Use this sheet for the right configuration

Request a photograph of the vehicle and engine identification labels. A high-power 258U has a specific published engine and transmission pairing; other years and versions need their own reference. Check the installed components against the original record, especially if an engine or transmission has been replaced.

Confirm the finished truck

Measure the installed body and equipped vehicle, obtain axle scale weights and check the VIN-linked labels and body-builder records. No finished payload, universal towing capacity or interchangeable body approval is inferred from these reference figures.
