Chevrolet C/K – America's most-built pickup: C for rear-wheel drive, K for four-wheel drive, 5.66 to 6.21-litre V8 engines, gross weights up to 3,500 kg
The Chevrolet C/K series is General Motors' pickup family, built across several generations from 1960 into the early 2000s; "C" denoted rear-wheel-drive versions and "K" four-wheel-drive versions. The two-digit suffixes such as 10, 20 and 30 follow GM's usual payload-class logic, from half-ton to one-ton chassis. Across several vehicle generations, from the 1960s to the squared-off GMT400 generation from 1988, the basic concept of a ladder frame with rear leaf springs remained largely unchanged.

The register lists 9 versions with V8 engines of 5,662 to 6,210 cc. Kerb weights run from 2,040 to 2,953 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,500 to 3,500 kg; widths run from 1,900 to 2,120 mm.
As one of North America's best-selling pickups, the C/K series competed directly with the Ford F-Series and the Dodge Ram, serving both as a work vehicle in farming and construction and as the basis for numerous special bodies such as tippers and enclosed boxes. Generous axle ratings and straightforward drivetrain technology also made the range a popular base for motorhome chassis and fire-service bodies.
When buying a used example, checks should cover frame corrosion, particularly at the spring mounts and around the load bed, along with the condition of the clutch and automatic transmission. On the large-displacement V8s it is worth checking the ignition system, carburettor or injection, and the cooling system. Thanks to the huge production numbers, parts are widely available on the independent market.
