Chevrolet Ext Cab – the collective page of the C/K series' extended cab: K1500 to K2500 and C1500 to C2500, all V8, 5.7 to 6.2 litre displacement, 2.0 to 2.82 t kerb weight
"Ext Cab" denotes the extended cab of Chevrolet's second-generation full-size C/K pickups, built from 1988 into the late 1990s as the GMT400, offering extra storage space or jump seats behind the front seats. The type codes follow the familiar C/K scheme – C for rear-wheel drive, K for four-wheel drive, 1500 for the half-ton payload class, 2500 for the three-quarter-ton class – supplemented with TD for the turbodiesel variants.

The register lists 36 versions here, all with V8 engines and 5,700 to 6,211 cm³ displacement. Kerb weights range from 2,000 to 2,820 kg, gross vehicle weight from 2,722 to 3,500 kg, and widths from 1,850 to 2,400 mm.
With its extended cab, the Ext Cab targeted buyers who needed both a cargo bed and extra interior space, filling the gap between the classic regular-cab pickup and the later four-door Crew Cab; the GMT400 generation was for over a decade one of the best-selling truck types in North America.
Buying used, on these V8 pickups check the condition of the frame and cab floor (rust prone around the wheel arches and the extended cab section), engine and automatic transmission mileage, and on the turbodiesel variants the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger. Parts supply for the GMT400 range remains very good given the high production numbers.
