A widetrack is a 88.5 or later Sierra. They have wider diff/axles that have the springs mounted further out from the frame than before for "added" stability. You can spot them by the steel 2" flares.

That was a very brief explanation :D

the very early widetracks had plastic flares, but they are wider than the nt flares, better and more flexible than the tin flares, too... chrustover
