Chevrolet C30 – the one-tonne class of the C/K series: pickup, Crewcab and chassis, six- and eight-cylinder engines from 3,540 to 7,439 cc, kerb weight 2,376 to 3,944 kg, Silverado trim
The Chevrolet C30 belongs to General Motors' C/K series, built from 1960 into the 2000s; the C denotes rear-wheel drive, the K four-wheel drive, and the number 30 the roughly one-tonne payload class above the lighter 10 and 20 models. Body styles range from the plain pickup through the Crewcab double cab to a chassis for aftermarket bodies; Silverado denoted the top trim level from the 1970s before becoming a standalone model name in 1999.

The register lists here 5 versions with six- and eight-cylinder engines of 3,540 to 7,439 cc, kerb weights of 2,376 to 3,944 kg, gross vehicle weights of 3,500 to 5,114 kg, and widths of 2,080 to 2,450 mm and lengths of 5,100 to 6,400 mm.
For decades the C30 was North America's workhorse for trades, agriculture and motorhome conversions, competing with the Ford F-350 and the Dodge D300. For builders of tipper beds, box bodies and motorhomes, the simple ladder-frame chassis with high payload was the preferred base.
A used-buying check should cover rust on the frame, spring hangers and brake lines, the condition of the clutch and the three-speed or automatic transmission, the rear axle on dually versions with twin rear wheels, and bodies with tow hitches and auxiliary springs. Parts for engines and running gear are widely available through the aftermarket for US vehicles.
