Chevrolet C20 – the three-quarter-ton class of the C/K pickup range: V8 engines of 4.6 to 7.4 litres, trim lines from Custom Deluxe to Cheyenne and Silverado
The C20 formed the three-quarter-ton class in General Motors' C/K pickup range: C stood for rear-wheel drive (K for four-wheel drive), the number 10, 20 or 30 for the payload class between half a ton and a ton. Chevrolet built the range from 1960 to 1987 across several generations, with the third generation, known as the Square Body and built from 1973 to 1987 with its angular body, making up most of the vehicles captured here. The name additions mark the trim lines: Custom, Custom Deluxe and Scottsdale the simpler ones, Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super the mid-range, Silverado the upper trim; Fleetside and Stepside name the flush or the stepped load bed.

The register lists here 21 versions with V8s of 4,600 to 7,439 cm³, unladen weights from 1,780 to 2,400 kg, gross weights from 2,500 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 4,420 to 5,550 mm and widths from 1,750 to 2,060 mm; power is recorded in the register as 97 kW.
The C20 was one of the best-selling pickups of its class in the US and Canada and served tradespeople, farmers and as a base for camper conversions; in Europe the vehicles arrived mostly as imports and are used there less often as everyday transport, more often as enthusiast vehicles.
On a used example from these model years, rust on the frame, load bed and wings, the condition of the carburettor or early injection, the automatic and transfer gearboxes on four-wheel-drive versions, and the brake system count; the V8 engines of this range are regarded as durable and can be fully supplied, if needed, through the US parts market.
