My trucks use the spin-on filters, and I don't remember what the cartridge filter number is any more. I'm sure someone on the forum here can help with that though. By the way, C-15 (C-20 in your ID) is a Chevy type of model number. If your truck is a half ton, you have a model 1000. If it's a three quarter ton, you have a 1500.

We're looking forward to learning more about your truck, and seeing some photos of it.

Sorry never owned this year truck before.The guy we purchased it from had it listed as a C-20.After I ran the Vin. it said C-15. It is a 3/4 ton.I'm a firm believer in keeping up on oil changes so I hope it holds up.Once I figure out how to post pics I well share .Thanks
