Are there any numbers cast in to the differential or a metal tag attached somewhere? Maybe post some pics?

Typically Chevy didn't either except in 4wd applications. Initially was thinking maybe they set the body on a Chevy frame. Still quite possible that is the case with a disc conversion on the front unless there were some 6 bolt applications I'm not remembering.

I took it to get new tires 15" and they said a tie rod was bad but could not do anything with out knowing what front end it is. The caliber has only one marking 2 1/8 2113-1. And that doesn't help. Since it has a 1985 chevy 305 with power steering and disc brakes I was thinking maybe an 85-86 chevy truck front end as well. I believe the ck had 6 lugs. I guess I need to know would an F1 fit on that truck frame. I am going to bring it to a front end specialist as soon as I can and see if they can figure this out. I would love to post pics but not sure how. Soon I hope.

Okay I just got a piece of the puzzle, I found rims to fit exactly from a GM colorado/canyon/Izuzu 2004-2008 6 lug offset 15x6.5j . also while cleaning the engine compartment I noticed on the steering box a metal tag completely covered in dirt that read 5826250 and the name toyo. So I am assuming this is part of the GM / Izuzu partnership that was going on until 2016. Hopefully I will get pics on soon, this is a good looking truck just a mystery.

I posted photos in the gallery of my 49. This truck supposedly came out of Tennesse, anyone ever seen it before ?

The Isuzu connection sounds more likely to have the 6 bolt rims. A possible quick way to check is look at the frame. Open C-channel was common on domestics, while the imports used a more rectangular tubular style. Get into the later 90's and 2000's, that became less true.
