints its wheelbase as 1315.

The label clearly lists LS9, a 350-cubic-inch four-barrel V8; YE9, Cheyenne Super equipment; Z81, Camper Special equipment; VJ9, California emission certification; and N40, power steering. The descriptions for a four-speed transmission, locking differential, auxiliary fuel tank, heavy-duty front springs and heavy-duty radiator are also readable. Their option codes are cropped off the left edge and have not been reconstructed.

What remains open

The weight plate gives 8,200 pounds gross, 3,500 front and 5,560 rear. These are historical inscriptions, not an assessment of present capacity. The submitted documents do not establish the auction’s PTO or winch claims.
