Chevrolet C1500 – the collective page of the half-ton pickup from Fleetside and Sportside to Silverado and Suburban: six- and eight-cylinders of 4.6 to 7.4 litres, 139.5 to 257 kW, unladen weight 1,760 to 2,559 kg
This page gathers the Chevrolet C1500, the rear-wheel-drive half-ton from General Motors' C/K range: at GM, C denotes rear-wheel drive, K four-wheel drive, and 1500 the payload class. Fleetside and Sportside denote the smooth and the stepped bed shape, Silverado became the top trim line in 1975 and later a model name in its own right, Suburban the long-wheelbase wagon version with an enclosed body; the 454 SS was a limited high-performance version with the big-block 454-cui V8 built from 1990 to 1993. Engines were Chevrolet's own small-block and big-block V8s and straight-sixes.

The register lists here 14 versions with 139.5 to 257 kW from six- to eight-cylinders of 4,553 to 7,430 cm³, unladen weights from 1,760 to 2,559 kg, gross weights from 2,540 to 3,175 kg, lengths from 4,305 to 5,815 mm and widths from 1,900 to 2,000 mm.
The C1500 was for decades the workhorse of American trades and farms and competed directly with the Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram for the North American pickup market; the 454 SS is regarded by collectors as one of the first true high-performance pickups.
On used examples, rust on the frame, running boards and bed, the condition of the automatic and transfer case, valvetrain and carburettor or early injection on the small-block V8, brakes and wheel bearings on the heavier Suburban versions all count; parts run through GM and the wide US aftermarket.
